Laravel package that supplies language tracking and language switching services and pulls in commonly used multi-language packages to create a sane basis for bilingual (French and English) Laravel apps.

Take a look at [contributing.md](contributing.md) to see a to do list.

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

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require mlatjac/fren
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Language middleware

[](#language-middleware)

The Language middleware sets the app's current locale to the currently selected language.

The package inserts this middleware in the middleware stack for all web routes.

To specifically invoke this middleware on a route, you can use its 'lang' alias, as in:

```
Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
})->middleware('lang');
```

### Language switching routes

[](#language-switching-routes)

This package registers language switching routes. These routes update the currently selected language and redirect back to the calling url.

The url '/lang/en' will switch the current language to English, the '/lang/fr' will switch the current language to French.

Use its route name 'lang.switch' along with its languageCode parameter with url builders, as in:

```
url(route('lang.switch',['languageCode' => 'en']))
```
