Usage in background/isolate

[kuhnroyal]

I didn't find a way to access the translations without a Widget tree, for example in a background isolate. All the initialization is happening in the EasyLocalization class and everything is private.

Is there a way to achieve something like this or is such support planned?

@kuhnroyal What is the problem of transferring ready-made translated data to isolate?

[kuhnroyal]

I am generating a PDF in a background isolate. The app might not be running so I can no access the EasyLocalization/Translations.

[Overman775]

@kuhnroyal you can pass context to isolate and work with translations

[kuhnroyal]

That is my problem, I don't have a context.

[Overman775]

@kuhnroyal you try past context in constructor? This is just an assumption, I did not work with isolates..

[kuhnroyal]

The BuildContext is only available when the app is actually running. In a background service there is no BuildContext. I need to get the Localization.instance and it needs to be set beforehand but this only happens in the EasyLocalization widget.

If the src/localization.dart and src/translation.dart files are to be exported. Then I can manually use an AssetLoader to set the instance.

@kuhnroyal you can import them. Since they aren't public, they don't show up in Autocomplete/Quick Fix from the IDE, but you can type the import by hand:

import 'package:easy_localization/src/localization.dart';
import 'package:easy_localization/src/translations.dart';

and use classes from those files.

If you wrote, can you share it on your github account?

Did you manage to do that? I have the exact same problem, typically happens for background notifications, where BuildContext is not available.

I tried it works. Thanks.
