@formatjs/cli
Advanced tools
Package description
@formatjs/cli is a command-line tool for internationalizing JavaScript applications. It provides functionalities for extracting, compiling, and managing translation messages, making it easier to handle localization in your projects.
Extract Messages
This command extracts all the translation messages from the JavaScript files in the 'src' directory and outputs them to a JSON file named 'en.json'.
npx formatjs extract 'src/**/*.js' --out-file lang/en.jsonCompile Messages
This command compiles the extracted messages from 'en.json' into a format that can be used by the application, outputting the result to 'en-compiled.json'.
npx formatjs compile lang/en.json --out-file lang/en-compiled.jsonCompile Messages with Pseudo-Localization
This command compiles the messages with pseudo-localization, which is useful for testing how the application handles different languages and character sets. The output is saved to 'en-pseudo.json'.
npx formatjs compile lang/en.json --pseudo-locale --out-file lang/en-pseudo.jsonFormat Messages
This command formats the extracted messages in 'en.json' to ensure consistency and readability, saving the formatted messages to 'en-formatted.json'.
npx formatjs format lang/en.json --out-file lang/en-formatted.jsoni18next is a popular internationalization framework for JavaScript. It provides a complete solution for localizing your application, including features for translation management, language detection, and interpolation. Compared to @formatjs/cli, i18next offers a more comprehensive set of tools for managing translations and supports a wider range of use cases.
react-intl is a library for internationalizing React applications. It provides React components and an API for formatting dates, numbers, and strings, as well as handling pluralization and gender-specific messages. While @formatjs/cli focuses on command-line tools for managing translations, react-intl integrates directly with React to provide runtime localization support.
Lingui is a minimalistic internationalization library for JavaScript. It offers a simple API for managing translations and supports message extraction, compilation, and formatting. Lingui is similar to @formatjs/cli in terms of functionality but aims to provide a more lightweight and straightforward solution for localization.
