This package provides an artisan command to cache the parsed data as a php-file, pretty much the same was as routes and configs can be cached. This gives a performance boost since no JSON-parsing has to be done and the opcache can be used. The actual performance boost depends on the size of the translation file and the disk speed, see below. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require krisell/laravel-translation-json-cache ``` The package is auto-registered. Usage ----- [](#usage) To cache all translation JSON-files (in resources/lang), run the following artisan command: ``` php artisan translation-json:cache ``` If your json-files change, you need to run the command again for the changes to take effect. You may also clear the cached files using the following command ``` php artisan translation-json:clear ``` Run `translation-json:cache` during deployment in the same way you run `route:cache` and `config:cache`. The cached files are stored in the `bootstrap/cache` directory and are named `translation-{$locale}.php`. Performance boost ----------------- [](#performance-boost) On a Macbook Pro 2018 (2.6 GHz i7), using Laravel Valet, and having a JSON translation file of 1500 strings (real strings of varying length), the first call to `__("A")` during a request takes about `1.2 ms`. Enabling this package and the same call takes `0.08 ms`, i.e. the actual performance boost is in the order of `1 ms`, which is substantial considering that a simple full request could be as fast as `10 ms`. I have been using this solution in production for a while (1500 strings for each language) and I have to say the performance boost is not really noticable there (comparing CPU graphs, which of course depends on a lot of other changes as well). The difference may be smaller since our server setup uses docker and an all in-memory disk. Please feel free to contribute with additional measurements under other circumstances or with other sizes of the JSON files. License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT). Please see [License File](LICENSE.md) for more information. Future work ----------- [](#future-work) I realize the JSON-option may not be the preferred one, and that most people already use php-files for storing their translation data hierachically. In that case, a similar approach could still possibly save time on parsing and traversal, but this is outside the scope of this package. Feel free to investigate this idéa further in a new package! ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 66% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
