messageformat

The purpose of this package is to precompile messages as optimised functions for translation with full messageformat support.

Command Line Interface

The CLI messageformat (usable via npm scripts) takes a hash of messages in json as input and generates a js file that exports a factory of compiled messages as an UMD module.

And helpers CLI utils (usable via npm scripts), based on CLDR data:

1. plural: geneates a factory of plural and ordinal functions of common locales as an UMD module
2. currency: exports a factory of currency mapping of common locales as an UMD module
3. list: exports a factory of list formats of common locales as an UMD module

messageformat

Takes a hash of messages in json as input and generates a js file that exports a factory of compiled messages as an UMD module.

Usage:

messageformat [options] < messages.json

or

cat messages.json | messageformat [options]

ex:

messageformat --locale en-US --currency --debug < test/messages.json | npx uglifyjs --beautify > i18n.js

messageformat --locale en-US --currency < test/messages.json | npx uglifyjs > i18n.min.js

Options: --locale=<locale code> Set locale

Optional settings: --name=<function name> Default is "i18n" --debug Debug messages on error at runtime

Enable currency support: --currency Guess currency from locale, see currencies.js --currency=<currency code> Set currency

Custom date, number & time formats: --date=<intl date formats json> Default formats are provided (short, medium,long, full) --number=<intl number formats json> Default formats are provided (decimal, integer, percent, currency) --time=<intl time formats json> Default formats are provided (short, medium,long, full)

Custom plural & ordinal rules: --plural=<plural js file> Default is resolved from locale, see plurals.js --ordinal=<ordinal js file> Default is resolved from locale, see ordinals.js

plural

Geneates a factory of plural or ordinal functions of common locales as an UMD module.

The plural generated js files are exported in dist/plurals.js and dist/ordinals.js.

Usage:

plural | npx uglifyjs --beautify > dist/plurals.js

plural | npx uglifyjs > dist/plurals.min.js

plural --ordinal | npx uglifyjs --beautify > dist/ordinals.js

plural --ordinal | npx uglifyjs > dist/ordinals.min.js

Options: --ordinal Generates ordinals functions (instead of purals)

currency

Exports a factory of currency mapping of common locales as an UMD module.

The currency generated js file is exported in dist/currencies.js.

Usage:

currency | npx uglifyjs --beautify > dist/currencies.js

currency | npx uglifyjs > dist/currencies.min.js

list

Exports a factory of list formats of common locales as an UMD module.

The list generated js file is exported in dist/lists.js.

Usage:

list | npx uglifyjs --beautify > dist/lists.js

list | npx uglifyjs > dist/lists.min.js
