react-native-locale-detector

Detects the locale of a user's phone. Based on react-native-i18n, but this just exports the device's locale. This isn't particularly useful on it's own and you'll probably want to use it with an i18n library like i18next.

Installation

npm install @flyskywhy/react-native-locale-detector --save

For RN < 0.60

react-native link

If got

you may need add below into YOUR_APP/android/build.gradle:

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {
        project ->
            if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
                android {
                    compileSdkVersion = rootProject.compileSdkVersion
                    buildToolsVersion = rootProject.buildToolsVersion
                }
            }
    }
}

Usage

// Import the locale.
import locale from '@flyskywhy/react-native-locale-detector'

// We could log it. Maybe it's en-US...
console.log(locale)

// Or if you're using a localization library.
yourLocalizationLibrary.setLocale(locale)
