No messages extracted outside of react

No messages get extracted when using:

import i18n from './utils/i18n'
import {t} from '@lingui/macro';

i18n._(t`hello`)

They get extracted when using it like:

i18n._("hello")

They also get extracted as expected when using a react component:

import {Trans} from '@lingui/react';

<Trans>Hello</Trans>

any ideas?

That’s great. How does it work with shared components libraries that contain catalogs?

In our case we have

• ui-1 - catalog-ui-1
• ui-2 - catalog-ui-2
• shared-components - catalog-shared-components

There are going to be different instances / catalogs. How do these get reconciled?

They get merged by locale internally, you have more information in lingui website on configuration section.

Tomorrow I’ll expand this a lit

I just tried changing my .linguirc to:

{
   "localeDir": "src/locales/",
   "srcPathDirs": ["src/"],
   "format": "po",
   "extractBabelOptions": {
      "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import", "macros"]
   }
}

Adding “macros” it now extracts the message with both <Trans/> from marcos, and i18n._(t`…`), but doesn’t translate it
