This library allows to get the informations of the locale from the system, the HTTP client or something else.

[Learn more](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Locale).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

With [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require [`hoa/locale`](https://packagist.org/packages/hoa/locale):

```
$ composer require hoa/locale '~2.0'
```

For more installation procedures, please read [the Source page](https://hoa-project.net/Source.html).

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Before running the test suites, the development dependencies must be installed:

```
$ composer install
```

Then, to run all the test suites:

```
$ vendor/bin/hoa test:run
```

For more information, please read the [contributor guide](https://hoa-project.net/Literature/Contributor/Guide.html).

Quick usage
-----------

[](#quick-usage)

We propose a quick overview to get the locale and related informations about an HTTP client. Next, we will see the other localizers.

### Locale from an HTTP client

[](#locale-from-an-http-client)

To get the locale from an HTTP client, we will use the `Hoa\Locale\Localizer\Http` localizer. Then, we will print the result of the following interesting methods:

- `getLanguage` to get the language,
- `getScript` to get the script,
- `getRegion` to get the region,
- `getVariants` to get variants of the locale.

Thus:

```
$locale = new Hoa\Locale(new Hoa\Locale\Localizer\Http());

echo
    'language : ', $locale->getLanguage(), "\n",
    'script   : ', $locale->getScript(), "\n",
    'region   : ', $locale->getRegion(), "\n",
    'variant  : ', implode(', ', $locale->getVariants()), "\n";
```

For example, with the `Accept-Language` HTTP header set to `zh-Hant-TW-xy-ab-123`, we will have:

```
language : zh
script   : Hant
region   : TW
variant  : xy, ab, 123

```

### Other localizers

[](#other-localizers)

So far, we also have the `Hoa\Locale\Localizer\System` to get the locale informations from the system and `Hoa\Locale\Localizer\Coerce` to get them from an arbitrary locale representation.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The [hack book of `Hoa\Locale`](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Locale)contains detailed information about how to use this library and how it works.

To generate the documentation locally, execute the following commands:

```
$ composer require --dev hoa/devtools
$ vendor/bin/hoa devtools:documentation --open
```

More documentation can be found on the project's website: [hoa-project.net](https://hoa-project.net/).

Getting help
------------

[](#getting-help)

There are mainly two ways to get help:

- On the [`#hoaproject`](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#hoaproject)IRC channel,
- On the forum at [users.hoa-project.net](https://users.hoa-project.net).
