The patterns to use when extracting strings from files.
Param: mergePaths
Comma-separated list of POT files whose contents should be merged with the extracted strings.
If left empty, defaults to the destination POT file. POT file headers will be ignored.
Param: subtractPaths
Comma-separated list of POT files whose contents should act as some sort of denylist
for string extraction. Any string which is found on that denylist will not be extracted. This can be useful when
you want to create multiple POT files from the same source directory with slightly different content and no duplicate
strings between them.
Param: subtractAndMerge
Whether source code references and comments from the generated POT file should be
instead added to the POT file used for subtraction. Warning: this modifies the files passed to subtractPaths!
Param: include
Comma-separated list of files and paths that should be used for string extraction.
If provided, only these files and folders will be taken into account for string extraction.
For example, --include="src,my-file.php will ignore anything besides my-file.php and files in the src
directory. Simple glob patterns can be used, i.e. --include=foo-*.php includes any PHP file with the foo-
prefix. Leading and trailing slashes are ignored, i.e. /my/directory/ is the same as my/directory.
Param: exclude
Comma-separated list of files and paths that should be skipped for string extraction.
For example, --exclude=.github,myfile.php would ignore any strings found within myfile.php or the .github
folder. Simple glob patterns can be used, i.e. --exclude=foo-*.php excludes any PHP file with the foo-
prefix. Leading and trailing slashes are ignored, i.e. /my/directory/ is the same as my/directory.
The following files and folders are always excluded: node_modules, .git, .svn, .CVS, .hg, vendor, *.min.js.
