Django Makeallmessages

Django Makeallmessages allows you to set default arguments to your makemessage commands and covers all the regular file extensions, including your JavaScript files, with one command!

❌ Don't do this

$ python manage.py makemessages --locale=en
                                --locale=fr
                                --ignore=tests/*
$ python manage.py makemessages --locale=en
                                --locale=fr
                                --ignore=node_modules/*
                                --ignore=tests/*

Requirements

Django Makeallmessages requires Django 2.2 or later.

Fetching It

You can get Django Makeallmessages by using pip

$ pip install django-makeallmessages

To install it from source, clone the repository and run setup.py

$ git clone git://github.com/vonNiklasson/django-makeallmessages.git
$ cd django-makeallmessages
$ python setup.py install

Installation

To add django_makeallmessages to your project you must first add it to INSTALLED_APPS in the projects settings.py file

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_makeallmessages',
    ...
)

Configuration

You can configure default values to be used when running makeallmessages. This is done by setting the MAM_DEFAULTin your projects settings.py file.

Example:

MAM_DEFAULT = {
    "locale": ["en", "fr"],
    "extension": ["php", "twig"],
    "ignore": ["node_modules/*", "tests/*"],
    "no_wrap": True
}

The default settings are all derived from the arguments used in the standard makemessages command.

Available parameters:

• locale (list): A list locales you want to make messages from.
• extension (list): A list of extensions you want to include, beyond the standard extensions (html,txt,py,js)
• ignore (list): A list of files or directories to ignore matching a glob-style pattern.
• no_wrap (bool): A boolean that decides whether to not break long message lines into several lines.

Command line arguments

Two additional CLI arguments has been added to the makeallmessages apart from the default ones derived from makemessages.

The makeallmessages command is derived from the default makemessages, which means that you can still use any arguments that are valid for makemessages as well.

• --no-mam-default: Will ignore any default values set in the MAM_DEFAULT setting.
• --quiet, -q: Suppresses any output when running the command. Fatal errors will still be printed.
