Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Base(3)
NAME
Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Base - Base module for format parser
plugins
SYNOPSIS
package My::Parser::Plugin;
use base qw(Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Base);
sub file_types {
return [qw( ext ext2 )]
}
sub extract {
my $self = shift;
my $filename = shift;
local $_ = shift;
my $line = 1;
while (my $found = $self->routine_to_extract_strings) {
$self->add_entry($str,[$filename,$line,$vars])
}
return;
}
DESCRIPTION
All format parser plugins in Locale::Maketext::Extract inherit from
Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Base.
If you want to write your own custom parser plugin, you will need to
inherit from this module, and provide "file_types()" and "extract()"
methods, as shown above.
METHODS
new()
$plugin = My::Parser->new(
@file_types # Optionally specify a list of recognised file types
)
add_entry()
$plugin->add_entry($str,$line,$vars)
"entries()"
$entries = $plugin->entries;
"clear()"
$plugin->clear
Clears all stored entries.
file_types()
@default_file_types = $plugin->file_types
Returns a list of recognised file types that your module knows how
to parse.
Each file type can be one of:
o A plain string
'pl' => base filename is matched against qr/\.pl$/
'*' => all files are accepted
o A regex
qr/\.tt2?\./ => base filename is matched against this regex
o A codref
sub {} => this codref is called as $coderef->($base_filename,$path_to_file)
It should return true or false
extract()
$plugin->extract($filecontents);
extract() is the method that will be called to process the contents
of the current file.
When it finds a string that should be extracted, it should call
$self->add_entry($string,$line,$vars])
where $vars refers to any arguments that are being passed to the
localise function. For instance:
l("You found [quant,_1,file,files]",files_found)
string: "You found [quant,_1,file,files]"
vars : (files_found)
IMPORTANT: a single plugin instance is used for all files, so if
you plan on storing state information in the $plugin object, this
should be cleared out at the beginning of "extract()"
known_file_type()
if ($plugin->known_file_type($filename_with_path)) {
....
}
Determines whether the current file should be handled by this
parser, based either on the list of file_types speficied when this
object was created, or the default file_types specified in the
module.

and perl source files.
