Overview

Handles JSON file operations

Provides methods for:

  • Reading and parsing JSON files
  • Writing JSON files with proper formatting
  • Merging translations (incremental mode)
  • Handling exclusions
  • Flattening/unflattening nested structures

Examples:

Reading a JSON file

handler = JsonHandler.new(config)
data = handler.read_json("config/locales/en.json")

Writing translations

handler.write_json("config/locales/it.json", { "it" => { "greeting" => "Ciao" } })

Instance Method Details

#build_output_path(target_lang_code) ⇒ String

Examples:

path = handler.build_output_path("it")
#=> "config/locales/it.json"

  File.join(config.output_folder, "#{target_lang_code}.json")
end

#create_backup_file(file_path) ⇒ void (private)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

This method returns an undefined value.

  # Rotate existing backups if max_backups > 1
  rotate_backups(file_path) if config.max_backups > 1

  # Create primary backup
  backup_path = "#{file_path}.bak"
  FileUtils.cp(file_path, backup_path)
end

#filter_exclusions(strings, target_lang_code) ⇒ Hash

Filter out excluded keys for a specific language

Examples:

filtered = handler.filter_exclusions(strings, "it")

  excluded_keys = config.global_exclusions.dup
  excluded_keys += config.exclusions_per_language[target_lang_code] || []

  strings.reject { |key, _| excluded_keys.include?(key) }
end

#get_source_strings ⇒ Hash

Get translatable strings from source JSON

Reads the input file and returns a flattened hash of strings. Removes the root language key if present.

Examples:

strings = handler.get_source_strings
#=> { "greeting" => "Hello", "nav.home" => "Home" }

  # Remove root language key if present (e.g., "en:")
  source_data = source_data[config.source_language] || source_data

  Utils::HashFlattener.flatten(source_data)
end

#merge_translations(file_path, new_translations) ⇒ Hash

Merge translated strings with existing file (incremental mode)

Examples:

merged = handler.merge_translations("config/locales/it.json", new_translations)

    # Extract actual translations (remove language wrapper if present)
    target_lang = config.target_languages.first[:short_name]
    existing = existing[target_lang] || existing
  else
    existing = {} # : Hash[untyped, untyped]
  end

  existing_flat = Utils::HashFlattener.flatten(existing)

  # Merge: existing takes precedence
  merged = new_translations.merge(existing_flat)

  Utils::HashFlattener.unflatten(merged)
end

#read_json(file_path) ⇒ Hash

Read and parse JSON file

Examples:

data = handler.read_json("config/locales/en.json")
#=> { "en" => { "greeting" => "Hello" } }
