Internationalize React apps declaratively. This library provides React components and an API to format dates, numbers, and string messages, including pluralization.
React Intl is part of FormatJS, the docs can be found on the website:
- Display numbers with separators.
- Display dates and times correctly.
- Display dates relative to "now".
- Pluralize labels in strings.
- Support for 150+ languages.
- Runs in the browser and Node.js.
- Built on standards.
There are many examples on the website, but here's a hello world one:
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {IntlProvider, FormattedNumber, FormattedPlural} from 'react-intl';
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
name : 'Eric',
unreadCount: 1000,
};
}
render() {
const {name, unreadCount} = this.state;
return (
<p>
Hello <b>{name}</b>, you have {' '}
<FormattedNumber value={unreadCount} /> {' '}
<FormattedPlural value={unreadCount}
one="message"
other="messages"
/>.
</p>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<IntlProvider locale="en">
<App />
</IntlProvider>,
document.getElementById('container')
);
This example would render: "Hello Eric, you have 1,000 messages." into the container element on the page.
