You can easily extend the detection with your own loaders aswell. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require cheecodes/language-detection ``` You should then publish the config ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) #### Globally [](#globally) If you want to use the Middleware globally, you can register it in `App\Http\Kernel` like this ``` protected $middleware = [ // ... DetectLanguage::class, // ... ]; ``` #### Aliasing [](#aliasing) To use an alias for this middleware, register it in your `$routeMiddleware` in the Kernel ``` protected $routeMiddleware = [ // ... 'language' => DetectLanguage::class, // ... ]; ``` #### Different stack of loaders [](#different-stack-of-loaders) The `DetectLanguage` Middleware accepts a parameter that determines the group of loaders to be used. Those groups can be defined in the config like this: ``` 'loaders' => [ // Default group 'default' => [ FromHeader::class, FromQueryParameter::class, FromSession::class, FromCookie::class, ], // custom group 'custom' => [ FromHeader::class, ] ], ``` The names can be chosen as you see fit. To use your custom loader stack, I firstly recommend you alias the middleware to something like `language`. You can then use it in your routes file like this: ``` Route::group('/admin', function() { // Your routes go here })->middleware('language:custom'); // Changing the loader stack to "custom" ``` #### Writing your own loader [](#writing-your-own-loader) Writing your own loader is straightforward. All you need to do is write a class that implements `CheeCodes\LanguageDetection\Loader\LoaderContract`. This interface only exposes one single method: ``` public function load(Request $request, array $config): ?string ``` All you need to do is return a language key if your loader matched, or `null` if it didn't. If you return a string and that string is in the allowed languages array, loader processing is stopped. If you return null, the next loader is called or the default language is used if no further loader is in the current stack. To register your custom loader, just add the FQDN to the loader stack: ``` 'loaders' => [ 'default' => [ // ... Acme\Loaders\MyCustomLoader::class, ] ]; ``` The loaders are resolved with Laravels IoC Container, so you can easily use constructor injection like you're used to. ### Testing [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
