SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext;
my $obj = Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext->new(
    # optional is_strict switch
    is_strict              => 1,
    # optional escape of % to %%
    is_escape_percent_sign => 1,
    # optional fromatter code
    formatter_code         => sub { ... },
    # space between number and singular/plural at function quant
    space                  => "\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}",
);
$expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($text, @args);
$expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($text, \@args);

DESCRIPTION

Utils to transform text from maketext to gettext style and reverse. Utils to expand placeholders in maketext or gettext style.

Locale::Maketext encapsulates the expander. To use the expander in other modules it is not possible. Use this module instead. Use method formatter_code and feel free how to format numerics. Use method sapce to prevent the linebreak bitween number and singular/plural.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

method new

see SYNOPSIS

method maketext_to_gettext

Maps maketext strings with


            

              
              
%
[_1]
[quant,_2,singular]
[quant,_3,singular,plural]
[quant,_4,singular,plural,zero]
[*,_5,singular]
[*,_6,singular,plural]
[*,_7,singular,plural,zero]

inside to


            

              
              
%%
%1
%quant(%2,singluar)
%quant(%3,singluar,plural)
%quant(%4,singluar,plural,zero)
%*(%5,singluar)
%*(%6,singluar,plural)
%*(%7,singluar,plural,zero)

inside. % to %% depends on is_escape_percent_sign


            

              
              
$gettext_string = $obj->maketext_to_gettext($maketext_string);

This method can called as class method too.


            

              
              
$gettext_string
    = Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext->maketext_to_gettext($maketext_string);

method gettext_to_maketext

It is the same like method maktetext_to_gettext only the other direction.


            

              
              
$maketext_string = $obj->gettext_to_maketext($gettext_string);

This method can called as class method too.


            

              
              
$maketext_string
    = Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext->gettext_to_maketext($gettext_string);

method space, reset_space

Set the space bitween number and singular/plural. Prevent the linebreak after the number using no-break space. The default of space is q{ }.


            

              
              
$obj->space( "\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}" ); # unicode example
$obj->reset_space; # to reset to the default q{ }

method is_strict

If is_strict is true: For normal replacement undef will be converted to q{}. For quant undef will be converted to 0.


            

              
              
$obj->is_strict(1); # boolean true or false;

method is_escape_percent_sign

If is_ecscpe_percent_sign is true: A single % willbe escaped to %%.


            

              
              
$obj->is_escape_percent_sign(1); # boolean true or false;

method formatter_code, clear_formatter_code

If it is needed to localize e.g. the numerics than describe this in a code reference.


            

              
              
my $code_ref = sub {
    my ($value, $type, $function_name) = @_;
    # $value is never undefined
    # $type is 'numeric' or 'string'
    # $function_name is 'quant' or undef
    ...
    return $value;
};
$obj->formatter_code($code_ref);

Than method expand_maketext and expand_gettext will run this code before the substitution of placeholders.

To switch off this code - clear them.


            

              
              
$obj->clear_formatter_code;

method expand_maketext

Expands strings containing maketext placeholders.

maketext style:


            

              
              
[_1]
[quant,_1,singular]
[quant,_1,singular,plural]
[quant,_1,singular,plural,zero]
[*,_1,singular]
[*,_1,singular,plural]
[*,_1,singular,plural,zero]
   $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($maketext_text, @args);

or


            

              
              
$expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($maketext_text, \@args);

method expand_gettext

Expands strings containing gettext placeholders.

gettext style:


            

              
              
%1
%quant(%1,singular)
%quant(%1,singular,plural)
%quant(%1,singular,plural,zero)
%*(%1,singular)
%*(%1,singular,plural)
%*(%1,singular,plural,zero)
   $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($gettext_text, @args);

or


            

              
              
$expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($gettext_text, \@args);
