react-i18n-manager

A system to auto manage your react intl extractedMessages, into language files in a seperate repo, with added support for mozilla pontoon

• this library requires: babel-plugin-react-intl installed and configured https://github.com/formatjs/formatjs/tree/master/packages/babel-plugin-react-intl

• it stores your language files in a seperate public repository that you depend on that should be setup like this repo https://github.com/g-loot/gll-play-localization basic configuration is a messages folder and an index.js folder

• add your localization repo as a dependency of your frontend client, and import the locales with messages objects like so

import locales from 'gll-play-localization';

export default locales;

• As of now it only supports .properties lang files which get parsed as json in runtime using propson package so you need to configure RawPlugin for fusebox to import .properties as string

• pass down your locales configured like this

[
  {
    "name": "English",
    "codeName": "en",
    "locale": "en-US",
    "contentfulLocale": "en-US",
    "defaultLocale": true
  },
  {
    "name": "Vietnamese",
    "codeName": "vi",
    "locale": "vi",
    "contentfulLocale": "vi"
  },
  ...etc
]
