target 'YourAwesomeProject' do
  # …
  pod 'RNLocalize', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-localize'
end

Android

1. Add the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-localize'
project(':react-native-localize').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-localize/android')

2. Add the implementation line to the dependencies in android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
  // ...
  implementation project(':react-native-localize')
}

3. Add the import and link the package in MainApplication.java:

import com.reactcommunity.rnlocalize.RNLocalizePackage; // <- add the RNLocalizePackage import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  // …

  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
    List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
    // …
    packages.add(new RNLocalizePackage());
    return packages;
  }

  // …
}

Web support

findBestAvailableLanguage()

Returns the best language tag possible and its reading direction (⚠️ it respects the user preferred languages list order, see explanations). Useful to pick the best translation available.

How to test your code

Because it's a native module, you might need to mock this package to run your tests flawlessly. Here is an example for Jest, adapt it to your needs :

// __mocks__/react-native-localize.js

const getLocales = () => [
  // you can choose / add the locales you want
  { countryCode: "US", languageTag: "en-US", languageCode: "en", isRTL: false },
  { countryCode: "FR", languageTag: "fr-FR", languageCode: "fr", isRTL: false },
];

// use a provided translation, or return undefined to test your fallback
const findBestAvailableLanguage = () => ({
  languageTag: "en-US",
  isRTL: false,
});

const getNumberFormatSettings = () => ({
  decimalSeparator: ".",
  groupingSeparator: ",",
});

const getCalendar = () => "gregorian"; // or "japanese", "buddhist"
const getCountry = () => "US"; // the country code you want
const getCurrencies = () => ["USD", "EUR"]; // can be empty array
const getTemperatureUnit = () => "celsius"; // or "fahrenheit"
const getTimeZone = () => "Europe/Paris"; // the timezone you want
const uses24HourClock = () => true;
const usesMetricSystem = () => true;

const addEventListener = jest.fn();
const removeEventListener = jest.fn();

export {
  findBestAvailableLanguage,
  getLocales,
  getNumberFormatSettings,
  getCalendar,
  getCountry,
  getCurrencies,
  getTemperatureUnit,
  getTimeZone,
  uses24HourClock,
  usesMetricSystem,
  addEventListener,
  removeEventListener,
};
