As Is

To Be

1

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	Plain text line

<h2 className="ui center aligned grey header">
	SlideWiki revolutionises ...
</h2>

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	Plain text line

<h2 className="ui center aligned grey header">
	<FormattedMessage 
		id='home.slogan'
		defaultMessage='SlideWiki revolutionises...'
	/>
</h2>

OR:

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	Plain text line (optional)

class Home extends React.Component {
    render() {
		...
		const messages = defineMessages({
            slogan:{
                id: 'home.slogan',
                defaultMessage: 'SlideWiki revolutionises...'
            }
        });
	
		return (
			...
			<FormattedMessage {...messages.slogan} />
			...
		)
	}
}

Note: the first way is recommended

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	A fragment with links

<p>
	If ... follow us on 
	<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/SlideWiki">Twitter</a> 
	or visit the 
	<a href="https://slidewiki.eu">SlideWiki project website</a>.
</p>

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	A fragment with links

<p>
	<FormattedMessage 
		id='home.welcome12'
		values={{
			link_1: <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/SlideWiki">Twitter</a>,
			link_2: <a href="https://slidewiki.eu">
                        <FormattedMessage
                             id="home.welcome12.1"
                             defaultMessage="SlideWiki project website"/>
                    </a>
		}}
		defaultMessage={'If ... follow us on {link_1} or visit the {link_2}.'}
	/>
</p>

Note: The text inside the first link ('Twitter') will not be translated, while the text inside the second link ('SlideWiki project website') will be translated

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	Text from component/tag property

<img 
	className="ui centered image" 
	src="/assets/images/logo_full.png"
	alt="SlideWiki beta logo"
/>

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	Text from component/tag property: Using a function

<FormattedMessage id="home.logo_alt" defaultMessage='SlideWiki beta logo'>
	{
		(alt) => <img 
					className="ui centered image" 
					src="/assets/images/logo_full.png" 
					alt={alt} 
			  	 />
	}
</FormattedMessage>

OR (as we probably will have this situation a lot):

Code Block

language	js
theme	Emacs
title	Text from component/tag property: Using a lower-level intl API

class Home extends React.Component {
    render() {
		...
		const messages = defineMessages({
    		logo_alt: {
            	id: 'home.logo_alt',
            	defaultMessage: 'SlideWiki beta logo',
        	}
    	});
	
		return (
			...
			<img 
				className="ui centered image"
				src="/assets/images/logo_full.png"
				alt={this.context.intl.formatMessage(messages.logo_alt)} 
			/>
			...
		)
	}
}

Home.contextTypes = {
    intl: React.PropTypes.object.isRequired
};


export default Home;

Note: The second way is recommended, however if there is only 1-2 cases in your component, the first way is better.

ComponentName.contextTypes = {
    intl: React.PropTypes.object.isRequired
};

And thanks, Soledad Valero :

Code Block

language	xml
theme	Emacs
title	swal in actions

constructor(){
    super(props);
    this.messages = defineMessages({
        swal_text:{
            id: 'componentName.swal_text',
            defaultMessage:'see '+ provider
        },
	}
	swal({
            title: 'blub',
            text: this.context.intl.formatMessage(
                  this.messages.swal_text),
            type: 'error',
            confirmButtonText: 'Confirm',
            confirmButtonClass: 'negative ui button',
            buttonsStyling: false
    }).then().catch();
 
 
ComponentName.contextTypes = {
    intl: React.PropTypes.object.isRequired
};

The two solutions above throwing an error: SyntaxError: [React Intl] Messages must be statically evaluate-able for extraction.

My solution:

Code Block

title	Solution for dynamic texts with parameters

let messages = defineMessages({
                swal_text:{
                    id: 'LoginModal.text.incompleteProviderData',
                    defaultMessage: 'The data from {provider} was incomplete. In case you want to use this provider, please add an e-mail address at the provider itself and try again at SlideWiki.'
                },
            });
            swal({
                title: this.context.intl.formatMessage({
                    id: 'LoginModal.title.error',
                    defaultMessage: 'Error',
                }),
                text: this.context.intl.formatMessage(messages.swal_text, {
                        provider: provider
                    }),
                type: 'error',
                confirmButtonText: this.context.intl.formatMessage({
                    id: 'LoginModal.button.confirm',
                    defaultMessage: 'Confirm',
                }),
                confirmButtonClass: 'negative ui button',
                buttonsStyling: false
            }).then().catch();
