useLocale Hook Documentation

The useLocale hook allows you to manage the current locale in your Solid application. It provides access to the current locale (as an accessor), the default locale, available locales, and a function to update the locale.

Usage

import { useLocale } from "solid-intlayer";const LocaleSwitcher = () => {  const { locale, setLocale, availableLocales } = useLocale();  return (    <select value={locale()} onChange={(e) => setLocale(e.currentTarget.value)}>      {availableLocales.map((loc) => (        <option value={loc} selected={loc === locale()}>          {loc}        </option>      ))}    </select>  );};

Description

The hook returns an object with the following properties:

1. locale: A Solid accessor (() => string) returning the current locale.
2. defaultLocale: The default locale defined in your intlayer.config.ts.
3. availableLocales: An array of all locales supported by your application.
4. setLocale: A function to update the application's locale. It also handles persistence (cookies/local storage) if enabled.

Parameters

• props (optional):
  • onLocaleChange: A callback function called whenever the locale changes.
  • isCookieEnabled: Whether to persist the locale in a cookie.
