duplicate-id

Why this is bad

Folders merge into a single catalog, so a repeated ID resolves to whichever folder is listed last and the message defined in the other one never reaches a screen.

Examples

Given a messages.path that lists two folders:

• app/messages (which already defines save)
• packages/ui/messages

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

{
  "save": "Save"
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

{
  "ui": {
    "save": "Save"
  }
}

How to fix it

There are two ways to keep IDs unique across folders:

1. Nest each folder’s messages under a namespace of its own, as in the correct example above.
2. Let each file act as a namespace, via a {namespace} placeholder in messages.path:

import {defineConfig} from '@eloqnt/cli';

export default defineConfig({
  messages: {
    path: './locales/{locale}/{namespace}'
    // ...
  }
});

This way, save in ./locales/en/ui.json is read as ui.save.
