+ # Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
2
+
3
+ ## Our Pledge
4
+
5
+ We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
6
+ community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
7
+ size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
8
+ identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
9
+ nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
10
+ identity and orientation.
11
+
12
+ We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
13
+ diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
14
+
15
+ ## Our Standards
16
+
17
+ Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
18
+ community include:
19
+
20
+ * Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
21
+ * Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
22
+ * Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
23
+ * Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
24
+ and learning from the experience
25
+ * Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
26
+ community
27
+
28
+ Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
29
+
30
+ * The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
31
+ any kind
32
+ * Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
33
+ * Public or private harassment
34
+ * Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
35
+ without their explicit permission
36
+ * Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
37
+ professional setting
38
+
39
+ ## Enforcement Responsibilities
40
+
41
+ Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
42
+ acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
43
+ response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
44
+ or harmful.
45
+
46
+ Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
47
+ comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
48
+ not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
49
+ decisions when appropriate.
50
+
51
+ ## Scope
52
+
53
+ This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
54
+ an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
55
+ Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
56
+ posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
57
+ representative at an online or offline event.
58
+
59
+ ## Enforcement
60
+
61
+ Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
62
+ reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
63
+ [INSERT CONTACT METHOD].
64
+ All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
65
+
66
+ All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
67
+ reporter of any incident.
68
+
69
+ ## Enforcement Guidelines
70
+
71
+ Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
72
+ the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
73
+
74
+ ### 1. Correction
75
+
76
+ **Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
77
+ unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
78
+
79
+ **Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
80
+ clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
81
+ behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
82
+
83
+ ### 2. Warning
84
+
85
+ **Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
86
+ actions.
87
+
88
+ **Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
89
+ interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
90
+ those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
91
+ includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
92
+ like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
93
+ ban.
94
+
95
+ ### 3. Temporary Ban
96
+
97
+ **Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
98
+ sustained inappropriate behavior.
99
+
100
+ **Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
101
+ communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
102
+ private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
103
+ with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
104
+ Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
105
+
106
+ ### 4. Permanent Ban
107
+
108
+ **Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
109
+ standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
110
+ individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
111
+
112
+ **Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
113
+ community.

1
+ # I18n::MessageFormat
2
+
3
+ ICU Message Format support for the Ruby [i18n](https://github.com/ruby-i18n/i18n) gem. Pure Ruby parser, no native dependencies.
4
+
5
+ ## Installation
6
+
7
+ ```bash
8
+ bundle add i18n-message_format
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ ## Usage
12
+
13
+ ### Standalone
14
+
15
+ ```ruby
16
+ require "i18n/message_format"
17
+
18
+ I18n::MessageFormat.format(
19
+ "{name} has {count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}",
20
+ name: "Alice", count: 3
21
+ )
22
+ # => "Alice has 3 items"
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ### With I18n Backend
26
+
27
+ Store your Message Format strings in separate YAML files:
28
+
29
+ ```yaml
30
+ # config/locales/mf/en.yml
31
+ en:
32
+ greeting: "Hello {name}!"
33
+ items: "{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}"
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ Configure the backend:
37
+
38
+ ```ruby
39
+ I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Chain.new(
40
+ I18n::MessageFormat::Backend.new("config/locales/mf/*.yml"),
41
+ I18n::Backend::Simple.new
42
+ )
43
+
44
+ I18n.t("greeting", name: "Alice")
45
+ # => "Hello Alice!"
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ ### Supported Syntax
49
+
50
+ - Simple arguments: `{name}`
51
+ - Number format: `{count, number}`
52
+ - Date format: `{d, date, short}`
53
+ - Time format: `{t, time, short}`
54
+ - Plural: `{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}`
55
+ - Select: `{gender, select, male {He} female {She} other {They}}`
56
+ - Selectordinal: `{pos, selectordinal, one {#st} two {#nd} few {#rd} other {#th}}`
57
+ - Nested messages
58
+ - Escaped braces: `'{ '} ''`
59
+
60
+ ### Number, Date, and Time Formatting
61
+
62
+ Number, date, and time format arguments delegate to [`I18n.localize`](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/i18n/I18n/Backend/Base#localize-instance_method), so their output depends on the format definitions in your I18n backend.
63
+
64
+ - **Number** — `{count, number}` calls `I18n.localize` with the value and locale. The optional style (e.g. `{count, number, integer}`) is passed as the `:format` option.
65
+ - **Date** — `{d, date, short}` calls `I18n.localize` with `:format => :short`. The style maps directly to an I18n date format key. Common styles are `short`, `medium`, `long`, and `full`, but any key defined under `date.formats` in your locale file works.
66
+ - **Time** — `{t, time, short}` works the same way, looking up keys under `time.formats`.
67
+
68
+ For example, with these locale definitions:
69
+
70
+ ```yaml
71
+ en:
72
+ date:
73
+ formats:
74
+ short: "%b %-d"
75
+ long: "%B %-d, %Y"
76
+ time:
77
+ formats:
78
+ short: "%H:%M"
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ The pattern `"Updated on {d, date, short}"` with `d: Date.new(2026, 1, 15)` produces `"Updated on Jan 15"`.
82
+
83
+ ### Plural Rules
84
+
85
+ Plural rules are also delegated to the I18n backend. Any gem which supplies plural rules to I18n will work with `I18n::MessageFormat`, e.g. [`rails-i18n`](https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n).
86
+
87
+ ### Ordinal Rules
88
+
89
+ Install built-in ordinal rules for selectordinal support:
90
+
91
+ ```ruby
92
+ I18n::MessageFormat::OrdinalRules.install(:en)
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ ## Development
96
+
97
+ After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Run tests with `bundle exec rake test`.
