Current behavior You have to manually extract strings you want translated

Expected/desired behavior A tool that automatically extracts strings using translate pipe in templates or the get method in components.

Maybe I missed something and this is already possible, but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere and have been unable to find anything related using Google.

Nothing public yet. I will be a nodejs lib that you can call as a cli, or include as a library if you prefer. You’ll give it a glob of files to parse (ex: ["src/*.ts", "src/*.html"]) and it will use regexps to find matches. The tricky part is the find the correct matches and transform them into keys 😃

Closing this issue now, use @biesbjerg’s extractor if you need it ! It works well 😃
