text-provider v1.1.3

Text provider is a library to place all the string constants of an application in a single place and use them inside the components in a memory friendly way.

It provides two components:

1. TextProvider
2. FormattedMessage

Install

npm i text-provider

Usage

1. Import the string constants required for the particular presentational component:

const sampleText = require("src/nls/sample-text.json");

2. Use the TextProvider to make it available for all the components:

<TextProvider globalText={sampleText} >
  <MyPresentationalComponent />
</TextProvider>

3. Use it inside the presentational component:

<FormattedMessage id="Random Id"/>

const randomId = "Random Id";
const values = {
  "valueToBeInjected": "Random Value"
};

<FormattedMessage id={randomId} values={values}/>

Works like a format string also. Example JSON:

{
  "Random Id": "<b>Random Text Returns</b> {valueToBeInjected} for each text)"
}

Then ${valueToBeInjected} gets replaced with the value specified in values.

Make sure that a string by the same id exists in the JSON file.
