Pull Distant Dictionaries

If intlayer editor is installed, you can also pull dictionaries from the editor. By this way, you can overwrite the content of your dictionaries for the need of your application.

Aliases:

• npx intlayer dictionaries pull
• npx intlayer dictionary pull
• npx intlayer dic pull

Arguments:

Dictionary options:

• -d, --dictionaries: Ids of the dictionaries to pull. If not specified, all dictionaries will be pulled.

  Example: npx intlayer dictionary pull -d my-dictionary-id my-other-dictionary-id

• --dictionary: Ids of the dictionaries to pull (alias for --dictionaries).

  Example: npx intlayer dictionary pull --dictionary my-dictionary-id my-other-dictionary-id

Configuration options:

• --base-dir: Specify the base directory for the project. To retrieve the intlayer configuration, the command will look for the intlayer.config.{ts,js,json,cjs,mjs} file in the base directory.

  Example: npx intlayer dictionary push --env-file .env.production.local

• --env: Specify the environment (e.g., development, production).

• --env-file: Provide a custom environment file to load variables from.

Output options:

• --new-dictionaries-path : Path to the directory where the new dictionaries will be saved. If not specified, the news dictionaries will be saved in the ./intlayer-dictionaries directory of the project. If a filePath fields is specified in your dictionary content, the dictionaries will not consider this argument and will be saved in the specified filePath directory.
