Slim 3 Multilingual
===================

[](#slim-3-multilingual)

Extension to the [Slim PHP micro-framework](http://www.slimframework.com/) version 3 to enable language based routing, i.e. i18n and l10n.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

- [Slim/Slim](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim) (v3)

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

[](#installation)

By terminal:

```
composer require luism-s/multilingualslim
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The `$container` is used as an interface between the Middleware and the Routes. The multilinguage middleware injects the following variables into the `$container`: `default_language`, `available_languages` and `language`. The first two are variables set by the developer, and the last is set by the middleware itself and indicates the requested language.

```
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

require '../vendor/autoload.php';

$default_language = 'pt';
$available_languages = ['pt', 'en'];

$app = new \Slim\App();
$container = $app->getContainer();

$app->add( new \MultilingualSlim\LanguageMiddleware($available_languages, $default_language, $container) );

$app->get('/', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    // This works with '/', '/pt' and '/en',
    // and prints 'Hello' in each language.
    if ($this->language === 'pt') {
        return $response->write("Olá Mundo");
    } elseif($this->language === 'en') {
        return $response->write("Hello World");
    }
});

$app->run();
```

You can also use a library to render templates such as php-view. For example:

```
$container['renderer'] = new \Slim\Views\PhpRenderer("../views/");

$app->get('/home', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    // This works with '/home', '/pt/home' and '/en/home',
    // and returns the template views/base.php.
    // It also passes the chosen language as an argument accessible from the chosen template.
    return $this->renderer->render($response, "base.php", [
        "language" => $this->language
    ]);
});
```

Acknowledgements
----------------

[](#acknowledgements)

This project is largely influenced by [SimoTod/slim-multilanguage](https://github.com/SimoTod/slim-multilanguage), which follows the same philosophy but is made for the version 2 of Slim.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

Develop functions to do things such as testing for default language, get current language, compare language, and maybe more.
