How to achieve runtime data loading according to user's input?

[riajain0412]

So, If I want to avoid data bundle and instead want the data file to get loaded as per the user's input. Suppose we have a segmenter code and user inputs German string so I want runtime data loading of german only files. How to achieve this in ICU4X?
I explored icu_provider_adapters but unable to get that how to use this in above stated scenario.

Make a new data provider for each locale, and then cache it somewhere.

There are a lot of ways to do this: it really depends on the architecture of your application. ICU4X is flexible in letting you choose how you want to do things.

You should use a forking provider and load in your additional postcard files at runtime when a new locale is requested.

There should be a tutorial for this. I'll convert this into an issue to track that.

Okay, what exactly is postcard file? Can we also use blob instead of postcard?

[sffc]

"postcard file" == "data blob"

Issue to track a tutorial for this: #2970

Okay, Thank you so much. Let me know once your tutorial is ready.
