Use React-Intl API outside React component

formatMessage.js

import { IntlProvider } from 'react-intl';

const language = 'en';
// Usually messages is declared in another file.
const messages = {
  greeting: 'Hello'
}
export const mesg = defineMessages({
  greeting: {
    id: 'greeting',
    defaultMessage: 'Whats up'
  }
};

const { intl } = new IntlProvider({ locale: language, messages: messages }, {}).getChildContext();
intl.formatMessage(mesg.greeting); // "Hello"
intl.formatNumber(1000); // "1,000"

With the new update to react-intl, this no longer works. Anyone have an update?

Hello, I found this createIntl method but I can't understand how to make it work in a Non React file.

Would anyone have a hint on how to implement it ?

Ok, found out. When they write :

// Call imperatively
intl.formatNumber(20)

// Pass it to IntlProvider
{foo}

It means you can do one of them, both, but they are separate ways of using it. It's more : the first one OR the other.
