Migrate from i18n-js to Intlayer

Transitioning from the i18n-js library to Intlayer is a highly optimized migration designed to offload large translations configurations into Intlayer's structured file resolution system.

What to do

Execute the following setup command in your repository:

npx intlayer init

With intlayer.config.ts prepared, you can add Intlayer's alias to your bundler configuration so that any imports of i18n-js target the compat package @intlayer/i18n-js.

What it does under the hood

i18n-js accesses namespaces through expressions like i18n.t('scope.key', {name}) along with locale fallbacks and specific plural mappings.

Under the hood:

• Interpolation: The compat adapter easily parses %{name} mappings into your targeted runtime dictionary value.
• Pluralization: Replaces one/other subkeys and maps them against Intlayer's powerful underlying plural mechanisms (Intl.PluralRules), abstracting away manual mappings.
• Locales: Instead of loading monolithic language payloads at bootstrap, dictionaries are served up optimally based on the current context setup via the native Intlayer configuration.
