React (Vite) Localization
This project is a React-based application that facilitates language localization. It consists of several components that work together to allow users to switch the language of the application's interface and display content in the selected language. Here's a detailed description of its components and how they function together:
-
HelloTitle Component:
- This component is responsible for displaying the title "Hello" in different languages based on the user's selection.
- It uses the
Languages
object to retrieve the appropriate text using theExampleText
method, which returns an object containing localized strings. - The
selectedLang
prop determines which language's greeting to display. PropTypes
are used to ensure thatLanguages
provides the necessary method and thatselectedLang
is a string.
-
LanguageContext and LanguageProvider:
LanguageContext
is a React context that holds the current language state and a function to update it (handleLangChange
).LanguageProvider
is a component that wraps the application, providing the language state and updater function to all components within its tree via the context.- It accepts an
initialLanguage
prop to set the default language, which is "cz" if not specified. PropTypes
are used to ensure thatchildren
is a React node andinitialLanguage
is a string.
-
LocalizationComponent:
- This component renders buttons for each available language, allowing the user to switch between them.
- It uses the
LocalizationButtons
method from theLanguages
object to get the button data. - It maintains its own
activeId
state to highlight the currently active language button. - When a button is clicked, it calls
handleLangChange
with the new language'stextId
, and updates theactiveId
. PropTypes
validate thathandleLangChange
is a function.
-
Languages Object:
- It provides the data for localization through two methods:
LocalizationButtons
returns an array of objects for each language button, andExampleText
returns an object with localized strings for different languages.
- It provides the data for localization through two methods:
-
App Component:
- The main component of the application that uses the
LanguageContext
to access the current language and the function to update it. - It renders the
HelloTitle
component to display the greeting and theLocalizationComponent
to allow language switching. PropTypes
are used to ensure the correct types forLanguageContext
,Languages
,LocalizationComponent
, andHelloTitle
.
- The main component of the application that uses the
-
React Application Setup:
- The
ReactDOM.createRoot
method is used to initialize the app and render it into the DOM. - The entire application is wrapped in the
LanguageProvider
to make the language state and updater function available throughout the application. - The
App
component is passed the necessary props, including theLanguageContext
and components likeLocalization
andComponents
.
- The
In essence, this project is structured to provide a multilingual experience, where users can select their preferred language, and the application will respond by displaying content in that language. The use of context allows for easy state management across the application, and the use of prop types ensures that components receive the correct data.
