intl-messageformat-parser
Advanced tools
The intl-messageformat-parser package is a tool for parsing ICU MessageFormat strings into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This is useful for internationalization (i18n) as it allows developers to handle complex message formatting in a structured way.
Parsing MessageFormat Strings
This feature allows you to parse a MessageFormat string into an AST. The AST can then be used for further processing or manipulation.
const { parse } = require('intl-messageformat-parser');
const message = 'Hello, {name}! You have {numMessages, plural, one {# message} other {# messages}}.';
const ast = parse(message);
console.log(JSON.stringify(ast, null, 2));
Handling Pluralization
This feature allows you to handle pluralization in messages. The parser can interpret plural rules and convert them into an AST.
const { parse } = require('intl-messageformat-parser');
const message = '{num, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}';
const ast = parse(message);
console.log(JSON.stringify(ast, null, 2));
Handling SelectFormat
This feature allows you to handle select format in messages. The parser can interpret select rules and convert them into an AST.
const { parse } = require('intl-messageformat-parser');
const message = '{gender, select, male {He} female {She} other {They}} will respond soon.';
const ast = parse(message);
console.log(JSON.stringify(ast, null, 2));
The messageformat package provides similar functionality for handling ICU MessageFormat strings. It includes both a parser and a compiler, allowing you to parse MessageFormat strings and compile them into JavaScript functions. Compared to intl-messageformat-parser, it offers a more comprehensive solution by including both parsing and compiling capabilities.
The format-message package is another tool for handling ICU MessageFormat strings. It provides a simple API for formatting messages and supports interpolation, pluralization, and select format. While it does not provide a direct AST like intl-messageformat-parser, it offers a higher-level API for message formatting.
i18next is a full-featured internationalization framework for JavaScript. It supports various types of message formatting, including ICU MessageFormat. While it is more comprehensive and includes features like language detection and translation management, it may be overkill if you only need to parse MessageFormat strings.