98
+

1
+ # ICU Message Format for Ruby i18n — Design
2
+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+
5
+ `i18n-message_format` is a Ruby gem that adds ICU Message Format support to the
6
+ `i18n` gem. It provides a pure Ruby parser, a formatter integrated with existing
7
+ i18n infrastructure, and a chainable backend for seamless use alongside standard
8
+ translation files.
9
+
10
+ ## Architecture
11
+
12
+ ```
13
+ YAML files --> Backend (load + lookup) --> Parser (string -> AST) --> Formatter (AST + args -> string)
14
+ |
15
+ LRU Cache (pattern -> AST)
16
+ ```
17
+
18
+ Three layers:
19
+
20
+ 1. **Parser** — recursive descent parser, string to AST
21
+ 2. **Formatter** — AST walker, resolves arguments to produce output
22
+ 3. **Backend** — `I18n::Backend::Base` implementation for use with `I18n::Backend::Chain`
23
+
24
+ ## Parser
25
+
26
+ Pure Ruby recursive descent parser supporting the full ICU Message Format spec:
27
+
28
+ - Literal text
29
+ - Simple arguments: `{name}`
30
+ - Formatted arguments: `{count, number}`, `{date, date, short}`
31
+ - Plural: `{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}`
32
+ - Select: `{gender, select, male {He} female {She} other {They}}`
33
+ - Selectordinal: `{position, selectordinal, one {#st} two {#nd} few {#rd} other {#th}}`
34
+ - Nested messages (full recursive nesting)
35
+ - Escaped braces: `'{` `'}` `''`
36
+
37
+ ### AST Node Types
38
+
39
+ - `TextNode` — literal text
40
+ - `ArgumentNode` — simple argument reference
41
+ - `PluralNode` — plural selection
42
+ - `SelectNode` — value-based selection
43
+ - `SelectOrdinalNode` — ordinal plural selection
44
+ - `NumberFormatNode` — number formatting
45
+ - `DateFormatNode` — date formatting
46
+ - `TimeFormatNode` — time formatting
47
+
48
+ ## Formatter
49
+
50
+ Walks the AST and resolves each node:
51
+
52
+ - **TextNode** — returns literal string
53
+ - **ArgumentNode** — looks up named argument, calls `to_s`
54
+ - **PluralNode** — uses i18n gem's plural rules (`i18n.plural.rule`) to pick the
55
+ correct branch. Handles exact matches (`=0`, `=1`). Replaces `#` with the
56
+ numeric value.
57
+ - **SelectNode** — matches argument value against branches, falls back to `other`
58
+ - **SelectOrdinalNode** — uses ordinal plural rules (`i18n.ordinal.rule`
59
+ convention, see below)
60
+ - **NumberFormatNode** — formats via `I18n.l` / i18n number formatting
61
+ - **DateFormatNode / TimeFormatNode** — formats via `I18n.l(value, format: style)`
62
+
63
+ ## Plural Rules
64
+
65
+ ### Cardinal (plural)
66
+
67
+ Delegates to the i18n gem's existing pluralization infrastructure:
68
+
69
+ - Looks up `i18n.plural.rule` in locale data (returns a lambda: count -> category)
70
+ - Compatible with `rails-i18n` and other gems that ship pluralization rules
71
+ - Falls back to English rules (1 = `:one`, else `:other`) when no rule is found
72
+
73
+ ### Ordinal (selectordinal)
74
+
75
+ The i18n gem has no built-in ordinal convention. This gem defines one:
76
+
77
+ - Convention: `i18n.ordinal.rule` in locale data (same lambda pattern)
78
+ - Ships built-in ordinal rules for common locales (English, etc.)
79
+ - Users or other gems can register additional ordinal rules
80
+
81
+ ## Backend
82
+
83
+ `I18n::MessageFormat::Backend` implements `I18n::Backend::Base`.
84
+
85
+ ```ruby
86
+ I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Chain.new(
87
+ I18n::MessageFormat::Backend.new("config/locales/mf/*.yml"),
88
+ I18n::Backend::Simple.new
89
+ )
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ - Loads translations from separate, configurable file paths (glob patterns)
93
+ - All strings in those files are treated as Message Format patterns
94
+ - On `translate`: parses the pattern (or fetches from cache), formats with arguments
95
+ - Returns `nil` for missing keys so Chain falls through to the next backend
96
+ - Uses standard i18n YAML structure (`en.some.key`)
97
+
98
+ ## LRU Cache
99
+
100
+ - Keyed by raw pattern string
101
+ - Default capacity: 1000 entries (configurable)
102
+ - Thread-safe via `Mutex`
103
+ - Stores parsed AST nodes
104
+
105
+ ## Public API
106
+
107
+ ```ruby
108
+ # Standalone usage
109
+ I18n::MessageFormat.format(
110
+ "{name} has {count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}",
111
+ name: "Alice", count: 3
112
+ )
113
+ # => "Alice has 3 items"
114
+
115
+ # Backend integration
116
+ I18n.backend = I18n::Backend::Chain.new(
117
+ I18n::MessageFormat::Backend.new("config/locales/mf/*.yml"),
118
+ I18n::Backend::Simple.new
119
+ )
120
+ I18n.t("items.count", name: "Alice", count: 3)
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ ## Error Handling
124
+
125
+ - `I18n::MessageFormat::ParseError` — malformed patterns (includes line/column)
126
+ - `I18n::MessageFormat::MissingArgumentError` — required argument not provided
127
+ - Both inherit from `I18n::MessageFormat::Error`
128
+
129
+ ## Dependencies
130
+
131
+ - **Runtime**: `i18n` gem only
132
+ - **Development**: `minitest`, `rake`
133
+ - **Ruby**: >= 3.2.0
134
+
