Retrieve context, comments and reference via translate directive

[felixpis]

Now in html we can write <span translate translate-context="VERB" translate-comment="This is a title one">Title</span> And then in generated .pot file: # This is a title one #: example/example.html msgctxt "VERB" msgid "Title" msgstr ""

#37

Why this is not merged yet?? :cry:

@felixpis just a suggestion, I've added the pipe and function as well for the extraction (later I've noticed that the pipe will need some work), if you want to include this base :) https://github.com/picheli20/ngx-translate-extract/commit/a3e198795c6f834f197ac51ca2a83cf80ba03d77

Nice @picheli20, however there are some failing tests now (npm run test). Would be great to have this merged! @biesbjerg are you still open to new MR?

Also when the same string is used multiple times, only one path is registered in the .pot file. Shouldn't all files be listed?

@picheli20 Apologies if this is an inappropriate place to ask, but would be great if you could clarify the following.

Let's say that I use the pipe: {{ 'Home' | translate }}

How can I pass along/express context and comments there?

@felixpis made it clear how it works in the HTML tags, e.g.

<span translate translate-context="Context for home" translate-comment="Comment for home">Home</span>

@felixpis do you think you could release this separately on NPM? It doesn't look like it's going to get merged anytime soon

[jovpet]

still no merge, please do something! @felixpis, I've noticed that all the comments are being removed upon .po update. For instance my config is ngx-translate-extract --input ./src --output ./src/assets/i18n/*.po --c --f pot and when I have clean .po files (fr.po and en.po) comments are there, Once I run extract, and I need to make un update, all the comments get cleared.

You can use forked version with added context and comment support. This version adds file path to the item in .po file also.

Hello, any reason why this is not merged yet? Any workarounds available?
