Extract strings

npx intlayer extract

This command analyzes your code files to extract strings from components into a .content file close to the component. It supports interactive file selection or specific file targeting.

Aliases:

• npx intlayer ext

Arguments:

File selection options:

• -f, --file [files...]: List of specific files to extract. If not provided, the CLI will scan for matching files (**/*.{tsx,jsx,vue,svelte,ts,js}) and prompt you to select which ones to extract.

  Example: npx intlayer extract -f src/components/MyComponent.tsx

• --code-only: Only extract the component code (do not write content declaration).

  Example: npx intlayer extract --code-only

• --declaration-only: Only generate content declaration (do not rewrite component).

  Example: npx intlayer extract --declaration-only

Configuration options:

• --base-dir: Specify the base directory for the project.
• --env: Specify the environment.
• --env-file: Provide a custom environment file.
• --verbose: Enable verbose logging.
• --ci: Run the command in every Intlayer project of the monorepo (or only the current one when run from a project directory). Per-project credentials can be injected via INTLAYER_PROJECT_CREDENTIALS, a JSON map of project path to { "clientId", "clientSecret" }.

Required plugins:

The extract command works without additional plugin on TypeScript / JSX files. However, it requires the following plugins to be installed for Vue and Svelte projects:

• @intlayer/vue-compiler: For Vue files.
• @intlayer/svelte-compiler: For Svelte files.
