@fluent/react
@fluent/react
provides React bindings for Project Fluent, a localization
framework designed to unleash the expressive power of the natural language.
Installation
@fluent/react
can be used both on the client-side and the server-side. You
can install it from the npm registry or use it as a standalone script (as the
FluentReact
global).
npm install @fluent/react
Integrating with React apps
@fluent/react
takes advantage of React's Components system and the virtual
DOM. Translations are exposed to components via the provider pattern.
There are many approaches to fetching and storing translations. To allow
maximum flexibility, @fluent/react
expects the developer to write a little
bit of a setup code related to language negotiation and translation fetching.
It makes @fluent/react
unopinionated and suitable for many different
scenarios. You will likely also need to install a few other packages:
@fluent/bundle
, @fluent/langneg
and intl-pluralrules
.
Consult the wiki for documentation on how to set up and use @fluent/react
.
Compatibility
For legacy browsers, the compat
build has been transpiled using Babel's env
preset:
import "@fluent/react/compat";
In some cases, using the compat
build may be needed even if you target
modern browsers. For instance, the create-react-app
boilerplate uses
UglifyJS to minify its files. As of November 2017,
UglifyJS doesn't support some of the new JavaScript syntax features. By using
the compat
build of all @fluent
packages you can ensure that the
minifiction works properly.
