I need a list of key parameters inside the extracted json file

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to get an output like ngx-translate-extract does.

Current output:
`{
  "core.license.selectFile": "Missing value for 'core.license.selectFile'",
  "core.license.unableToGetFeatureValue": "Missing value for 'core.license.unableToGetFeatureValue'",
  "core.license.upload": "Missing value for 'core.license.upload'"
}`

Exprected output:
`{
  "core.license.selectFile": [],
  "core.license.unableToGetFeatureValue": [
    "feature"
  ],
  "core.license.upload": []
}`

Code:
this.translateService.translate('core.license.unableToGetFeatureValue', { feature: 'LineName' });

As you can see "core.license.unableToGetFeatureValue" has a parameter named "feature" inside the translate function and I need this parameter inside the extract output.

@truthz03 I don't understand, what's the feature? The keys manager's job is to extract the keys.
You can pass an array as a custom missing key value if you need it as an arrys.

@shaharkazaz Thanks for your answer.
Can you complete the command with this custom stuff. I don't know how this should work.
"transloco-keys-manager extract --file-format json ..."

@truthz03 This is why we have docs 🙂
See defaultValue under the options section

@shaharkazaz Sorry I missused the word "key" 😅
I don't need an array of keys, I need an array of parameters used inside the key (I updated my initial post)
I need this feature because I use the json output to add all keys including the parameters to a database
Currently I don't see an option to add the parameters to the json output or are I'm wrong?

[Shahar Kazaz]

@truthz03 You are correct, the only thing that's currently extracted are the keys.
Would love to see an example of an input/outpt of the other lib you mentioned.

@shaharkazaz
Look at the "Exprected output" above. This is how ngx-translate-extract is extracting the keys with parameters

[Shahar Kazaz]

But why an array?

[truthz03]

Because there could be more than 1 parameter

[Shahar Kazaz]

That I understand 🙂
Why represent the result as an array and not a string with the parameters in it?

[truthz03]

To write the keys including the parameters into my db I need all parameters separately.
Parsing an array is easier than a string and probably faster.
And I also don't have to change anything inside my tool ^^
But if an array is not possible I will also take a string 😉

[Shahar Kazaz]

@truthz03 Anything is possible 🙂
I don't think that the speed would be noticeable either way, this isn't a heavy lifting operation.
I need to think about what would be best for all the users of this lib since this is the first time this was raised.
