Usage

i18nProProvider & i18nProContext

i18nProProvider is a React component that provides the i18nPro instance to the rest of the application using the React Context API. It should be placed at the root of the component tree to ensure that all components have access to the i18nPro functionalities.

i18nProContext is the React Context object that holds the i18nPro instance. It is used by the useI18nPro hook to access the i18nPro instance.

i18nProProvider Props

• initialSetup: The initial setup object for the i18nPro instance. This object should contain the following properties:
  • locale: The default locale to use.
  • path: The url to get translations or public path to the file containing the translation files. If not provided, you have to provide the messages object.
  • messages: An object containing the translation messages for the default locale. If not provided, you have to provide the path.

Example

import React from 'react';
import { i18nProProvider } from '@marchintosh94/i18n-pro-react';

const initialSetup = {
    locale: 'en',
    path: 'http://localhost:3000/locales/en.json',
};

ReactDOM.render(
    <i18nProProvider initialSetup={initialSetup}>
        <App />
    </i18nProProvider>,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

Using the useI18nProContext context hook

import React from 'react'
import { useI18nProContext } from '@marchintosh94/i18n-pro-react'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { locale, t, switchLoadLanguage } = useI18nProContext()

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{t('hello')}</p>
      <button onClick={() => switchLoadLanguage('fr', { hello: 'Bonjour' })}>
        Switch to French
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

useI18nPro

useI18nPro is a custom React hook that provides functionalities for internationalization (i18n).

Return Object

The hook returns an object with the following properties:

• locale: The current locale.
• t: A function to translate a given key into the current locale.
• switchLoadLanguage: A function to change the current language and load the new translations.
• updateExisitngLocale: A function to update the current locale if it's available in the i18nPro library.

t(value: string, ...args): string

Translates a given key into the current locale.

Parameters

• value: The key to translate.
• ...args: The arguments to pass to the i18nPro.t function.

Return Value

The translated string.

switchLoadLanguage(...args): Promise<string>

Changes the current language and loads the new translations.

Parameters

• ...args: The arguments to pass to the i18nPro.changeLanguage function.

Return Value

A promise that resolves to the updated locale.

updateExisitngLocale(locale: string): string

Updates the current locale if it's available in the i18nPro library.

Parameters

• locale: The locale to set.

Return Value

The updated locale, or an empty string if the locale was not updated.

withI18nPro Higher-Order Component (Work in progress)

withI18nPro is a higher-order component (HOC) that enhances a component with i18nPro functionality. It uses the useI18nPro hook to provide internationalization (i18n) capabilities to the wrapped component.

Parameters

• WrappedComponent: The component to be wrapped. This component will receive all the props of the original component, along with the additional props provided by the useI18nPro hook.

Return Value

The HOC returns a new component that renders the WrappedComponent with the additional i18nPro props. The returned component accepts all the props of the WrappedComponent, except for the props provided by the useI18nPro hook.
