CLI onboarding path ​

Install ​

Install the CLI from npm and run it as i18nprune.

Example:

bash
npm i i18nprune
# run: npx i18nprune ...

Init / config ​

If you do not have a config file yet, generate one:

bash
i18nprune init

Edit i18nprune.config.* to match your project layout and policies. See Config.

Validate (read-only) ​

Use validate to check that your translation calls match your source locale JSON.

bash
i18nprune validate
i18nprune validate --json

Sync (structure alignment) ​

Use sync to update non-source locale JSON so the file structure matches the source.

bash
i18nprune sync --dry-run
i18nprune sync

Generate / missing (target locale updates) ​

Use generate to translate and write target locale files:

bash
i18nprune generate --target ja

Use missing to add placeholder values for literal keys that exist in code but are not present in the chosen locale file(s):

bash
i18nprune missing

Cache flags (when you want speed and diagnostics) ​

If you run repeated scans, read the CLI cache behavior and flags: CLI cache.

Useful knobs include --no-cache, --debug-cache, and --cache-profile.
