fast_localization

Fast localization solution for flutter apps using Dart's Map. (no context needed for every single localization).

Getting Started

Add the following to your dependencies in pubspec.yaml

fast_localization: <last_version>

Examples

Minimal (Out of the box fast_localization MaterialApp)

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:fast_localization/fast_localization.dart';

void main() async {
  final en = {
    "title": "Demo",
    "welcome": "Hello World!",
  };

  final ar = {
    "title": "عرض",
    "welcome": "أهلاً بالعالم!",
  };

  final locales = {
    Locale('en'): en,
    Locale('ar'): ar,
  };

  await Localization.load(locales);

  runApp(LocalizationApp(
    title: () => Localization.translate('title'),
    home: () => HomeScreen(),
  ));
}

class HomeScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      ...
    );
  }
}

When to use:

When you want the home and title of MaterialApp only.

MaterialApp(title: 'App Name', home: HomeScreen());

Full example:

Check out example/fast_localization.dart

Flexible

You need to install flutter_localizations

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart';
import 'package:fast_localization/fast_localization.dart';

void main() async {
  final en = {
    "title": "Demo",
    "welcome": "Hello World!",
  };

  final ar = {
    "title": "عرض",
    "welcome": "أهلاً بالعالم!",
  };

  final locales = {
    Locale('en'): en,
    Locale('ar'): ar,
  };

  await Localization.load(locales);

  runApp(LocalizationApp(
    child: (context) => MyApp(),
  ));
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      ...
    );
  }
}

When to use:

When you want to use own MaterialApp, CupertinoApp, or WidgetsApp.

Full example:

Check out example/flexible.dart

Using LocalizationApp(...)

Minimal

Argument	Type	Example	Required
title	Function => String	() => t('title')	Yes
home	Function => Widget	() => HomeScreen()	Yes
theme	ThemeData	ThemeData.dark()	No

Flexible

Argument	Type	Example	Required
child	Function(BuildContext) => Widget	(context) => MyApp()	Yes

You need to use either Minimal or Flexible

Using Localization

Functions

Function	Parameters	Returns
Localization.load(...)	(Map<Locale, Map<String, dynamic>> languages)	Future
Localization.changeLocale(...)	(Locale locale, [BuildContext context])	Future
Localization.translate(...)	(String key, [Map<String, String> params])	String
Localization.t(...) (Alias)	(String key, [Map<String, String> params])	String

Fields

Field	Type	Description
Localization.locale	Locale	Get current locale
Localization.supportedLocales	List < Locale >	Get supported locales
Localization.languageCountry	String	Get current locale to string, e.g. 'en_US'

There is a global alias for Localization.translate(key, params) which is t(key, params)!

Localization Declarations

Flat

final en = {
  "title": "Demo",
  "welcome": "Hello World!",
};

Usage:

Localization.translate('welcome');

Localization.t('welcome');

t('welcome');

Nested

final en = {
  "app": {
    "name": "Demo",
    "description": "A demo app",
  },
};

Usage:

Localization.translate('app.name');

Localization.t('app.name');

t('app.name');

With Parameters

final en = {
  "info": {
    "name": "My name is {{name}}",
  },
};

Usage:

Localization.translate('info.name', {"name": "Hasan"});

Localization.t('info.name', {"name": "Hasan"});

t('info.name', {"name": "Hasan"});

TODO

• Locale fallback
• Parameters support
• Nested localizations
• Auto save/load local
• Language code only support Locale('en')
• Language and country code support Locale('en', 'US')
• Add tests
