format-message-generate-id">

Generate a message id from the default message pattern

A small collection of helper functions for use in format-message, to generate a message id based on the default message pattern.

Quick Examples

npm install format-message-generate-id --save

var formatMessage = require('format-message');
formatMessage.setup({
  generateId: require('format-message-generate-id/underscored_crc32')
});

import formatMessage from 'format-message'
import generate from 'format-message-generate-id'

formatMessage.setup({
  generateId: generate.normalized
})

API

literal(pattern)

Simply returns the pattern passed in.

normalized(pattern)

Normalizes insignificant whitespace within ICU placeholder syntax. This requires parsing and pretty-printing the message pattern, and an invalid message will cause an error to be thrown.

underscored(pattern)

After normalizing the message pattern, a slug is generated with underscores replacing symbols and whitespace.

underscored_crc32(pattern)

In addition to generating a slug, a crc32 checksum is calculated from the normalized pattern and appended to the result.
