Overview

The useDefaultLocale hook retrieves the application's default locale from the <GTProvider> context. This locale represents the fallback language for your app and is typically used when a user's preferred locale is unavailable.

See <GTProvider> for configuration. If no default locale is specified, it defaults to 'en-US'.

Reference

Returns

A string representing the application’s default locale, e.g. 'en-US'.

Examples

Basic usage

Retrieve the application’s default locale and display it in your component.

import { useDefaultLocale } from 'gt-react';

export default function DefaultLocale() {
    const defaultLocale = useDefaultLocale();

    return <p>Default locale: {defaultLocale}</p>; // Display the default locale
}

Notes

• The useDefaultLocale hook relies on the <GTProvider> to access the context. Ensure your app is wrapped with a provider at the root level.
