Laravel set Lang
================

[](#laravel-set-lang)

Infos
=====

[](#infos)

This package is only compatible with Laravel 5.1+ This package has two purposes :

- Setting by **default** the language to the client browser language. Fallback language is english
- Providing routes and a service provider to set the user's language choice in a **cookie** and retrieve it on load

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

- Go to you Laravel project folder in your favorite terminal
- Execute : `composer require bastienbot/laravel-set-lang dev-master`
- Add the following line to the `config/app.php` :

```
'providers' => [
        Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
        Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastServiceProvider::class,
        Illuminate\Bus\BusServiceProvider::class,
        ...
        ...
        ...
        Bastienbot\LaravelSetLang\LangServiceProvider::class,

```

- Now you just need to create the links in HTML in your view(s), the anchors being : `/lang/{lang}`. `{lang}` should be a string, ex : `en`, `fr`, etc...
