✨ VERSION ✨

1.027 — that's the one, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module gives you additional maketext methods, kinda like what Locale::Maketext::Simple does — the whole point is you can run that vibe on projects that are already using Locale::Maketext at the moment. no need to yeet your existing setup, we're just adding sparkle ✨

And listen: if you wanna run maketext with a different context (msgctxt), you run the method maketext_p. that's the whole thing, that's the assignment 💅

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

    my $loc = Locale::Text::TextDomain::OO->new(
        plugins => [ qw (
            Expand::Maketext
            ...
        )],
        ...
    );

Optional type formatting — go peek at Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext for the possible methods bestie 👀

    $loc->expand_maketext->formatter_code($code_ref);

💖 SUBROUTINES/METHODS 💖

🌸 method expand_maketext

It hands you back the Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext object so you can set some options on it. that's it, that's the method 🫶

    my $expander_object = $self->expand_maketext;

⭐ translation methods

🎀 method maketext

This method includes the expansion as 'quant' or '*'. so slay.

    print $loc->maketext(
        'Hello World!',
    );

    print $loc->maketext(
        'Hello [_1]!',
        'Steffen',
    );

    print $loc->maketext(
        '[quant,_1,file read,files read]',
        $num_files,
    );

💜 method maketext_p (allows the context)

yes bestie, the _p means it takes a context. watch:

    print $loc->maketext_p (
        'time',
        'to',
    );

    print $loc->maketext_p (
        'destination',
        'to',
    );

    print $loc->maketext_p (
        'destination',
        'from [_1] to [_2]',
        'Chemnitz',
        'Erlangen',
    );

    print $loc->maketext_p(
        'maskulin',
        'Mr. [_1] has [*,_2,book,books].',
        $name,
        $books,
    );

🧚 methods Nmaketext, Nmaketext_p

Okay so here's the tea ☕ the extractor looks for "maketext('..." and it has no problem with "<$loc-"Nmaketext('...>>.

That's literally the whole idea of the N-Methods. big brain energy fr fr.

    $loc->Nmaketext('...');
    $loc->Nmaketext_p('...', '...');
