MessageFormat Compile Object

Compile messageformat.js translation string objects.

Installation

npm install messageformat-compile-object --save

Usage

var compile = require('messageformat-compile-object');

var obj = {locale: 'es'};

obj.strings = {
  "foo": {
    "bar": "baz!"
  }
};

obj.plural = function (n) {
  return n === 1 ? 'one' : 'other';
};

compile(obj, function (err, fns) {
  fns().strings.foo.bar(); // "baz!"
});

Options

locale - The locale to use. MessageFormat defaults to 'en'.

strings - The translation strings to compile. Required

plural - Specify a plural function for the locale. MessageFormat includes most of these.

formatters - Specify formatters for the locale.

Build script

That's great… but how do I write this to a build script:

var compile = require('messageformat-compile-object');
var fs = require('fs');
var src = require('./locale');
var dest = ...

compile(src, function (err, fns) {
  var build = 'module.exports = ' + fns.toString();
  fs.writeFileSync(dest, build);
});
