Phrasebook
A lightweight drop-in for react-i18next users looking to translate their projects. Currently in production on www.loveholidays.com.
Why phrasebook?
- Tree-shakeable
- Like for like interface with
react-i18next - Native ESM module
- Small bundle size (<1kb)
We leverage TFunction types in our site which are not exported properly from i18next without including the entire bundle. With this package you have all the types you need alongside a fully working set of functions that translate i18next files.
This package uses native ESM and does not provide a CommonJS export.
