The intl-messageformat package is a library for internationalization that allows formatting of messages including variable replacement, number and date formatting, and pluralization. It is built on the Internationalization API provided by modern browsers and can be used in both browser and Node.js environments.
Variable Replacement
This feature allows you to insert variables into your message strings.
const IntlMessageFormat = require('intl-messageformat').default;
const message = new IntlMessageFormat('My name is {name}.');
const output = message.format({ name: 'Alice' });
console.log(output); // 'My name is Alice.'
Number Formatting
This feature allows you to format numbers according to the locale, including decimal and thousand separators.
const IntlMessageFormat = require('intl-messageformat').default;
const message = new IntlMessageFormat('The price is {price, number}.', 'en-US');
const output = message.format({ price: 123456.78 });
console.log(output); // 'The price is 123,456.78.'
Date Formatting
This feature allows you to format dates according to the locale.
const IntlMessageFormat = require('intl-messageformat').default;
const message = new IntlMessageFormat('Today is {today, date, long}.', 'en-US');
const output = message.format({ today: new Date() });
console.log(output); // 'Today is January 1, 2020.'
Pluralization
This feature allows you to handle plural forms of words based on numeric values.
const IntlMessageFormat = require('intl-messageformat').default;
const message = new IntlMessageFormat('{numPhotos, plural, =0{no photos} =1{one photo} other{# photos}}', 'en-US');
const output = message.format({ numPhotos: 1000 });
console.log(output); // '1000 photos'
