Multilingual routes and language switcher for laravel 5

Installation
============

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install extension is via composer. Check the composer.json for this extension's requirements and dependencies.

To install, either run

```
$ php composer.phar require igorianru/laravel-language "*"
```

or add

```
"igorianru/laravel-language": "*"
```

to the require section of your composer.json.

Configuration
=============

[](#configuration)

After installing the Socialite library, register the igorianru\\language\\LanguageServiceProvider in your `config/app.php` configuration file:

```
'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...
    igorianru\language\LanguageServiceProvider::class,
],
```

Also, add the Language facade to the aliases array in your app configuration file:

```
'Language' => igorianru\language\LanguageFacade::class,
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Use `Language::getLocale()` method to add language prefix to your routes:

```
Route::group(['prefix' => Language::getLocale()], function () {
    Route::get('/home', function () {
        return view('frontend.index');
    })->name('home');
});
```

Use `Language::renderDropdownList()` in your view-file to generate language dropdown list (note a exclamation marks):

```
{!! Language::renderDropdownList() !!}
```

This method takes 'locales' array which specified in you `app.config` file. It assumes that each 'locale' item key is a language 'code' and value is a 'visible\_name'. You can control language item label content via `Language::renderDropdownList()` $label\_template value:

```
{!! Language::renderDropdownList('{visible_name} ({code})') !!}
```

Label will look like this: `'English (en)'`You can add additional items to any 'locale' item value and render that value in `Language::renderDropdownList()`. For example, if you added 'description' and your `app.config` looks something like this:

```
'locales' => [
    'en' => [
        'visible_name' => 'English',
        'description' => 'Some simple text'
    ],
    'ru' => 'Русский',
]
```

You can render 'description' item:

```
{!! Language::renderDropdownList('{visible_name} ({code}) {description}') !!}
```

Label will look like this: `'English (en) Some simple text'`

Customization
=============

[](#customization)

You can customize html of language dropdown list. Simply run `php ./artisan vendor:publish --tag=language` and edit `dropdown.blade.php` template in your `resources/views/vendor/language` directory.
