Is there any way to access the current locale with React-Intl?

Question

I was wondering if there is any way to access what is the currently set locale with React-Intl?

Let's say I create this:

render() {
  return (
    <IntlProvider locale="en">
      <App>
    </IntlProvider>
  );
}

In App, I would like to do something like this, in order to access the locale that I passed to the IntlProvider

this.props.locale

Is there any way to do something like that?

Thanks.

New answer - using hooks (see below for original)

import { useIntl } from 'react-intl';

const MyComponent: FC = () => {
    const intl = useIntl()
    return <div>{`Current locale: ${intl.locale}`}</div>
}

export default MyComponent

You can get the current locale in any component of your App by simply accessing it from React Intl's "injection API":

import {injectIntl, intlShape} from 'react-intl';

const propTypes = {
  intl: intlShape.isRequired,
};

const MyComponent = ({intl}) => (
  <div>{`Current locale: ${intl.locale}`}</div>
);

MyComponent.propTypes = propTypes

export default injectIntl(MyComponent);
