Creating Repository

In this guide, we use mojito-cli to create a repository in mojito. Repository is a container for strings and their translations. It also stores localization configurations such as locales, an optional repository type, and integrity checkers.

Creating Repository

mojito repo-create -n MyRepo -d "Project A" -l de-DE es-ES fr-FR ja-JP

This creates a repository with name MyRepo with description Project A. Description is optional.

It is configured with locales de-DE es-ES fr-FR ja-JP. These locales are used to create translation requests to translators and to generate localized resource files. For more information about locales, see Managing Locales.

You can now see the repository MyRepo in the Webapp.

Creating Repository with Integrity Checker

mojito repo-create -n MyRepo -it resw:COMPOSITE_FORMAT -l fr-FR

This creates a repository with name MyRepo with locales fr-FR.

The repository is configured to use COMPOSITE_FORMAT integrity checker for files with resw extension. Integrity checkers are used to validate translations. Integrity checker configuration is optional but it is highly recommended to catch translations with errors and reject them. See Integrity Checkers for more information. If the repository is also assigned to a repository type, Mojito also runs that type’s checkers; see Creating Repository with a Repository Type.

Creating Repository with a Repository Type

mojito repo-create -n MyRepo --repo-type React -l fr-FR

This creates a repository named MyRepo assigned to the existing repository type React. Create that type first; see Repository Types. Omitting --repo-type, or passing an empty value, creates an untyped repository.

Assigning a type does not replace repository-level -it checkers. At check time Mojito runs the union of the type’s integrity checkers and the repository’s own checkers for each file extension. You can also assign or change the type later, or clear it:

mojito repo-update -n MyRepo --repo-type React

mojito repo-update -n MyRepo --repo-type ""

repo-view prints Repository type --> React when a type is assigned. Type-owned integrity checkers appear on a separate Repository type checkers line; repository -it checkers stay on Integrity checkers. See Integrity Checkers.

Updating Locales in Repository

mojito repo-update -n MyRepo -l es-ES fr-FR ja-JP zh-CN zh-TW

This updates locales for the repository to es-ES fr-FR ja-JP zh-CN zh-TW.

Renaming Repository

mojito repo-update -n MyRepo -nn ProjectA

This updates the name of the repository from MyRepo to ProjectA.

Deleting Repository

mojito repo-delete -n MyRepo

This deletes the repository MyRepo and it is no longer visible from the Webapp.
