babel-plugin-react-intl-auto

i18n for the component age. Auto management react-intl ID.

React Intl is awesome. But, Global ID management is difficult and confusing.

Many projects, like react-boilerplate, give the ID to the name of the component as a prefix. But it is redundant and troublesome.

This babel-plugin releases you from cumbersome ID management. Based on the file path, this automatically generates a prefixed id.

Also, we strongly encourage you to use extract-react-intl-messages. You can generate json automatically.

Goodbye, global ID!!

Before

import { defineMessages, FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl'

export default defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'App.Components.Greeting.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello {name}',
  },
  welcome: {
    id: 'App.Components.Greeting.welcome',
    defaultMessage: 'Welcome!',
  },
})

const MyComponent = () => (
  <FormattedMessage
    id="App.Components.Greeting.goodbye"
    defaultMessage="goodbye {name}"
  />
)

After

With babel-plugin-react-intl-auto.

import { defineMessages, FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl'

export default defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello {name}',
  welcome: 'Welcome!',
})

const MyComponent = () => <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="goodbye {name}" />

See examples.

With extract-react-intl-messages

Example usage with extract-react-intl-messages.

$ extract-messages -l=en -o translations 'src/**/*.js'

en.json

{
  "components.App.hello": "hello {name}",
  "components.App.welcome": "Welcome",
  "components.App.189751785": "goodbye {name}" // unique hash of defaultMessage
}

  })
  return <button aria-label={label}>{label}</button>
}

Options

removePrefix

remove prefix.

Type: string | boolean | regexp
Default: ''

if removePrefix is true, no file path prefix is included in the id.

Example (src/components/App/messages.js)

when removePrefix is "src"

import { defineMessages } from 'react-intl';

export default defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello world'
});

           

import { defineMessages } from 'react-intl';

export default defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'components.App.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello world'
  }
});

when removePrefix is "src.components"

import { defineMessages } from 'react-intl';

export default defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello world'
});

           

import { defineMessages } from 'react-intl';

export default defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'App.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello world'
  }
});

when removePrefix is true

import { defineMessages } from 'react-intl';

export default defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello world'
});

           

import { defineMessages } from 'react-intl';

export default defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello world'
  }
});

filebase

Type: boolean
Default: false

if filebase is true, generate id with filename.

moduleSourceName

Type: string
Default: react-intl

if set, enables to use custom module as a source for defineMessages etc.

#74 (comment)

includeExportName

Type: boolean | 'all'
Default: false

if includeExportName is true, adds named exports as part of the id.

Only works with defineMessages.

Example
export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello {name}',
})

           

export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'path.to.file.test.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello {name}',
  },
})

If includeExportName is 'all', it will also add default to the id on default exports.

extractComments

Use leading comments as the message description.

Only works with defineMessages

Type: boolean
Default: true

Example
export const test = defineMessages({
  // Message used to greet the user
  hello: 'hello {name}',
})

           

export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'path.to.file.test.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello {name}',
    description: 'Message used to greet the user',
  },
})

useKey

Only works with intl.formatMessage, FormattedMessage and FormattedHTMLMessage. Instead of generating an ID by hashing defaultMessage, it will use the key property if it exists.

Type: boolean
Default: false

Example
intl.formatMessage({
  key: 'foobar',
  defaultMessage: 'hello'
});

           

intl.formatMessage({
  key: 'foobar',
  defaultMessage: 'hello',
  "id": "path.to.file.foobar"
});
<FormattedMessage key="foobar" defaultMessage="hello" />

           

<FormattedMessage id="path.to.file.foobar" key="foobar" defaultMessage="hello" />

separator

Allows you to specify a custom separator

Type: string
Default: .

Example

when separator is "_"

export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello {name}',
})

           

export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'path_to_file_test_hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello {name}',
  },
})

relativeTo

Allows you to specify the directory that is used when determining a file's prefix.

This option is useful for monorepo setups.

Type: string
Default: process.cwd()

Example

Folder structure with two sibling packages. packageB contains babel config and depends on packageA.

|- packageA
| |
|  -- componentA
|
|- packageB
| |
|  -- componentB
| |
|  -- .babelrc

Set relativeTo to parent directory in packageB babel config

{
  "plugins": [
    [
      "react-intl-auto",
      {
        "relativeTo": "..",
        // ...
      },
    ],
  ]
}

Run babel in packageB

cd packageB && babel

Messages in componentA are prefixed relative to the project root

export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: 'hello {name}',
})

           

export const test = defineMessages({
  hello: {
    id: 'packageA.componentA.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello {name}',
  },
})

Support variable

Example
const messages = { hello: 'hello world' }

export default defineMessages(messages)

           

const messages = {
  hello: {
    id: 'path.to.file.hello',
    defaultMessage: 'hello wolrd'
  }
};

export default defineMessages(messages);

TypeScript

TypeScript support is bundled with this package. Be sure to include our type definition and run @babel/plugin-transform-typescript beforehand. This way, you can also be empowered by extract-react-intl-messages.

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "jsx": "preserve"
    // ...
  },
  "include": ["node_modules/babel-plugin-react-intl-auto/**/*.d.ts"]
}

.babelrc

{
  "plugins": [["@babel/plugin-transform-typescript"], ["react-intl-auto"]]
}

webpack.config.js

Use babel-loader along with ts-loader when using webpack as well.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.tsx?$/,
        exclude: [/node_modules/],
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'babel-loader',
          },
          {
            loader: 'ts-loader',
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
}

If you want short consistent hash values for the ID, you can use react-intl-id-hash in addition to this plugin to help reduce your applications bundle size.
