Changing the LocalizationHelper.strings does not show the custom strings

[Ofer-Gal]

I added

LocalizationHelper.strings = {
  noResultsFound: "Not Found",
  _components: {
    "people-picker": {
      inputPlaceholderText: 'Search for Author',
      maxSelectionsPlaceHolder:'ok' 
    }
  }
};

Still shows the default values.

String name Default value
inputPlaceholderText Search for a name
maxSelectionsPlaceHolder Max contacts added

I use react in a SPFx webpart and MGT 4.2.1

            <PeoplePicker      type={'person'}  selectionMode={'single'} showMax={1}/>

Please help

Hi, where did you put those lines of code, in wich file?

Try to put the code provided by you on the main .ts webpart file not .tsx
I have placed mine just after the last import {...} from "...."; line and out of the default webpart class.

Give it a try.

Thanks for the answer.
I moved it to the ...WebPart.ts after the last import {...} from "...."; line
I did not understand "and out of the default webpart class." did you mean the main TSX file? then I did. (not using classes)
Anyway it did not make a difference. Still shows the defaults.
Also,
I question the usability of having just one central setting.
For the "inputPlaceholderText" property I can use the controls "placeholder" property so each PeoplePicker will have its own message.
But for the "maxSelectionsPlaceHolder" There is no control property to specify but a developer may want a specific message for each PeoplePicker. Say "No more users" Vs "no more Guests"

Maybe I missed something?

I use 4.2.1 version now and it works 😂

I use 4.2.1 version now and it works 😂

@Ofer-Gal does this mean using the v4.2.1 fixed this?

Yes even if you have a different LocalizationHelper.strings for each component (*.tsx)
