What is the current behavior?

Issue Number: #1011

Key extraction runs seven tsquery selector queries per TypeScript file, each a full getChildren() traversal of the AST, and reads every HTML template twice (once to parse it, once more from disk in the comments extractor). On a 3000-file project that is ~3.9 s per extract, with about a third of the time inside tsquery/esquery and the keys-manager's own logic at ~2%. Profile details are in the linked issue.

What is the new behavior?

Same output, less work:

  • scan-source-file.ts walks each TypeScript AST once with forEachChild and collects imports, call expressions, local names bound to TranslocoService (constructor parameters and inject(TranslocoService) targets, including #private fields) and @Component inline templates.
  • The service / pure-function / signal / marker / inline-template extractors are now small filters over that scan. buildKeysFromASTNodes becomes buildKeysFromCall and takes the call expression directly.
  • ts-ast.utils.ts holds the shared helpers (parseTsSource, forEachDescendant, findDescendant(s), hasDescendant, nameText, resolveImportedName).
  • update-scopes-map.ts is ported to the same helpers, so @phenomnomnominal/tsquery is removed from the keys-manager and root package.json (it stays in the lockfile as a transitive dependency of the @nx/* tooling).
  • templateCommentsExtractor reuses the content already loaded by templateExtractor instead of re-reading the file.
  • Identifier text is read from .text instead of getText() on the hot paths.

Measured on a synthetic 3000-file project (1500 .ts + 1500 .html, 9000 keys), 5 alternating runs against a master worktree:

master this PR
TypeScript extraction phase ~2.1 s ~0.4 s
HTML extraction phase ~1.1 s ~1.1 s
CLI end to end (median of 5) 3.87 s 2.03 s

The HTML phase is unchanged by design: it is dominated by @angular/compiler's parseTemplate.

Verification: nx test transloco-keys-manager passes (222 tests, 1 pre-existing skip) with the extraction fixtures untouched. The only spec change is in performance.spec.ts, where the early-exit assertion now spies on the new parseTsSource helper instead of tsquery.ast. nx lint reports no errors; the new files use the lib's existing ts.isX default-import style, which the import-x/no-named-as-default-member rule flags as warnings like the code it replaces.

Two intentional edge-case differences, both in the direction of correctness:

  • A translate/selectTranslate member call is only attributed to the service when the receiver refers to an injected TranslocoService name. The old PropertyAccessExpression:has([text=name]) selector also matched unrelated foo.translate(...) calls whenever the service happened to be bound to a local called translate.
  • Inline templates are passed to the template extractor as the template literal's cooked text (.text) rather than its raw source including the backticks.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

  • Yes
  • No

Other information

Lockfile: npm install after removing the dependency also marked @phenomnomnominal/tsquery, esquery, estraverse, @types/esquery, @types/estree and typescript as dev-only (they are now only reached through @nx/* and the root devDependencies) and dropped an @noble/hashes entry that was already flagged extraneous on master.

Follow-ups that build on this and are deliberately out of scope here: parallelizing per-file extraction across worker_threads, and an incremental mode that skips files unchanged since the last run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Updated translation-key extraction for TypeScript services, marker calls, signal translations, and pure translation functions.
    • Improved handling of inline Angular templates and template comments during key extraction.
    • Added support for extracting nested translation parameters and language arguments.
    • Scope discovery now uses more consistent TypeScript analysis, helping maintain accurate generated translation keys.
    • Improved processing efficiency by reducing repeated source-file parsing and allowing already-read template content to be reused.

Replace the seven tsquery selector queries per TypeScript file with one
forEachChild walk that collects imports, calls, TranslocoService bindings
and inline templates; the service, pure-function, signal, marker and
inline-template extractors become filters over that scan. Port the
scopes-map resolution to the same helpers so @phenomnomnominal/tsquery
can be dropped. Templates are read from disk once: the comments
extractor reuses the content templateExtractor already loaded.

On a synthetic 3000-file project the TypeScript phase drops from ~2.1s
to ~0.4s and the CLI end-to-end median from 3.87s to 2.03s.

Closes jsverse#1011

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The key manager replaces tsquery-based extraction with shared TypeScript AST utilities and a single-pass source scan. Translation extractors consume scanned calls, inline templates use scanned content, scope parsing uses AST traversal, and performance tests track the new parser.

Changes

TypeScript extraction and scope parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
AST utilities and source scanning
libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/utils/ts-ast.utils.ts, libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/keys-builder/typescript/scan-source-file.ts
Adds AST parsing, traversal, naming, import resolution, and source scanning utilities.
Call key extraction
libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/keys-builder/typescript/build-keys-from-call.ts, libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/keys-builder/typescript/*extractor.ts
Centralizes call argument parsing and updates marker, pure-function, service, and signal extractors to use scanned calls.
Extractor pipeline and templates
libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/keys-builder/typescript/index.ts, libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/keys-builder/typescript/inline-template.ts, libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/keys-builder/template/comments.extractor.ts
Updates the extraction pipeline to parse and scan source once. Inline templates use scanned text, and comment extraction accepts optional content.
Scope provider AST traversal
libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/utils/update-scopes-map.ts
Replaces selector queries with recursive traversal for provider and scope resolution.
Dependency removal and performance validation
libs/transloco-keys-manager/package.json, libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/tests/performance.spec.ts
Removes the tsquery dependency and updates performance tests to observe parseTsSource calls.

Comment thread libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/utils/ts-ast.utils.ts Outdated
`import { other as marker }` no longer makes `other` count as the marker
function; only the exported `marker` / `translateSignal` binding does.
