Intl extract from <FormattedMessage> to json dictionary

This is a command line tool to help extracting dictionaries from react-intl apps written in es6 and typescript.

If your app is internationalized using react-intl, you use the component <FormattedMessage> (and other react-intl components) for i18n strings.

This tool configures babel, react intl and babel-plugin-react-intl and offers a simple command to manage your app's dictionaries.

Install

npm i react-intl-extract

Usage

Cli

npx react-intl-extract [options]

Options

• -l (--locales): list of languages, it will produce a dictionary for every language, comma separated (deafult: en,it)
• -s (--src): source directory, where your .jsx|.tsx files are located (default ${cwd}/src)
• -o (--output): destination directory, where your dictionaries will be saved (default ${cwd}/locales)
• -v (--version): shows script version
• -h (--help): shows available options

Example

npx react-intl-extract -s src -o lib/locales -l en,it,es,fr

Directory structure:

- /
  - /lib
    - /locales
      - en.json
      - es.json
      - fr.json
      - index.ts
      - it.json
  - /src
    - ...jsx
    - ...tsx

As a node library

import extract from 'react-intl-extract';

extract({
  locales: ['en', 'it', 'es'],
  src: `${__dirname}/src`,
  output: `${__dirname}/locales`
});
