# Install the CLI
npm install -g @formatjs/cli

# Extract messages from source code into a JSON file
formatjs extract 'src/**/*.tsx' --out-file messages/en.json --id-interpolation-pattern '[sha512:contenthash:base64:6]'

# Or use explicit IDs (recommended):
formatjs extract 'src/**/*.tsx' --out-file messages/en.json

# Compile messages for production (optional, improves perf)
formatjs compile messages/en.json --out-file compiled/en.json
formatjs compile messages/de.json --out-file compiled/de.json

// ICU MessageFormat syntax — react-intl uses this natively
// English
{
  "cart.itemCount": "{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}} in your cart",
  "inbox.unread": "You have {count, plural, =0 {no unread messages} one {# unread message} other {# unread messages}}"
}

// Arabic — 6 plural forms
{
  "cart.itemCount": "{count, plural, zero {لا عناصر} one {عنصر واحد} two {عنصران} few {# عناصر} many {# عنصرًا} other {# عنصر}} في سلتك"
}

// Japanese — 1 form (other)
{
  "cart.itemCount": "カートに{count}個の商品があります"
}

// Gender-dependent messages using ICU select
{
  "user.greeting": "{gender, select, male {He} female {She} other {They}} liked your post.",
  "user.invitation": "{role, select, admin {You can manage all settings.} editor {You can edit content.} other {You can view content.}}"
}

// Usage:
<FormattedMessage
  id="user.greeting"
  values={{ gender: user.gender }}
/>
