React Lang Selecta

⚠ Warning! ⚠ This lib is satirical, inspired by my personal experiences dealing with i18n and with front-end code.

Language selector component with random flag emojies.

You just give it a list of language codes and it gives you a select element with each language as an option along with the flag of the language.

How to use

Like this:

<label>
    Select a language please:
    <LangSelecta langs={['es', 'zh', 'en', 'fr', 'ar']} />
</label>

Which should return something like this:

<label>
    Select a language please:
    <select>
        <option value="fr">🇨🇦 Francese</option>
        <option value="ar">🇱🇧 Arabe</option>
        <option value="es">🇵🇪 Espaniol</option>
        <option value="en">🇨🇦 Anglese</option>
        <option value="zh">🇲🇴 Chinese</option>
    </select>
</label>

You could also control the component, style it and use more props. Check out the storybook for more examples.

Features included

• Not knowing the difference between a language and a locale.
• Language names are all written in the international language so you don't get confused with foreign fonts.
• Random language flags, ensuring that all Nations are treated equally... as long as they're recognized by the ~~USA~~ Unicode Consortium.
• Leverages the power of popular dependencies such as left-pad to avoid reinventing the wheel.
• Tests mocked component that calls a mocked hook to ensure that empty div equals empty div snapshot.
• Every file is called index to turn your code editor into a fun maze for the entire family to enjoy.

Frequently Unasked Questions

1. Where did you get the data about the locales and the regions from?

The data comes from the Unicode CLDR v42, specifically through the Python Babel library.

2. The data is wrong and I'm offended!

Fix it upstream in the Unicode CLDR so that ~~I don't have to deal with it~~ the entire World can benefit from your contribution.
