    react-native-intlayer Package

    The react-native-intlayer package provides the necessary tools to integrate Intlayer into React Native applications. It re-exports the full react-intlayer API (hooks and utilities) with a React Native-ready IntlayerProvider, plus the polyfills and Metro configuration required by React Native.

    In a React Native app, import everything from react-native-intlayer. You do not need to install or import react-intlayer directly.

    Installation

    bash
    npm install react-native-intlayer

    Exports

    Provider

    Component Description
    IntlayerProvider Provider component that wraps your application and provides the Intlayer context. Automatically applies the required polyfills.
    tsx
    import { IntlayerProvider } from "react-native-intlayer";

    Hooks and utilities

    These are re-exported from react-intlayer, so you can import them straight from react-native-intlayer:

    Export Description
    useIntlayer Access localized content for a dictionary key.
    useLocale Read and change the current locale.
    useDictionary, useDictionaryAsync, useDictionaryDynamic, useLoadDynamic Load dictionary content in various ways.
    useI18n i18next-compatible hook.
    t Inline translation helper.
    getIntlayer, getDictionary Imperative content getters.
    localeCookie, localeInStorage, setLocaleCookie, setLocaleInStorage, useLocaleCookie, useLocaleStorage Locale persistence helpers.
    tsx
    import { useIntlayer, useLocale, t } from "react-native-intlayer";

    Polyfill

    Function Description
    intlayerPolyfill Function that applies necessary polyfills for React Native to support Intlayer.
    tsx
    import { intlayerPolyfill } from "react-native-intlayer";
    The polyfill is applied automatically when you import IntlayerProvider. Call intlayerPolyfill manually only if you need the polyfills before the provider mounts.

    Formatters

    Number, date, and other Intl-based formatting hooks are available from the /format subpath:

    tsx
    import { useNumber, useDate } from "react-native-intlayer/format";

    Markdown and HTML rendering

    tsx
    import { MarkdownProvider } from "react-native-intlayer/markdown";import { HTMLProvider } from "react-native-intlayer/html";

    Metro Configuration

    The react-native-intlayer package provides Metro configuration utilities to ensure that Intlayer works correctly with React Native.

    Function Description
    configMetroIntlayer Asynchronous function that prepares Intlayer and merges the Metro configuration.
    configMetroIntlayerSync Synchronous function that merges the Metro configuration without preparing Intlayer resources.
    exclusionList Creates a RegExp pattern for Metro's blockList to exclude content files from the bundle.
    tsx
    import { configMetroIntlayer } from "react-native-intlayer/metro";
    usePathname
    lynx-intlayer
