[ardani]

Hi @rmariuzzo ,
this is great package, very usefull, i try this for my project now.
i have a problem , how to include result generate lang.js to webpack?
i try using this code but error

import Lang from 'lang.js';
require('./localize');

error message Uncaught ReferenceError: Lang is not defined
any solution for me?
thanks

[rmariuzzo]

If you run this:

import Lang from 'lang.js';

console.log(Lang)

What does it print?

[ardani]

if use

import Lang from 'lang.js';
const lang = new Lang();
console.log(lang)

it work, but if i use import file message.js from generate php artisan lang:js and import it on file js error if compile using webpack show error Lang is not defined

[ardani]

for now i modified with add option in command --message-only and template only_messages.js like this
#41199f8

let me know if any better solution
thanks

@ardani this looks great! What do you think @vluzrmos @a-komarev @gpopoteur about providing the option for generating the messages without the lib integrated? I think that proposal is pragmatic.

@rmariuzzo I think this could be useful feature.

@a-komarev I also share the same feeling on this. However, I would suggest to use another parameter name such as:

# Include the lang.js library (by default).
php artisan lang:js --lib

# Do not include the lang.js library.
php artisan lang:js --no-lib

What do you think @a-komarev ?

@rmariuzzo Good one!

Hey @ardani! Could you create a PR to develop branch with your changes + my comments?

[ardani]

Ok @rmariuzzo
