local-data folder NOT in i18next-icu 2.0.3

[psxpa3]

Hello,
I am working on upgrading i18next-icu from 1.4.2 -> 2.0.3, however, seems locale-data folder does not seem exist anymore.
If that is the case, may I know how to access locale files?. Like in this documentation - https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18next-icu/v/1.4.2, can see import fr from 'i18next-icu/locale-data/fr'; exist but this does not apply for v2.0.3. May I know how can we access locale files in this case. I could not find any example or any link that might be helpful for this.
Best,
Priya

the newest intl-messageformat uses Intl's built-in locales, so no more locale loading. This is the reason it was bumped to 2.0.0

@adrai is there a migration document for this?
For example:
import de from 'i18next-icu/locale-data/de' is still in the documents here: https://react.i18next.com/misc/using-with-icu-format#extend-the-i-18-n-instance-with-icu-module

How would I now do this?

@cellog can you help?

Thank you for raising this concern. I spent one entire day in figuring out this. The documentation is very confusing. My question again:- I am upgrading from 1.4.2 to the latest version of i18next-icu package. On the 1.4.2 version documentation can see the `import de from 'i18next-icu/locale-data/de' to fetch the local files. However, on upgrade to 2+ versions, the `locale-data` folder does not exist anymore, and hence my existing test-cases are failing. Could you point us out the documentation/sample example as to how accommodate this change in the code for this update?

I just updated the react-icu example: i18next/react-i18next@c5068a1
=> https://github.com/i18next/react-i18next/tree/master/example/react-icu

Yes, the locale-data folder is expected to not exist anymore, because the newest intl-messageformat uses Intl's built-in locales, so this is not needed anymore.
So if you want to use i18next-icu v2 make sure you update your intl-messageformat dependeny
