I18n is an opinionated package to add internationalisation to a Laravel model.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require nalingia/laravel-i18n
```

Laravel will discover the related service provider.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package comes with a *ready-to-use* migration to enable your model to be internationalised. To create the migration run

```
 php artisan i18n:table
```

and then

```
 php artisan migrate
```

It has a minimum configuration available. You can publish using

```
 php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nalingia\I18n\I18nServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

To enable internationalisation in your models, follow these simple steps:

1. Import `Nalingia\I18n\Traits\HasI18n` trait into you model.
2. Add a public property named `$catalogueAttributes`: it will contains all attributes that will be translated.
3. Add `'catalogueItems'` to model's `$with` array when using Lavavel 5.6 or below. Starting from Laravel 5.7 imported traits can initialize everything needed when a model is booting. HasI18n can append `'catalogueItems'` to `$with` and `$hidden` arrays.

Here's an set up example:

```
use \Nalingia\I18n\Traits\HasI18n;

class Article extends Model {
   use HasI18n;

   public $catalogueAttributes = [
     'title',
     'abstract',
     'content',
   ];
}
```

### Translations management

[](#translations-management)

There are several way to access property localisations but the easiest one is related to the current application locale:

```
$article->title
```

You can also use this method to access a translation:

```
public function getCatalogueItem(string $attribute, string $locale) : string
```

#### Get a catalogue item

[](#get-a-catalogue-item)

Accessing translation for current application locale is as easy as accessing a model attribute:

```
$article->title
// or
$article->abstract
```

If you want to access translation for a different locale, you can call `translate(string $key, string $locale)`:

```
$article->translate('title', 'it')
```

or

```
$article->getCatalogueItem('title', 'it')
```

#### Retrieve all catalogue items

[](#retrieve-all-catalogue-items)

You can get all available catalogue items for a model by calling `getCatalogueItems()` without providing any argument:

```
$article->getCatalogueItems()
```

Or you can use the accessor

```
$article->translations
```

#### Retrieve all available locales

[](#retrieve-all-available-locales)

You can get all available locale for which exist at least one catalogue item by calling `getCatalogueLocales()`:

```
$article
  ->setCatalogueItem('title', 'en', 'English title')
  ->setCatalogueItem('abstract', 'en', 'English abstract')
  ->setCatalogueItem('title', 'it', 'Italian title')
  ->setCatalogueItem('abstract', 'it', 'Italian abstract')
  ->setCatalogueItem('abstract', 'de', 'German abstract');

$article->getCatalogueLocales(); // ['it', 'en', 'de']
```

#### Setting a catalogue item

[](#setting-a-catalogue-item)

Setting translation for current application locale is as easy as setting a model's property:

```
$article->title = 'Super cool title';
// or
$article->abstract = 'Exciting abstract...';
```

If you want to translate in locales different to the application one you can call `setCatalogueItem(string $key, string $locale, $value)`:

```
$article
  ->setCatalogueItem('title', 'en', 'English title')
  ->setCatalogueItem('abstract', 'en', 'English abstract')
  ->setCatalogueItem('title', 'it', 'Italian title')
  ->setCatalogueItem('abstract', 'it', 'Italian abstract');
```

#### Remove a catalotue item

[](#remove-a-catalotue-item)

You can delete a translation for a specific field:

```
public function forgetCatalogueItem(string $key, string $locale);
```

Or, you can delete all translation for a locale:

```
public function forgetCatalogueItemsForLocale(string $locale);
```

### Creating models

[](#creating-models)

You can set catalogue items when creating new model

```
$article = Article::create([
    'title' => [
        'en' => 'English title',
        'it' => 'Italian title',
    ],
    'abstract' => [
        'en' => 'English abstract',
        'it' => 'Italian abstract',
    ],
]);
```

or you can set only catalogue items that match the current application locale by setting the attribute value without providing any locale key. For example:

```
// app()->getLocale() == 'de'

$article = Article::create([
    'title' => 'German title'
    'abstract' => 'German abstract',
]);
```

is the same as

```
$article = Article::create([
    'title' => [
        'de' => 'German title',
    ],
    'abstract' => [
        'de' => 'German abstract',
    ],
]);
```
