Intlayer Svelte 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 Svelte 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 Svelte component (e.g.,
MyComponent.svelte) using the useIntlayer store.
1. 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 = {
key: "my-component",
content: {
text: t({
en: "Welcome",
fr: "Bienvenue",
es: "Hola",
}),
},
} satisfies Dictionary;
export default content;
Setup
useIntlayer Hook
In Svelte, useIntlayer returns a store. You must use the $ prefix to access its value.
<script>
import { useIntlayer } from "svelte-intlayer";
const content = useIntlayer("my-component");
</script>
<div>
<h1>
{/* Return content */}
{$content.text}
</h1>
{/* Return string (.value) */}
<div aria-label={$content.text.value}></div>
</div>
