Hello,

The compiler now can generate (as FPC itself does) a file with all the resource strings in your unit or program.

The generating of this file is controlled by the new -Jr option. It can take 3 possible arguments:

none: This is the default, no file is generated.
unit: one file per compiled unit will be generated. This file will contain all resource strings of the unit. program: one file is generated for the main file. This fill will contain all used resource strings for the main file and all the units it uses.

If you compile a program, then the program option will generate a file with all the used resource strings in your program.

The rstranslate unit (announced earlier this week) can read this (translated) file and translate all resource strings.

This is not yet in fixes, just in trunk.

Great!

The format does not look like fpc's rsj. Why has it the same extension?

Mattias

Because it is a logical extension.

How else would you abbreviate "Resource String JSON"

We can of course make it JSON Resource String - .jrs - to avoid confusion.

IMO the above wiki page should explain shortly why pas2js is not using fpc's format and what tools translators can use.

+1

Mattias

I explained why.

As soon as tools for translators appear, they will be added to the page.

This could in fact be a nice contribution: write a small web-based tool to translate a .jrs file.

Done.

Any idea how to insert inlined JSON data at the main HTML like this: https://pastebin.com/vwF8TRW0

It seems you just did it, so what is the question ?

Michael.

For instance, when you compile a program,

pas2js -Jrprogram data.pp -B

It will generate an external file, e.g. "data.jrs", with all used resource strings for the main file and all the units it uses.

Now, let's suppose, when you compile a program, with the option

pas2js -Jrprogram data.pp -MainHTML

...the compiler it will auto add inline JSON data at main HTML file for you, all the used resource strings (*.jrs), all forms streams (*.wfm), the compiler will generate several script type ="application/json" for each resource with custom data/id tag.

ahm, a HTML template feature

The compiler itself will not emit HTML.

But you can use the postprocessor feature for this kind of thing, that is why it was added. If necessary we can add some arguments to that or create a kind of 'linker' file containing collected info about the generated files.

This kind of thing is exactly what TMS Web core does: it wraps extra functionality around the compiler.
