eslint-plugin-react-i18n-extractor

Helper for react-intl i18n to extract string literals and attributes in a format that is suitable for formatJS, react-intl, etc.

This rule is inspired by jsx-no-literals and it expand his capabilities, impementing a --fix.

The rule is customizable, and enhance the development experience, especially if a linter is part of the developer lifecyle and/or there's the need to internazionalize a legacy application from scratch.

For example the rule can be integrated with an IDE (like IntelliJ, VSCode, emacs, VIM,...) and automatically transform the literal strings into a standard format.

As an example, by default this code

<div>Hello</div>

gets transformed into

<div><FormattedMessage id="relative.file.path.hello" defaultMessage="Hello"></div>

and if you enable the options noAttributeStrings and noAttributeStringsList=["title"]

<div title='my title'>Hello</div>

gets transformed into

<div title={formatMessage({id:'relative.file.path.div.title.my_title', defaultMesage:'my title'})}><FormattedMessage id="relative.file.path.hello" defaultMessage="Hello"></div>
