glob support

would be nice if we could pass in a glob to the update script (or any of them that require the src dir).

for example:
ttag update i18n/*.po src/**/!(__tests__)/*.js to have it extract from every js file (not located in a __tests__ directory and then have it update every language.

is this already possible? couldn't find a way to have it exclude test files etc.

@benmonro

Hi @benmonro! Have not tried the exclude case. Agree that we should support it. Will try to investigate and report about the results here.

This is something I ran into as well. Would want to extract strings into separate .po files, being able to exclude a directory would solve it perfectly!

@AlexMost any update on this?

@benmonro

Hi @benmonro and @oscar-b. Haven't chance to look at it, but will try to find some time for this on this week.

@AlexMost Sorry to be a pita, but any progress? :)

Hi all, I wonder if anyone figured out a workaround...
I've been using ttag for over a year now in a nested project:

package.json
node_modules/
src/
src/Foo.js  // ← want to get translations from files like this
src/__scripts__/deploy/
src/__scripts__/deploy/package.json
src/__scripts__/deploy/src/index.js
src/__scripts__/deploy/node_modules/
src/__scripts__/deploy/node_modules/xmlbuilder/typings/index.d.ts  // ← now breaks `ttag update`

This set up used to work for a long while.
Recently, specifically ttag update got broken with a cryptic-ish error:

src/__scripts__/deploy/index.jsSyntaxError: /global-path-to/src/__scripts__/deploy/node_modules/xmlbuilder/typings/index.d.ts: `export =` is not supported by @babel/plugin-transform-typescript
Please consider using `export <value>;`.
   5 | // Definitions: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped
   6 |
>  7 | export = xmlbuilder;
     | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thus, I wonder, is there a way to tell tta-cli to ignore some submodule?

Also, if what I'm doing is clearly a bad idea, please tell why :D

Is this request open to contributions?
We need it in one of our (monorepo) projects, and I am happy to contribute 🙂

PRs are most welcome.
My 2c: solutioning, that is figuring out the path forward that feels right in the ecosystem, which may not be the original request, is welcome too.

@dimaqq

@dimaqq I got a PR up and running with an implementation proposal.
Let me know what you think; I am very keen on adding this capability into the library 🙂

@dimaqq

@dimaqq I think this issue can be closed, as it is part of ttag-cli@1.12.0

thanks!
