Installation

composer require nobox/lazy-strings-laravel

Laravel versions

Here's a rundown on the version(s) of lazy strings that you can use on your current installed laravel version.

Register Lazy Strings

Register Lazy Strings service provider in the providers array located in config/app.php

'providers' => [
    Nobox\LazyStrings\LazyStringsServiceProvider::class,
]

Publish configuration and assets

This package uses some basic configuration and pretty CSS and JS from bootstrap.

php artisan vendor:publish

Configuration

Configuration is pretty simple, each configuration item is described below. More details on how these work can be found in the Lazy Strings repo here.

• csv-url Add the Google spreadsheet published url.

'csv-url' => 'http://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V_cHt5Fe4x9XwVepvlXB39sqKXD3xs_QbM-NppkrE4A/export?format=csv'

• target-folder This folder will be in your storage folder and it just saves a backup of your strings in JSON format. By default is lazy-strings.

'target-folder' => 'lazy-strings'

• strings-route This is the route that will be used to generate the strings. Visit http://my-app.com/lazy/build-copy and your strings will be updated. By default is build-copy. The route will always be under the lazy prefix.

'strings-route' => 'build-copy'

• nested Whether or not you wish your generated strings array to be nested.

'nested' => true,

• sheets Here you'll specify all the sheets in your Google doc.

'sheets' => [
    'en' => [0, 1626663029],
    'es' => 1329731586,
    'pt' => 1443604037
]

How it works

Lazy Strings uses an id => value convention to access the copy, it generates an lazy.php file inside the language locale folder. You can see an example doc here: https://docs.google.com/a/nobox.com/spreadsheets/d/1V_cHt5Fe4x9XwVepvlXB39sqKXD3xs_QbM-NppkrE4A/edit#gid=0.

In this doc you can access the first row in your view like this:

trans('lazy.foo') // returns "Hello!"

Or in your controller like this:

Lang::get('lazy.foo'); // returns "Hello!"

Generate your strings

Each time you need to generate your strings just visit the specified strings-route in your configuration. The route will always be under the lazy prefix. For example: http://my-app.com/lazy/build-copy

You can also use the included artisan command php artisan lazy:deploy. It will do exactly the same. This is perfect when you're deploying your application with Forge or Envoyer.
