Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@messageformat/parser

An AST parser for ICU MessageFormat strings – part of messageformat.

The parse(src, [options]) function takes two parameters, first the string to be parsed, and a second optional parameter options, an object with the following possible keys:

  • cardinal and ordinal – Arrays of valid plural categories for the current locale, used to validate plural and selectordinal keys. If these are missing or set to false, the full set of valid Unicode CLDR keys is used: 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many', 'other'. To disable this check, pass in an empty array.

  • strict – By default, the parsing applies a few relaxations to the ICU MessageFormat spec. Setting strict: true will disable these relaxations:

    • The argType of simpleArg formatting functions will be restricted to the set of number, date, time, spellout, ordinal, and duration, rather than accepting any lower-case identifier that does not start with a number.
    • The optional argStyle of simpleArg formatting functions will not be parsed as any other text, but instead as the spec requires: "In argStyleText, every single ASCII apostrophe begins and ends quoted literal text, and unquoted {curly braces} must occur in matched pairs."
    • Inside a plural or selectordinal statement, a pound symbol (#) is replaced with the input number. By default, # is also parsed as a special character in nested statements too, and can be escaped using apostrophes ('#'). In strict mode # will be parsed as a special character only directly inside a plural or selectordinal statement. Outside those, # and '#' will be parsed as literal text.

The parser only supports the default DOUBLE_OPTIONAL apostrophe mode, in which a single apostrophe only starts quoted literal text if it immediately precedes a curly brace {}, or a pound symbol # if inside a plural format. A literal apostrophe ' is represented by either a single ' or a doubled '' apostrophe character.

This package was previously named messageformat-parser.

Installation

npm install @messageformat/parser

Usage

> const { parse } = require('@messageformat/parser')
// For clarity, the examples below do not show the ctx object included for each token

> parse('So {wow}.')
[ { type: 'content', value: 'So ' },
  { type: 'argument', arg: 'wow' },
  { type: 'content', value: '.' } ]

> parse('Such { thing }. { count, selectordinal, one {First} two {Second}' +
        '                  few {Third} other {#th} } word.')
[ { type: 'content', value: 'Such ' },
  { type: 'argument', arg: 'thing' },
  { type: 'content', value: '. ' },
  { type: 'selectordinal',
    arg: 'count',
    cases: [
      { key: 'one', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'First' } ] },
      { key: 'two', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'Second' } ] },
      { key: 'few', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'Third' } ] },
      { key: 'other',
        tokens: [ { type: 'octothorpe' }, { type: 'content', value: 'th' } ] }
    ] },
  { type: 'content', value: ' word.' } ]

> parse('Many{type,select,plural{ numbers}selectordinal{ counting}' +
                         'select{ choices}other{ some {type}}}.')
[ { type: 'content', value: 'Many' },
  { type: 'select',
    arg: 'type',
    cases: [
      { key: 'plural', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'numbers' } ] },
      { key: 'selectordinal', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'counting' } ] },
      { key: 'select', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'choices' } ] },
      { key: 'other',
        tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'some ' }, { type: 'argument', arg: 'type' } ] }
    ] },
  { type: 'content', value: '.' } ]

> parse('{Such compliance')
// ParseError: invalid syntax at line 1 col 7:
//
//  {Such compliance
//        ^

> const msg = '{words, plural, zero{No words} one{One word} other{# words}}'
> parse(msg)
[ { type: 'plural',
    arg: 'words',
    cases: [
      { key: 'zero', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'No words' } ] },
      { key: 'one', tokens: [ { type: 'content', value: 'One word' } ] },
      { key: 'other',
        tokens: [ { type: 'octothorpe' }, { type: 'content', value: ' words' } ] }
    ] } ]

> parse(msg, { cardinal: [ 'one', 'other' ], ordinal: [ 'one', 'two', 'few', 'other' ] })
// ParseError: The plural case zero is not valid in this locale at line 1 col 17:
//
//   {words, plural, zero{
//                   ^

For more example usage, please take a look at our test suite.

Structure

The output of parse() is an array of tokens, Array<Content | PlainArg | FunctionArg | Select>:

interface Content {
  type: 'content'
  value: string
  ctx: Context
}

interface PlainArg {
  type: 'argument'
  arg: string
  ctx: Context
}

interface FunctionArg {
  type: 'function'
  arg: string
  key: string
  param?: Array<Content | PlainArg | FunctionArg | Select | Octothorpe>
  ctx: Context
}

interface Select {
  type: 'plural' | 'select' | 'selectordinal'
  arg: string
  cases: Array<SelectCase>
  pluralOffset?: number
  ctx: Context
}

interface SelectCase {
  key: string
  tokens: Array<Content | PlainArg | FunctionArg | Select | Octothorpe>
  ctx: Context
}

interface Octothorpe {
  type: 'octothorpe'
  ctx: Context
}

interface Context {
  offset: number
  line: number
  col: number
  text: string
  lineBreaks: number
}
