MessageFormat i18n

This module exists in order to compile .yaml files with localisations in ICU MessageFormat into .js files which can be used easily throughout your application. The files generated are CommonJS compatible, meaning they will work with NodeJS and browserify. The files can also be used by themselves in the browser, with the localisations being available under window.t.

Example

Initial directory structure:

./
    i18n/
        en/
            test.yaml
        fr/
            test.yaml
    index.js

Contents of en/test.yaml:

plural: >
    You have {itemCount, plural,
        =0 {no items}
        one {1 item}
        other {# items}
    }.

Contents of fr/test.yaml:

plural: >
    Vous {itemCount, plural,
        =0 {n'avez pas des objects}
        one {avez un objet}
        other {avez # objets}
    }.

Contents of index.js:

var i18n = require('messageformat-i18n');
i18n('./i18n/', './i18n-compiled/');

var en = require('./i18n-compiled/en');
var fr = require('./i18n-compiled/fr');

console.log(en('test.plural', {itemCount: 3}));
console.log(fr('test.plural', {itemCount: 0}));

Console output after running node index.js:

> node index.js
You have 3 items.
Vous n'avez pas des objects.

Directory structure after running node index.js:

./
    i18n/
        en/
            test.yaml
        fr/
            test.yaml
    i18n-compiled/
        en.js
        fr.js
    index.js

I hope the example helped you figure out how to use this module. For more information, check out the documentation for MessageFormat.js, which this module uses under the hood to parse the internationalisations.
