Monorepo

If you’re using lingui within a monorepo, you need to pass some extra options to lingui babel. { rootMode: "upward" } is required to lingui find the correct babel config

{
 "catalogs": [{
   "path": "<rootDir>/locale/{locale}/messages",
   "include": ["<rootDir>"],
   "exclude": ["**/node_modules/**"]
 }],
 "extractBabelOptions": {
   "rootMode": "upward",
 },
 "format": "po",
 "locales": ["en"],
}

In summary, we’ll have:

• 1x babel.config.js within root

• 1x lingui.config.js within root

• And n lingui.config.js per package which extends/overrides from root
