how to use intl flutter without context?

I'm trying to use the intl plugin to get more translations of my app, but it always needs a context. In files without context where I simply have to assign a value to the variable what should I do?

For example I would like to do something like this::

String yes = "${AppLocalizations.of(context)!.yes}"
Solution

  • As other answers suggest you can put your variable inside build, however, if you don't want to do that then you can define a Navigator Key and get the current context from it anywhere in your code.

    Define Navigator Key:

    final GlobalKey<NavigatorState> navigatorKey = GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();

    Attach it to your MaterialApp:

    MaterialApp(
        navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
        ...
      ),

    Get current context from navigatorKey:

    String yes =  "${AppLocalizations.of(navigatorKey.currentContext!)!.yes}
