Running Lyrebird #

The following guide assumes you have installed Lyrebird globally and added your ~/.pub-cache/bin folder to your system's PATH variable.

Currently, Lyrebird only supports opening a set of .ARB files located in a single directory. To launch Lyrebird, run

lyrebird

in the directory containing your l10n.yaml project file. This will start a local HTTP server which serves the Lyrebird web application as well as your Application Resource Bundles to your browser.

Open the highlighted URL printed to the console in a browser of your choice to open the web application and start editing.

Additional options #

If the project file is not located in the current working directory or is not named l10n.yaml, you can specify the file path via a CLI parameter.

lyrebird --project ./path/to/project.yaml

For a full list of options, run

lyrebird --help

Saving files #

To save the file you are currently editing, use the Ctrl+S shortcut (or Cmd+S on MacOS).
