format-message boundProperty about ember-intl HOT 5 CLOSED

@al3x-edge in the example, boundProperty should have the value of the message, which is:

boundProperty === `You have {numPhotos, plural,
    =0 {no photos.}
    =1 {one photo.}
    other {# photos.}}`

The other option is to use the lookup helper intl-get, which will simply try to find the message value by key, which is the recommended way.

@caridy Thanks for the answer -- Just as a follow up -- Is there a way to get the value of the message in a controller assuming it's injected?

Is there a way to get the value of the message in a controller assuming it's injected?

You want to resolve a translation key to a message from a computed property on your controller?

Based on your initial question, I'm unsure if you're dealing with a string literal or a translation key from your computed property, so I've included examples for both:

// index fontroller
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
    dependentKey: false,

    actions: {
        toggle: function () {
            this.toggleProperty('dependentKey');
        }
    },

    literalString: Ember.computed('dependentKey', function () {
        var dep = this.get('dependentKey');
        return dep ? 'yes' : 'no';
    }),

    lookupString: Ember.computed('dependentKey', function () {
        var dep = this.get('dependentKey');
        return dep ? 'messages.foo' : 'messages.bar';
    })
});

<button {{action 'toggle'}}>Toggle</button>

<div>
  Computed string literal:
  {{format-message literalString}}
</div>
<div>
  Computed translation key:
  {{format-message (intl-get lookupString)}}
</div>

@al3x-edge your last question might also be related to #89

Let me know

from ember-intl.

Thanks for the reference to #89 -- When asking the question, that is what I was looking for once the boundProperty didn't work. I'll keep this as reference.

Originally tried the second approach with setting a lookupString but was getting errors for some reason. Recently updated all dependencies though -- not sure if something took or I just did it right the second time around -- and everything is fine.

Thanks for the help (@jasonmit / @caridy ). Greatly appreciated.
