Overview

Intlayer-CLI provides a suite of commands to manage Intlayer dictionaries and configuration from the command line. It supports building dictionaries, auditing translations for gaps, live-syncing content, and pulling/pushing data to a remote source like the Intlayer CMS via npx intlayer <command>.

How This Skill Works

Install the intlayer-cli package and invoke commands with npx intlayer <command> (e.g., build, audit, live-sync, pull, push, test, extract). The CLI reads local dictionary data, validates translations, and communicates with a remote source to generate, update, and synchronize content as needed.

When to Use It

• Auditing translations for missing keys to ensure localization coverage
• Building dictionaries after adding or updating components with translatable strings
• Synchronizing dictionaries in real-time with a remote source (live-sync)
• Pulling the latest dictionaries from a remote source before deployment
• Extracting content from UI components to create or update dictionary entries

Quick Start

1. Step 1: npm install intlayer-cli
2. Step 2: npx intlayer build
3. Step 3: npx intlayer audit && npx intlayer push (or pull) to sync with the remote source

Best Practices

• Run audit before build to catch missing translations early
• Keep local dictionaries in version control and tag releases
• Use live-sync during development for real-time updates
• Test dictionaries with intlayer test before pushing to production
• Review extract outputs to ensure all required keys are included

Example Use Cases

• Audit translations for a new language pack in a React app
• Build dictionaries after introducing a new component with translatable strings
• Live-sync translations while implementing UI changes across locales
• Pull the latest dictionaries prior to a production deployment
• Extract content from a component to create or update dictionary entries
