outputStructure

The outputStructure defines how modules are structured in the output.

• message-modules - Each module is a message. This is the default.
• locale-modules - Each module is a language.

message-modules

Messages have their own module which eases tree-shaking for bundlers.

 - outdir/
  - messages/
+   - blue_elephant_tree/
+     - index.js
+     - en.js
+     - fr.js
+   - sky_phone_bottle/
+     - index.js
+     - en.js
+     - fr.js
   - ...
  - messages.js
  - runtime.js 

locale-modules

Messages are bundled in a per locale module. Bundlers sometimes struggle tree-shaking this structure.

 - outdir/
  - messages/
+   - de.js
+   - en.js
+   - fr.js
   - ...
  - messages.js
  - runtime.js
