I've looked through the docs on the website but there are no examples how to use the google translation api with a react project. Does anyone know how to integrate this so I can just make a simple translation call to the API? Thanks
I did this with nodeJs, after reading your question I made a req via my localhost, hopefully this will help a little.
NodeJs index.js
route.post('/', (req, res) => {
var q = req.body.q;
console.log(q);
var options = { method: 'POST',
url: 'https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2',
form:
{ key: process.env.TRANSLATE,
q: q,
target: 'en' } };
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
console.log(body);
res.send(body);
});
})
ReactJS App.js
class App extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
value: '',
translated: '...'
}
this.translate=this.translate.bind(this);
}
translate(){
axios.post('http://localhost:9000/translate',{q:this.state.value})
.then(data => {
this.setState({translated: data.data.data.translations[0].translatedText})
console.log(data.data.data.translations[0].translatedText)
}).catch(err => {
console.log('error')
})
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<input
value={this.state.value}
onChange={(e)=>this.setState({value: e.target.value})}
type="text"/>
<button onClick={this.translate}>Submit</button>
<h1>{this.state.translated}</h1>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
