# ExLokaliseTransfer

`ExLokaliseTransfer` is a wrapper around Lokalise API download and upload endpoints for Elixir projects.
It provides:
- sync and async download of translation bundles
- async upload of locale files
- retry/backoff handling
- polling for async processes
- local extraction utilities
> Sample app can be found in the [bodrovis/ex_lokalise_transfer_demo](https://github.com/bodrovis/ex_lokalise_transfer_demo) repo.
## Getting started
### Requirements
- Lokalise project
- Lokalise API token with read/write access
(read-only tokens work for downloads only)
### Installation
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:ex_lokalise_transfer, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
```
## Required application config
The following config is required globally.
Configure the Lokalise API token:
```elixir
config :elixir_lokalise_api,
api_token: {:system, "LOKALISE_API_TOKEN"}
```
Configure the Lokalise project id:
```elixir
config :ex_lokalise_transfer,
project_id: {:system, "LOKALISE_PROJECT_ID"}
```
## Downloading translation files
### Sync download
Downloads a bundle directly and extracts it locally.
```elixir
# You can also use ExLokaliseTransfer.download_sync()
ExLokaliseTransfer.download(
body: [
format: "json",
original_filenames: false
],
extra: [
extract_to: "./priv/locales"
]
)
```
Returns: `:ok | {:error, reason}`.
### Async download
Enqueues a bundle build in Lokalise, waits for completion, then downloads and extracts it.
```elixir
ExLokaliseTransfer.download_async(
body: [
format: "json"
],
poll: [
max_attempts: 15,
min_sleep_ms: 3_000,
max_sleep_ms: 60_000,
jitter: :centered
],
extra: [
extract_to: "./priv/locales"
]
)
```
## Uploading translations
### Async upload
Uploads multiple locale files and processes them asynchronously.
```elixir
{:ok, summary} =
ExLokaliseTransfer.upload(
body: [
format: "json"
],
extra: [
locales_path: "./priv/locales",
include_patterns: ["*.json"],
exclude_patterns: [],
lang_resolver: :basename
],
poll: [
max_attempts: 10,
min_sleep_ms: 3_000,
max_sleep_ms: 60_000,
jitter: :centered
]
)
```
Returns: `{:ok, summary} | {:error, summary}`
#### Summary structure
```elixir
%{
discovered_entries: [Entry.t()],
enqueue_successes: [
%{entry: Entry.t(), process_id: String.t()}
],
enqueue_errors: [
%{entry: Entry.t(), error: term()}
],
process_results: [
%{
entry: Entry.t(),
process_id: String.t(),
result: {:ok, map()} | {:error, term()}
}
],
errors: [term()]
}
```
## Options
All flows share a common structure of options:
```elixir
[
body: [...],
retry: [...],
poll: [...],
extra: [...]
]
```
### body — Lokalise API options
Passed directly to Lokalise bundle/upload requests.
Example:
```elixir
body: [
format: "json",
original_filenames: true,
directory_prefix: "",
indentation: "2sp"
]
```
- `format` (required for download)
- any other fields supported by Lokalise API
### retry — retry/backoff configuration
Used for API calls and downloads.
```elixir
retry: [
max_attempts: 3,
min_sleep_ms: 1_000,
max_sleep_ms: 60_000,
jitter: :centered
]
```
- `max_attempts` — total attempts (including first)
- `min_sleep_ms` — minimum delay
- `max_sleep_ms` — maximum delay
- `jitter` — `:centered` or `:full`
### poll — async polling configuration
Used only in async flows.
```elixir
poll: [
max_attempts: 10,
min_sleep_ms: 3_000,
max_sleep_ms: 60_000,
jitter: :centered
]
```
Controls how long the system waits for Lokalise async processes.
### extra — local behaviour options
#### Download
```elixir
extra: [
extract_to: "./priv/locales"
]
```
- `extract_to` — target directory for extracted files (automatically expanded to absolute path)
## Testing
Run:
```
mix test
```
To see coverage:
```
mix coveralls.html
```
### Integration testing
To run integration tests:
```
mix test --include integration
```
Note that in this case you'll need to set `LOKALISE_API_TOKEN` and `LOKALISE_PROJECT_ID` environment variables.
