duplicate-id

Why this is bad

Folders merge into a single catalog, so a repeated ID resolves to whichever folder is listed last and the message defined in the other one never reaches a screen.

How to fix it

Nest each folder's messages under a namespace of its own. IDs stay unique however many folders you add, and the namespace says where a message comes from.

Examples

Given a messages.path that lists two folders:

• app/messages (which already defines save)
• packages/ui/messages

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

{
  "save": "Save"
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

{
  "ui": {
    "save": "Save"
  }
}
