intlayerProxy (intlayerMiddleware) Documentation

The intlayerProxy (intlayerMiddleware for nextjs < 16) function is a Next.js middleware that handles locale-based routing and redirects. It automatically detects the user's preferred locale and redirects them to the appropriate localized path if necessary.

Usage

Description

The middleware performs the following tasks:

1. Locale Detection: It checks the URL path, cookies, and Accept-Language header to determine the user's locale.
2. Redirection: If the URL does not contain a locale prefix and the configuration requires one (or based on the user's preferences), it redirects to the localized URL.
3. Cookie Management: It can store the detected locale in a cookie for future requests.

Parameters

The function takes the standard Next.js NextRequest as a parameter when used directly, or it can be exported as shown above.

Configuration

To configure the middleware, you can set up the routing option in the intlayer.config.ts file. See configuration for more details.
