Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Builder()

icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::Builder ( UErrorCode & status )

Default constructor.

Returns a Builder with the default locale and with no data model or pattern set. Either setPattern() or setDataModel() has to be called before calling build().

Parameters

status Input/output error code.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

◆ ~Builder()

virtual icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::~Builder ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

Member Function Documentation

◆ build()

MessageFormatter icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::build ( UErrorCode & status ) const

Constructs a new immutable MessageFormatter using the pattern or data model that was previously set, and the locale (if it was previously set) or default locale (otherwise).

The builder object (this) can still be used after calling build().

Parameters

status Input/output error code. If neither the pattern nor the data model is set, set to failure code.

Returns: The new MessageFormatter object

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

◆ setDataModel()

Builder & icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::setDataModel ( MFDataModel && dataModel )

Sets a data model.

If a pattern was previously set, it is removed.

Parameters

dataModel Data model to format. Passed by move.

Returns: A reference to the builder.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

◆ setErrorHandlingBehavior()

Builder & icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::setErrorHandlingBehavior ( UMFErrorHandlingBehavior type )

Set the error handling behavior for this formatter.

"Strict" error behavior means that that formatting methods will set their UErrorCode arguments to signal MessageFormat data model, resolution, and runtime errors. Syntax errors are always signaled.

"Best effort" error behavior means that MessageFormat errors are suppressed: formatting methods will not set their UErrorCode arguments to signal MessageFormat data model, resolution, or runtime errors. Best-effort output will be returned. Syntax errors are always signaled. This is the default behavior.

Parameters

type	An enum with type UMFErrorHandlingBehavior; if type == `U_MF_STRICT`, then errors are handled strictly. If type == `U_MF_BEST_EFFORT`, then best-effort output is returned.

The default is to suppress all MessageFormat errors and return best-effort output.

Returns: A reference to the builder.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 76 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

◆ setFunctionRegistry()

Builder & icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::setFunctionRegistry ( const MFFunctionRegistry & functionRegistry )

Sets a custom function registry.

Parameters

functionRegistry Reference to the function registry to use. functionRegistry is not copied, and the caller must ensure its lifetime contains the lifetime of the MessageFormatter object built by this builder.

Returns: A reference to the builder.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

◆ setLocale()

Builder & icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::setLocale ( const Locale & locale )

Sets the locale to use for formatting.

Parameters

locale The desired locale.

Returns: A reference to the builder.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.

◆ setPattern()

Builder & icu::message2::MessageFormatter::Builder::setPattern	(	const UnicodeString &	pattern,
		UParseError &	parseError,
		UErrorCode &	status
	)

Sets the pattern (contents of the message) and parses it into a data model.

If a data model was previously set, it is removed.

Parameters

pattern	A string in MessageFormat 2.0 syntax.
parseError	Struct to receive information on the position of an error within the pattern.
status	Input/output error code. If the pattern cannot be parsed, set to failure code.

Returns: A reference to the builder.

Internal:: Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:: This API is for technology preview only.
