Trans Component

To insert React elements into the translation message:

import { Trans, useTranslate } from "val-i18n-react";
import { I18n, I18nProvider } from "val-i18n";

const locales = {
  en: {
    author: "CRIMX",
    fruit: "apple",
    eat: "{{name}} eats {{fruit}}.",
  },
};

const i18n = new I18n("en", locales);

const MyComponent = () => {
  const t = useTranslate();

  return (
    <Trans message={t("eat")}>
      <strong data-t-slot="name">{t("author")}</strong>
      <i style={{ color: "red" }} data-t-slot="fruit">
        {t("fruit")}
      </i>
    </Trans>
  );
};

const App = () => {
  return (
    <I18nProvider i18n={i18n}>
      <MyComponent />
    </I18nProvider>
  );
};

↓Outputs:

<>
  <strong data-t-slot="name">CRIMX</strong> eats <i style={{ color: "red" }} data-t-slot="fruit">apple</i>.
<>

data-t-slot can be ignored if there is only one placeholder.

<Trans message="a{{b}}c">
  <h1>B</h1>
</Trans>

↓Outputs:

<>
  a<h1>B</h1>c
</>
