Cannot import default instance of I18n

The documentation states :

lingui-i18n still exports the default instance of I18n class, this remains unchanged: import i18n from 'lingui-i18n'

But if I try to import it in my tests I get the warning:

"export 'default' (imported as 'i18n') was not found in 'lingui-i18n'

Same if I try to import the instance in the application itself.

Importing setupI18n works as expected.

import { setupI18n } from 'lingui-i18n';

const i18n = setupI18n();

Closing, unfortunately this is common caveat when mixing named and default exports.

I’ve added named i18n export and recommend use it to avoid confusion. Default export will be removed in 2.0.

// ES
import { i18n } from 'lingui-i18n'

// CommonJS
const i18n = require('lingui-i18n').i18n

I was thinking about dropping this default export completely, so we get rid of one global object, but that’s another topic. I’ll check if there’s nothing we can do about mixing default and named exports.
