Best approach for managing strings in react native

Question

I am new in react native. I've been dealing with this big project, that contains too many strings that can be reused many places in the project. So I created a strings.js file , as in android's strings.xml, to store all reusable strings in one file like this,

export const SOME_STRING = 'Some value';
export const ANOTHER_STRING = 'Another value';
...

and imports whenever i needed.

So these are my questions...

1) Is this a good approach ?

2) Is there any alternative to this ?

Answer 1

You don't need to export each value. One better way I know is to export

const SOME_STRING = 'Some value';
const ANOTHER_STRING = 'Another value';

module.exports = {
 SOME_STRING:SOME_STRING,
 ANOTHER_STRING:ANOTHER_STRING
}

Or you may like to wrap all of this in 1 constant object

const APPLICATION_CONSTANTS = {
    SOME_STRING : 'Some string',
    ANOTHER_STRING : 'Another string'
}

export default APPLICATION_CONSTANTS;

Usage

import APPLICATION_CONSTANTS from './strings';

APPLICATION_CONSTANTS.SOME_STRING
