SWC Plugin

SWC is an extensible Rust-based platform for the next generation of fast developer tools.

If you're using SWC in your project, you can opt for the @lingui/swc-plugin. This plugin, designed for SWC, is a Rust version of LinguiJS Macro.

Installation​

Install @lingui/swc-plugin as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev @lingui/swc-plugin

Usage​

Add the following configuration to your .swcrc file:

.swcrc
{
  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/swcrc",
  "jsc": {
    "experimental": {
      "plugins": ["@lingui/swc-plugin", {

        // Optional
        // Unlike the JS version this option must be passed as object only.
        // Docs https://lingui.js.org/ref/conf.html#std-config-runtimeConfigModule
        // "runtimeModules": {
        //   "i18n": ["@lingui/core", "i18n"],
        //   "trans": ["@lingui/react", "Trans"]
        // }
      }]
    }
  }
}

If you use NextJS, add the following to your next.config.js:

next.config.js
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  experimental: {
    swcPlugins: [
      ['@lingui/swc-plugin', {
       // the same options as in .swcrc
      }],
    ],
  },
};

module.exports = nextConfig;
