Perl/PHP/Ruby Associative Array (Hash) Parser Plugin

Plugin source location: <serge_root>/lib/Serge/Engine/Plugin/parse_hash.pm

This plugin is used to parse associative arrays (aka hashes) in 'key' => 'value' format which are used in Perl, PHP, and Ruby. Each key-value pair must be on its own line.

Code Examples

Perl: example.pl

my $localizations = {
    'key1' => 'string',
    'key2' => 'string',
    key3 => 'value', # barewords are not supported, skipped
    'key4' => 12345, # non-string values are not supported, skipped
    "key5" => "string", # double-quoted strings are not supported
    #...
};

PHP: example.php

$localizations = array(
    'key1' => 'string',
    'key2' => 'string',
    #...
);

Ruby: example.rb

localizations = {
    'key1' => 'string',
    'key2' => 'string',
    #...
}

Limitation: both key and value need to be encased in a single quotation mark symbols. Double-quoted strings or any other language-specific means to denote a string are not supported; symbols (in Ruby) or barewords (in Perl) are not supported, too. Neither supported are multi-line strings.
