React Integration: useIntlayer Hook Documentation

This section provides detailed guidance on using the useIntlayer hook within React applications, allowing for efficient content localization.

Importing useIntlayer in React

The useIntlayer hook can be integrated into React applications by importing it based on the context:

• Client Component:

  javascript

  import { useIntlayer } from "react-intlayer"; // Used in client-side React components
  

• Server Component:

  javascript

  import { useIntlayer } from "react-intlayer/server"; // Used in server-side React components
  

Parameters

The hook accepts two parameters:

1. key: The dictionary key to retrieve localized content.
2. locale (optional): The desired locale. Defaults to the context's locale if not specified.

Content Declaration

All dictionary keys must be declared within content declaration files to enhance type safety and avoid errors. You can find the setup instructions here.

Example Usage in React

Demonstrating the useIntlayer hook within a React component:

// src/pages/[locale]/index.tsx

import { ClientComponentExample, ServerComponentExample } from "@components";
import { IntlayerProvider } from "react-intlayer";
import { useIntlayer, IntlayerServerProvider } from "react-intlayer/server";
import { type FC } from "react";
import { Locales } from "intlayer";

const App: FC<{ locale: Locales }> = ({ locale }) => {
  const content = useIntlayer("homepage", locale);

  return (
    <>
      <p>{content.introduction}</p>
      <IntlayerProvider locale={locale}>
        <ClientComponentExample />
      </IntlayerProvider>
      <IntlayerServerProvider locale={locale}>
        <ServerComponentExample />
      </IntlayerServerProvider>
    </>
  );
};

// src/components/ClientComponentExample.tsx

import { useIntlayer } from "react-intlayer";

const ClientComponentExample = () => {
  const content = useIntlayer("client-component");

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{content.title}</h1>
      <p>{content.description}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

// src/components/ServerComponentExample.tsx

import { useIntlayer } from "react-intlayer/server";

const ServerComponentExample = () => {
  const content = useIntlayer("server-component");

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{content.title}</h1>
      <p>{content.description}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

Handling Attributes

When localizing attributes, access the content values appropriately:

<button title={content.buttonTitle.value}>{content.buttonText}</button>
