Summary

Angular applications that use ngx-translate often store the translations in json files. Editing those files manually isn't ideal. Especially when compared to using IntelliJ Resource Bundles.

This node.js module converts properties files to simple json. This allows you to write your language files as a resource bundle using File Watchers to automatically call this module.

Installation

npm i -g ngx-translate-json-from-properties

Usage

$ ngxt-jfp --help
Options:
  --help          Show help                                            [boolean]
  --version       Show version number                                  [boolean]
  --input, -i     input file path

File Watcher

Create a file watcher and configure it. For example:
