# Intl Format Cache

A memoizer factory for Intl format constructors.

[![npm Version][npm-badge]][npm]
![size](https://badgen.net/bundlephobia/minzip/intl-format-cache)

## Overview

This is a helper package used within [FormatJS suite][formatjs]. It provides a factory for creating memoizers of [`Intl`][intl] format constructors: [`Intl.NumberFormat`][intl-nf], [`Intl.DateTimeFormat`][intl-dtf], [`IntlMessageFormat`][intl-mf], and [`IntlRelativeFormat`][intl-rf].

Creating instances of these `Intl` formats is an expensive operation, and the APIs are designed such that developers should re-use format instances instead of always creating new ones. This package is simply to make it easier to create a cache of format instances of a particular type to aid in their reuse.

Under the hood, this package creates a cache key based on the arguments passed to the memoized constructor (it will even order the keys of the `options` argument) it uses `JSON.stringify()` to create the string key.

## Usage

This package works as an ES6 or Node.js module, in either case it has a single default export function; e.g.:

```js
// In an ES6 module.
import memoizeFormatConstructor from 'intl-format-cache';
```

```js
// In Node.
var memoizeFormatConstructor = require('intl-format-cache');
```

This default export is a factory function which can be passed an `Intl` format constructor and it will return a memoizer that will create or reuse an `Intl` format instance and return it.

```js
var getNumberFormat = memoizeFormatConstructor(Intl.NumberFormat);

var nf1 = getNumberFormat('en');
var nf2 = getNumberFormat('en');
var nf3 = getNumberFormat('fr');

console.log(nf1 === nf2); // => true
console.log(nf1 === nf3); // => false

console.log(nf1.format(1000)); // => "1,000"
console.log(nf3.format(1000)); // => "1 000"
```
