# react-native-default-locale

Very simple react-native device locale detector on iOS, Android and Web platforms.

I'm confused about several standards of locale formats. `en_US` and `en-US` is equal for humans but not for string validator.
So this lib just get active locale from device and split it into `language` and `country`. Both can be `null`.

- Android: get `RN.NativeModules.I18nManager.localeIdentifier`
- iOS: get `RN.NativeModules.SettingsManager.settings.AppleLocale`
- iOS 13: get `RN.NativeModules.SettingsManager.settings.AppleLanguages[0]` (see [here](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/26540#issuecomment-535720033))
- Web: get `window.navigator.languages[0] || window.navigator.language`

## Expo projects

[`expo-localization`](https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/localization/) works perfect. So you don't need to install `react-native-default-locale`.

## Installation

```bash
$ npm i react-native-default-locale --save
```

## Usage

```js
import locale from 'react-native-default-locale';
...
const language = locale.language; // en
const country = locale.country; // US
```
or simple
```js
import { language, country } from 'react-native-default-locale';
```
