# Intlayer Solid JS

> Integrates Intlayer internationalization with SolidJS components. Use when the user asks to "setup SolidJS i18n", create a new translated component, use the "useIntlayer" hook in Solid, or configure providers.

# Intlayer Solid Usage

## Core Philosophy

Intlayer promotes **Component-Level Content Declaration**. Instead of a massive global translation file, content is declared in `*.content.ts` files adjacent to the Solid components that use them.

## Workflow

To create a translated component, you need two files:

1.  **Declaration:** A content file (e.g., `myComponent.content.ts`) defining the dictionary.
2.  **Implementation:** A Solid component (e.g., `MyComponent.tsx`) using the `useIntlayer` hook.

### Declare Content

Create a content file using `t()` for translations.
**File:** `src/components/MyComponent/myComponent.content.ts`

```typescript
import { t, type Dictionary } from "intlayer";

const content = {
  // The 'key' must be unique and matches what you pass to useIntlayer()
  key: "my-component",
  content: {
    text: t({
      en: "Welcome",
      fr: "Bienvenue",
      es: "Hola",
    }),
  },
} satisfies Dictionary;

export default content;
```

## Setup

- [Vite and Solid](references/environment_vite-and-solid.md)

## useIntlayer Hook

> [!IMPORTANT]
> In Solid, `useIntlayer` returns an **accessor** function (e.g., `content()`). You must call this function to access the reactive content.

```tsx
import { useIntlayer } from "solid-intlayer";

const MyComponent = () => {
  const content = useIntlayer("my-component");

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>
        {/* Return content */}
        {content().text}
      </h1>
      {/* Return string (.value) */}
      <img src={content().text.value} alt={content().text.value} />
    </div>
  );
};
```
