typesafe translate?

[rainmanhhh]

key of t() is a string (eg.: t('foo.bar'))
I can get message functions by useI18n().locale.messages (eg.: foo.bar in which bar is a function)
Is it possible to translate like

const msgFunc = useI18n().locale.messages
msgFunc.foo.bar() // how to get context?

or

const msgFunc = useI18n().locale.messages
trans(msgFunc.foo.bar) // how to get context?

Thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately, We doesn’t allow to use directly Message functions in VueI18n 😞
It's designed to be used with the VueI18n runtime in mind.

I would like to know more about why you want to call and translate directly.
I'd like to know more about it for future reference, if you don't mind. 🙏

because I want make my app typesafe. t('foo.bar') is obviously not (no auto-completion in IDE and no compile error if I pass a wrong key)

Thank you for your reply!

You are right, vue-i18n still needs to be improved for typescript.
I’ll improve the typesafe (auto complition) in key parameter in the future.

I'll also improve around the type parameter.
