How to get the current locale in Flutter using the GetX package?

Question

The example https://pub.dev/packages/get/example only shows setting the locale from a string manually:

void main() {
  runApp(GetMaterialApp(
    ...
    locale: Locale('pt', 'BR'),
    ...

If I don't use "locale: Locale ('pt', 'BR')", then code like Text("title".tr) don't work. So, I need setup current locale to "locale" property, but how get current locale?

Answer 1

if BuildContext is available, we can get current locale this way

Locale myLocale = Localizations.localeOf(context);

according to the documentation https://flutter.dev/docs/development/accessibility-and-localization/internationalization

another option is to use the official intl library

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

String locale = Intl.getCurrentLocale(); // returns language tag, such as en_US

Answer 2

To get Device Current Locale:

import 'package:get/get.dart';

return GetMaterialApp(
     locale: Get.deviceLocale,   //returns Locale('<language code>', '<country code>')
);

To get the App Current Locale:

import 'package:get/get.dart';

return GetMaterialApp(
     locale: Get.locale,   //returns Locale('<language code>', '<country code>')
);
