React-to-use i18n configuration and components for React Applications.

NOTE

The purpose of this package is to provide a simple and standard solution for the largest amount of projects.

It is mainly based on react-i18next. Please consider to support their work.

Usage

Import dependency

npm i @4react/localize

Init i18n

Initialize i18n with initI18n, optionally specifying languages and namespaces.

import { initI18n } from '@4react/localize'

initI18n(
  ['en', 'it', 'es'], // languages
  ['common', 'profile'] // namespaces
)

Provide localization

Use the Localization component to provide translations over the application.

import { Localization } from '@4react/localize'

const App = () => (
  <Localization>
    // content
  </Localization>
)

Translate labels

Use the Localized component to translate labels.

import { Localized } from '@4react/localize'

const CustomComponent = () => (
  <Localized label="awesome" />
)

...and use any kind of filler (also components)

const CustomComponent = () => (
  <Localized
    label="my-fillable-label"
    fillers={{
      name: 'Matteo',
      age: 28,
      component: <MyCustomFiller />
    }}
  />
)

// Hi, I'm {{name}} and I'm {{age}} years old. Look at this {{component}}!

Translations are rendered as simple text with no additional style or structure.
