Version Compatibility --------------------- [](#version-compatibility) LaravelLaravel Locale Switcher5.x1.5.x6.x6.x7.x7.x8.x8.x9.x9.xInstall ------- [](#install) Via Composer ``` composer require lykegenes/laravel-locale-switcher ``` Then, add this to your Service Providers (It should be done automa) : ``` Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\ServiceProvider::class, ``` and add this Alias \[Optional\] ``` 'LocaleSwitcher' => Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\Facades\LocaleSwitcher::class, ``` Finally, you will need to register this Middleware either in your `Kernel.php` or directly in your routes. This way, you can control which routes will have automatic locale detection (Web pages) or not (your API). Make sure this middleware is placed **after** any Session or Cookie related middlewares from the framework. ``` \Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\Middleware\SwitchLocaleMiddleware::class, ``` Optionally, you can publish and edit the configuration file : ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\ServiceProvider" --tag=config ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) To change the locale, simply add **"locale"** to the route parameters. It works for all your routes. Some examples : ``` http://my-app.com/?locale=en http://my-app.com/some/sub/route?locale=fr http://my-app.com/some/sub/route?locale=es&otherParam=value ``` This will store the locale in the user's session, and set it as the current locale everytime the user requests a page. You can build the routes with the included helpers. The URLs will be generated using the current locale. ``` $url = action_localized('SomeController@someFunction', ['your' => 'parameters']); $url = route_localized('someNamedRoute', ['your' => 'parameters']); ``` To build a URL to the same page, but with a different locale, use the `switch_locale()` helper. ``` $url = switch_locale('fr'); // URL of the French version of the current page. ``` You can easily generate a dropdown using the [laravelcollective/html](https://github.com/LaravelCollective/html) package : ``` HTML::ul(LocaleSwitcher::getEnabledLocales()); ``` Credits ------- [](#credits) - [Patrick Samson](https://github.com/patricksamson) - [All Contributors](../../contributors) License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
