extract-react-intl-messages

This package will generate json or yaml files from a glob. It will generate one file per locale, with the ids of each message defined by the defineMessages function of react-intl. The value of each of these keys will be an empty string, except for your defaultLocale which will be populated with the defaultMessage.

Dependencies

  },
  world: {
    id: 'a.world',
    defaultMessage: 'world'

})

export const SubmitButton = () => {

  const label = intl.formatMessage({

    defaultMessage: 'Submit Button'
  })
  return <button aria-label={label}>{label}</button>
}
