Message Format

Fluenti uses a subset of ICU MessageFormat for message strings.

Plain text

Hello World

Variables

Hello {name}, welcome to {place}!

Variables are replaced with values passed to t():

t('greeting', { name: 'Alice', place: 'Fluenti' })
// → "Hello Alice, welcome to Fluenti!"

Plurals

{count, plural, =0 {No items} one {# item} other {# items}}

The # symbol is replaced with the numeric value. CLDR plural categories are: zero, one, two, few, many, other.

Select

{gender, select, male {He} female {She} other {They}} liked your post.

Number formatting

Your balance is {amount, number, currency}

Date formatting

Last login: {date, date, short}

Escaping

Use single quotes to escape special characters:

'{' renders as a literal {
'{'name'}' renders as literal {name}
'' renders as a literal '

Nesting

Plurals and selects can be nested:

{count, plural,
  one {{gender, select, male {He has # item} other {She has # item}}}
  other {{gender, select, male {He has # items} other {She has # items}}}
}
