Use when the user asks to "setup SolidJS i18n", create a new translated component, use the "useIntlayer" hook in Solid, or configure providers. metadata: author: Intlayer url: https://intlayer.org license: Apache-2.0 mcp-server: "@intlayer/mcp" category: productivity tags: [i18n, solid, vite] documentation: https://intlayer.org/doc support: contact@intlayer.org
Intlayer Solid Usage
Core Philosophy
Intlayer promotes Component-Level Content Declaration. Instead of a massive global translation file, content is declared in *.content.ts files adjacent to the Solid components that use them.
Workflow
To create a translated component, you need two files:
- Declaration: A content file (e.g.,
myComponent.content.ts) defining the dictionary. - Implementation: A Solid component (e.g.,
MyComponent.tsx) using theuseIntlayerhook.
Declare Content
Create a content file using t() for translations.
File: src/components/MyComponent/myComponent.content.ts
import { t, type Dictionary } from "intlayer";
const content = {
// The 'key' must be unique and matches what you pass to useIntlayer()
key: "my-component",
content: {
text: t({
en: "Welcome",
fr: "Bienvenue",
es: "Hola",
}),
},
} satisfies Dictionary;
export default content;
Setup
useIntlayer Hook
[!IMPORTANT] In Solid,
useIntlayerreturns an accessor function (e.g.,content()). You must call this function to access the reactive content.
import { useIntlayer } from "solid-intlayer";
const MyComponent = () => {
const content = useIntlayer("my-component");
return (
<div>
<h1>
{/* Return content */}
{content().text}
</h1>
{/* Return string (.value) */}
<img src={content().text.value} alt={content().text.value} />
</div>
);
};
