Example

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.

CLDR pluralization rules: In some languages you have more then one and other. For example in ru there are the following plural rules: one, few, many and other. Check out the official CLDR documentation from unicode.org http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/27/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html for all languages.

Note: You could also write =0 { No comments yet }
