How to use

The FluentBundle constructor provides the core functionality of formatting translations from FTL files.

import { FluentBundle, FluentResource } from "@fluent/bundle";

let resource = new FluentResource(`
-brand-name = Foo 3000
welcome = Welcome, {$name}, to {-brand-name}!
`);

let bundle = new FluentBundle("en-US");
let errors = bundle.addResource(resource);
if (errors.length) {
  // Syntax errors are per-message and don't break the whole resource
}

let welcome = bundle.getMessage("welcome");
if (welcome.value) {
  bundle.formatPattern(welcome.value, { name: "Anna" });
  // → "Welcome, Anna, to Foo 3000!"
}
