For more information about Texterify visit https://github.com/texterify/texterify.

Installation

yarn global add texterify

or

npm install -g texterify

Authentication

The texterify utility can be configured by placing a .texterify.json in your home folder.

Authenticate via global config

The authentication against the Texterify server is configured in the global ~/.texterify.json configuration file. Make sure to always keep the global config file private.

Example ~/.texterify.json

{
    "auth_email": "email@example.com",
    "auth_secret": "aG2DzuoWG30a3IHwOKMQUg"
}

Option	Description	Optional
auth_email	The email you use to log in on Texterify.	No
auth_secret	An access token you can generate at https://app.texterify.com/dashboard/settings/access-tokens.	No

Authenticate by passing auth credentials to commands

You can also pass the auth credentials to the CLI tool by adding --auth-email=<value> and --auth-secret=<value> to your command.

CLI passed auth credentials have precedence over those defined in the global config.

Project Config

It is recommended that you put the project config texterify.json in the root directory of your project (otherwise you need to set project_path).

No sensitive data should be stored in your project config so you can safely check this file in with your code and share it with others.

Example texterify.json

{
    "api_base_url": "https://app.texterify.com/api",
    "api_version": "v1",
    "project_id": "b53faf34-934a-491b-84aa-d880f3c2bce8",
    "export_configuration_id": "9bd1edfc-9d43-449d-9e51-7990630baf74",
    "export_directory": "translations",
    "project_path": ""
}

Option	Description	Optional
api_base_url	The path where the API is located usually ending in /api.	No
api_version	The version of the API (for now only v1 is available).	No
project_id	The project you want to manage. The project ID can be found on the project overview site or in the URL of the project sites.	No
export_configuration_id	The ID of the export configuration. This can also be configured with --export-config-id on the command line.	No
export_directory	The directory where your translations will be exported to.	No
project_path	The path to your project. This can also be configured with --project-path on the command line.	Yes
