Laravel Localisation Package

Version Downloads Scrutinizer Code Quality StyleCI License: MIT

Localisation: C3P0 for Laravel. Take a look at contributing.md to see a to do list.

Installation

Via Composer run the following:

# Install the package.
$ composer require pwweb/localisation

# Publish config, migration, languages and controllers.
# Note: Individual publishing tags are available, see chapter Customizing.
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="PWWEB\Localisation\LocalisationServiceProvider"

# Run migrations
$ php artisan migrate

Pre-requisites

The package assumes a standard Laravel installation if the bundled default contollers for the entities are to be used. The bundled controllers extend from App\Http\Controllers\Controller. If other, custom base controllers are used as part of the installation, refer to Customizing.

Configuration

Customizing

The package provides the following tags for publishing individual components for customizing:

Tag Description
pwweb.localisation.config Publish the configuration files to e.g. adjust database table names.
pwweb.localisation.migrations Publish the migration file(s) to make alterations to the database tables.
pwweb.localisation.language Publish the language files to make adjustments to the translation strings.
pwweb.localisation.views Publish the view files to make adjustments to the overall structure of the views.

Default and Fallback Language

It is recommended to change your app.php to use both the ISO-639-1 ISO Language Code as well as the ISO-3166 ISO Country Code. This can be achieved by changing the following two variables:

<?php

return [
    ...
    'locale' => 'en-GB',
    'fallback_locale' => 'en-GB',
    ...
];

Usage

Addresses

The package provides a trait HasAddresses which can be used to allow models to be associated with addresses.

<?php

namespace Path\To;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use PWWEB\Localisation\Traits\HasAddresses;

class MyModel extends Model
{
    use HasAddresses;
}

Language Switcher

The localisation package provides a language switcher that can easily be added to blade templates as follows (note: the <div> is exemplary):

...
<div class="anyContainer">
    {{ Localisation::languageSelector() }}
</div>
...

GraphQL

The package provides a graphql.schema file for use within your parent project. This can be included in your primary schema file as follows:

#import ../vendor/pwweb/localisation/graphql/schema.graphql

Note: don't forget to update the vendor path should yours be in a different location, relative to your primary schema file.
