The problem you want to solve.

Localization messages are divided into files. I'm trying to set up a plugin to take the filename as the parent of the messages in the file. For example, we have files common.json validation.json etc. In app we use key common.messageKey and validation.messageKey. But as far as I understand, there is no setting for this in plugin.

Your take on the correct solution to problem.

localeDir: {
    pattern: '...',
    localePattern: /^.+\/(?<locale>[A-Za-z]+)\/.+\.(json5?|ya?ml)$/,
    localeKey: 'path',
    useFilenameAsGroupKey: true // For example
}

Additional context A very strange situation when I pass localePattern as a regular expression, for some reason it is not applied and the default regular expression is used, if i pass a string, then everything is OK

Has there been any further action on this? This bug makes this rule a non-starter for us as we use it exactly as outlined above.

The existence for 'path' localeKey indicates that this arrangement of i18n files is supported - and the vue-i18n plugin supports this too. So it's strange that it's not a use-case that this rule supports.

Would love to get this merged, let me know if there's anything else that's needed here or any more work required.
