Request Feature: Support prefix identifier for message about fluent.js HOT 6 OPEN

Also, may I ask why we wrap a whole parse inside the FluentResource class constructor? Can we use private method if we don't want it to get exposed?

from fluent.js.

But FluentBundle doesn't seems to support it.

The idea behind the bundle is that it can be composed of files from many sources.
In other words, a message with id foo can be provided by either file menus.ftl or common.ftl. Your request for prefixes would not work with that.

It may be useful for different models than we planned.

Intentional as well. You're not supposed to handle AST in runtime.

from fluent.js.

Can we add prefix on FluentResource?

new FluentResource('msg-id = a message ID', { namespace: 'prefix' })

Ok, cool.

FluentResource was written a long time ago, when private methods didn't exist in JS. Today, moving the parsing logic to a private method would probably make sense.

I think I can do that, if you don't mind.
