Usage
Loading From a Server
You can easily fetch string tables from your server using the loadLocale
function and dynamic imports.
The format is expected to be produced by the MessageFormat compiler.
const localize = await ; ;
Compiling in the Client
You can compile ICU messages in the client directly with MessageFormat#compile
.
;; async { const localize = await ;};
Specifying Default Locale
You can specify the default locale to load using defaultLocale
. If you don't supply this, navigator.language
is used.
const localize = await ;
Changing the Locale
You can read the current locale at any time by calling getCurrentLocale()
, and you can set it by calling setCurrentLocale()
. The latter returns a promise that resolves once the locale is loaded.
const localize getCurrentLocale setCurrentLocale = await ; ; // 'en-AU'; // 'Hello' await ;; // 'こんにちは'
