## Summary Upgrading intl packages from v2 to v6 ### Packages upgrade: - [x] Add @formatJS packages - [x] `react-intl` Upgraded - [x] `intl-messageformat` Upgraded - [x] `intl-format-cache` removed - [x] `intl-relativeformat` removed - [x] `intl-messageformat-parser` removed ### Todo list: - [x] Refactor HTML tags - [x] Refactor Upgrade tags - [x] Refactor `kbn-i18n` - [x] Refactor `kbn-i18n-react` - [x] Refactor `FormattedRelative` to `FormattedRelativeTime` - [x] Refactor polyfills - [x] Refactor IntlShape types - [x] Rewrite Providers - [x] Rewrite tests using i18n - [x] Removed current pseudolocale implementation (tracker: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/180244) - [x] Fix jest tests using rendered `Provider` - [x] Remove no longer valid i18n packages documentation (tracker: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/180259) Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/178968 Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/38642 ## Notes to code reviewers For team other than the core team, please review your plugins code changes by filtering files by codeowners. ### Test Snapshot updates Most of the changes are refactors of renamed functions and changed ICU syntax. The main updates are snapshot changes where `FormattedMessage` is now memoized so snapshots capturing the html tree needed to be updated to use `<Memo(MemoizedFormattedMessage)` instead of `<FormattedMessage` ### ICU now supports HTML tags: before: ``` <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="To buy a shoe, { link } and { cta }" values={{ link: ( <a class="external_link" target="_blank" href="https://www.shoe.com/"> visit our website </a> ), cta: <strong class="important">eat a shoe</strong>, }} /> ``` after: ``` <FormattedMessage defaultMessage="To buy a shoe, <a>visit our website</a> and <cta>eat a shoe</cta>" values={{ a: msg => ( <a class="external_link" target="_blank" href="https://www.shoe.com/"> {msg} </a> ), cta: msg => <strong class="important">{msg}</strong>, }} /> ``` ### Escape character to prevent ICU parsing changed from double slashes to single quotes: before: `\\{escaped\\}` after: `'{escaped}'` ### No need for Intl Shape the new packages under formatJS are written in typescript and come with types support out of the box so no need to set types when using i18n. Renamed `InjectedIntlProps` with `WrappedComponentProps`. Removed `prop-types` and `intlShape` in favor of `IntlShape`. ### FormattedRelative has been renamed to FormattedRelativeTime and its API has changed significantly. See [FormattedRelativeTime](https://formatjs.io/docs/react-intl/upgrade-guide-3x#formattedrelativetime) for more details. ### All tags specified must have corresponding values and will throw error if it's missing All tags are now parsed and expected to be formatted properly (all opened tags must be closed). To skip this check you can use the `ignoreTag: true` property ``` i18n.translate('xpack.apm.agentConfig.captureJmxMetrics.description', { defaultMessage: 'This is not an HTML tag <JMX object name pattern>' + ignoreTag: true, }), ``` **When do I use ignore tags?** If your message has HTML tags, it is preferred not to ignore the Tag to have some string verification that the html tags you are adding are properly formatted and closed. If it the text between brackets is not an HTML tag and it is just a fomat preference then using `ignoreTag` makes sense. --------- Co-authored-by: kibanamachine <42973632+kibanamachine@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Tiago Costa <tiago.costa@elastic.co> |

Kibana Plugin Generator
This package can be used to generate a Kibana plugin from the Kibana repo.
Setup
Before you can use this plugin generator you must setup your Kibana development environment. If you can successfully run yarn kbn bootstrap
then you are ready to generate plugins!
Compatibility
The plugin generator became a part of the Kibana project as of Kibana 6.3. If you are targeting versions before Kibana 6.3 then use the Kibana plugin sao template.
If you are targeting Kibana 6.3 or greater then checkout the corresponding Kibana branch and run the plugin generator.
Quick Start
To target the current development version of Kibana just use the default master
branch.
node scripts/generate_plugin --name my_plugin_name -y
# generates a plugin in `plugins/my_plugin_name`
To target 6.8, use the 6.8
branch.
git checkout 6.x
yarn kbn bootstrap # always bootstrap when switching branches
node scripts/generate_plugin --name my_plugin_name -y
# generates a plugin for Kibana 6.8 in `../kibana-extra/my_plugin_name`
The generate script supports a few flags; run it with the --help
flag to learn more.
node scripts/generate_plugin --help
Updating
Since the Plugin Generator is now a part of the Kibana repo, when you update your local checkout of the Kibana repository and bootstrap
everything should be up to date!
NOTE: These commands should be run from the Kibana repo, and
upstream
is our convention for the git remote that references https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git, unless you added this remote you might need to useorigin
.
git pull upstream master
yarn kbn bootstrap
Plugin Development Scripts
Generated plugins receive a handful of scripts that can be used during development. Those scripts are detailed in the README.md file in each newly generated plugin, and expose the scripts provided by the Kibana plugin helpers, but here is a quick reference in case you need it:
NOTE: The following scripts should be run from the generated plugin root folder.
-
yarn bootstrap
Install dependencies both on Kibana and in your plugin.
IMPORTANT: Use this script instead of
yarn
to install dependencies when switching branches, and re-run it whenever your dependencies change. -
yarn build
Build a distributable archive of your plugin.
-
yarn dev --watch
Builds and starts the watch mode of your ui browser side plugin so it can be picked up by Kibana in development.
To start kibana run the following command from Kibana root.
-
yarn start
Start kibana and, if you had previously run in another terminal
yarn dev --watch
at the root of your plugin, it will automatically include this plugin. You can pass any arguments that you would normally send tobin/kibana
yarn start --elasticsearch.hosts http://localhost:9220
For more information about any of these commands run yarn ${task} --help
. For a full list of tasks run yarn run
or take a look in the package.json
file.
