README

In a vanilla Laravel or Lumen installation you can use language files to localize your app. This package will enable the translations to be stored in the database. You can still use all the features of the trans function you know and love.

trans('messages.welcome', ['name' => 'dayle']);

You can even mix using language files and the database. If a translation is present in both a file and the database, the database version will be returned.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sawirricardo/laravel-translation-loader

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-translation-loader-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-translation-loader-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

'translation_loaders' => [
    \Sawirricardo\LaravelTranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders\Db::class,
],

'model' => \Sawirricardo\LaravelTranslationLoader\Models\Translation::class,

'translation_manager' => \Sawirricardo\LaravelTranslationLoader\TranslationLoaderManager::class,

'locals' => [
    'en' => 'English',
    'ar' => 'Arabic',
    'pt_BR' => 'Português (Brasil)',
    'my' => 'Burmese',
    'id' => 'Bahasa Indonesia',
],

'paths' => [
    app_path(),
    resource_path('views'),
    base_path('vendor'),
],

'excluded_paths' => [
    //
],

Usage

use Sawirricardo\LaravelTranslationLoader\Models\Translation;

Translation::create([
   'group' => 'validation',
   'key' => 'required',
   'text' => ['en' => 'This is a required field', 'nl' => 'Dit is een verplicht veld'],
]);

You can fetch the translation with Laravel's default trans function:

trans('validation.required'); // returns 'This is a required field'

app()->setLocale('nl');

trans('validation.required'); // returns 'Dit is een verplicht veld'

Creating your own translation providers

This package ships with a translation provider than can fetch translations from the database. If you're storing your translations in a yaml-file, a csv-file, or ... you can easily extend this package by creating your own translation provider.

A translation provider can be any class that implements the Sawirricardo\LaravelTranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders\TranslationLoader-interface. It contains only one method:

namespace Sawirricardo\LaravelTranslationLoader\TranslationLoaders;

interface TranslationLoader { public function loadTranslations($locale, $group); } Translation providers can be registered in the translation_loaders key of the config file.
