Introduction ------------ [](#introduction) Starting with Laravel docs: > Translation strings may be defined within JSON files that are placed within the lang directory. When taking this approach, **each language supported by your application would have a corresponding JSON file** within this directory. This approach is recommended for applications that have a large number of translatable strings. [Read more...](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/localization#using-translation-strings-as-keys) Intuitively, many developers wonder why isn't it possible to have **each language supported by their application have multiple corresponding JSON files**. Multiple JSON files allows grouping strings by topic, and keeping the files small and clear. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the package via composer: ``` composer require elaborate-code/laravel-json-tongue ``` ### Requirements [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or higher. Usage ----- [](#usage) File structure example: [![example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elaborate-code/php-json-tongue/main/illustration.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elaborate-code/php-json-tongue/main/illustration.png) > The JSON files can co-exist with the PHP files without any conflicts! ### The merge command [](#the-merge-command) This command loads all the JSON files from `/` folders within the `/lang` folder and merge them per **locale** in new JSON files. ``` php artisan json-tongue:merge ``` Options: OptionDescription`-F|--force`Removes JSON files that already exist in the root of the `lang` folder without asking> JSON files that already exist in the root of the `lang` folder, can be old JSON files previously generated by the command, or files that you have created manually and populated manually. > > ⚠️ In the second case be careful before instructing the command to remove existing JSON files! #### Example [](#example) Before merging : ``` lang ┣ 📂es ┃ ┣ 📜animals.json ┃ ┣ 📜greetings.json ┃ ┗ 📜jobs.json ┗ 📂fr ┣ 📜animals.json ┣ 📜greetings.json ┗ 📜jobs.json ``` After merging: ``` lang ┣ 📂es ┃ ┣ 📜animals.json ┃ ┣ 📜greetings.json ┃ ┗ 📜jobs.json ┣ 📂fr ┃ ┣ 📜animals.json ┃ ┣ 📜greetings.json ┃ ┗ 📜jobs.json ┣ 📜es.json ⭐ Usable by Laravel ┗ 📜fr.json ⭐ Usable by Laravel ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` ./vendor/bin/pest ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. Help needed to add a watch command that refreshes the output JSON files with new translations added on the locale folders.
