react-intl is a library that helps to set up internationalization for a react app. It has been migrated to formatjs monorepo. There are instructions on formatjs website about the setup for react apps: https://formatjs.io/docs/getting-started/installation. Nx is a monorepo tool. This blog shows how to set up for Nx react app.

The message declaration, we just need to use defineMessage, formatMessage or FormattedMessage: https://formatjs.io/docs/getting-started/message-declaration.

Message Extraction

However, for message extraction, we need to install @formatjs/cli and the command would be like:

# npm
npm run formatjs extract '{apps/<app-name>,libs/<library-name>}/src/**/*.{ts,tsx}' --out-file apps/<app-name>/src/translations/extracted-messages.json"# yarn
yarn formatjs extract '{apps/<app-name>,libs/<library-name>}/src/**/*.{ts,tsx}' --out-file apps/<app-name>/src/translations/extracted-messages.json"

In the above command, we…

React-i18next is internationalization framework for React. This blog is a step-by-step guide about adding react-118next to a React project, such as:

• How to config react-118next

What is a white-label app? According to Wikipedia:

A white-label product is a product or service produced by one company (the producer) that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they had made it.

To build a white-label app, it needs some customization, it is not just simply change the logo or font style. However, it also could not be infinitely customizable; otherwise, it is building 2 completely different apps.

This blog shows how to create a white-label react application. The goal of this white-label react app that satisfies the below requirements:

1. Can easily change the…

Unit testing is critical for development, no matter how small the app is. This article blog will go through how I wrote unit tests for an example app.

It’ll explain some of my unit-testing strategies for different parts of a React app:

• Services
• Presentational components
• Smart/container/connected components
• Redux files
• Hooks

Adding ESLint rules to sort imports statements and audit accessibility will ensure code consistency across the team and catch some errors early.

This blog shows how to:

• add ESLint rules
• add scripts in package.json
• add pre-commit hooks

It assumes that your project already has ESLint installed.

This is the GitHub project I got with these ESLint rules added: https://github.com/xiongemi/white-label-airline.

Sort Imports

Install

Even though ESLint has this sort-imports rule (https://eslint.org/docs/rules/sort-imports); however, --fix will not reorder automatically for multiple lines.

However, we could use library eslint-plugin-import that allows --fix. To install:

# npm
npm install eslint-plugin-import --save-dev# yarn
yarn add eslint-plugin-import --dev

Add Rules

Background: NG-ZORRO is an Angular UI library that is based on the Ant Design System used by Alibaba. I have heard about this library so many times, but I have never used it in the past.

I am a developer in Toronto right now and I mostly use Angular Material. I think NG-ZORRO is definitely popular in China. I always want to try it out so I have created a simple project using this library. This blog describes my developer experience using NG-ZORRO for the first time.
