Whether you are developing an app or just using Ruby to script some tasks, transifex-interface-ruby is a library that can help when it comes to send content to Transifex. This is a neat piece of code that wrappers Transifex's API and offers an easy interphase to create projects, sent and pull files directly from your ruby code. Below you can see a list of the main functionalities it has.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'transifex-interface-ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install transifex-interface-ruby

Usage

Initialization

To initialize the gem, you will have to create an initializer like follow:

Transifex.configure do |c|
  c.client_login = 'your_client_login'
  c.client_secret = 'your_secret'
end

Then restart the server.

If you don't do this you will end up with the following error:

#<Transifex::TransifexError: Authorization Required>

Projects (to fetch all projects and create a new one)

Fetch

To fetch all the projects owned by the account specified in the initializer:

Transifex::Projects.create(private_project_params)

For a public project:


public_project_params = {:slug => "public_project", :name => "Public Project", :description => "description", :source_language_code => "en", :repository_url => "http://example.com"}

Transifex::Projects.create(public_project_params)
