Laravel DB Language
===================

[](#laravel-db-language)

This package gives you an easy way to generate automatically all language fields on database, using Laravel 5 command. If you have on database fields like `body_en` and you want to create new like `body_it` you can use this package to create it.

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

First, pull in the package through Composer.

```
composer require makth/laravel-db-language

```

or

```
"require":{
    "makth/laravel-db-language": "2.0"
}
```

Next, open `config/app.php`, and include service provider.

```
'providers' => [
    Makth\DbLanguage\DbLanguageServiceProvider::class,
];
```

And, for convenience, add a facade alias to the same file at the bottom:

```
'aliases' => [
    'Lang' => Makth\DbLanguage\Facade\Lang::class,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Add a language

[](#add-a-language)

```
php artisan language:add German

```

### Remove a language

[](#remove-a-language)

```
php artisan language:remove German

```

#### Default language

[](#default-language)

You can set your default language using option `--default`. For example:

```
php artisan language:add German --default="English"

```

If you want to have more than one languages, you set your main (already installed) language as default, and you add the other languages.

### Config

[](#config)

You can publish config file `lang.php`, and set your default language there.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

```

### Language Field

[](#language-field)

You can have form fields with multiple languages.

#### Step 1

[](#step-1)

Export css files to public folder.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=flags

```

#### Step 2

[](#step-2)

Add in your blade file, on head tag:

```
@include('lang::style')

```

And at the bottom of the body:

```
@include('lang::script')

```

And now you can get the form field with all installed languages like this:

```
{{ Lang::fields(
    'table_name',
    'field_name',
    ['first_language_value', 'second_language_value'],
    null,
    ['placeholder' => 'Name', 'required' => 'required']
    )
}}
```

- `table_name` : the name of the db table.
- `field_name` : the name of table field, without language extension.
- the third parameter is an array with languages values.
- the fourth parameter used to sets manual the default language.
- the fifth parameter is an array with extra attributes for the fields.

For form fields used twitter bootstrap, and for the flags [this](https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css) package.
