Laravel Locale
==============

[](#laravel-locale)

Laravel locale is a starting point to build on the laravel translation system.

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

[](#installation)

### Installing Jetstream

[](#installing-jetstream)

You may use Composer to install Laravel Locale into your new Laravel project:

```
composer require nascent-africa/laravel-locale

```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

After installation, add the `NascentAfrica\LaravelLocale\Http\Middleware\LocaleMiddleware` to `web` route group in the kernel.php file.

```
    ...

    /**
     * The application's route middleware groups.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            ...
            NascentAfrica\LaravelLocale\Http\Middleware\LocaleMiddleware::class
        ],

        ...
    ];

```

By default, this package supports `en` and `fr` locales, but you can reset this by registering your preferred locale option in your service provider:

```
namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use NascentAfrica\LaravelLocale\LaravelLocaleFacade;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        LaravelLocaleFacade::setLocales([
            'en', 'fr'
        ]);
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package registers a `/locales/{local}` to enable you switch locales by simply making a get request passing the local you wish to switch to as a parameter.

```
{{ __('English') }}

or

{{ __('English') }}
```

Vue helper
----------

[](#vue-helper)

This package implements a technique by \[Daiyrbek Artelov\](Daiyrbek Artelov) in his [How to use Laravel translations in JS (vue) files?](https://dev.to/4unkur/how-to-use-laravel-translations-in-js-vue-files-ia) to enable the use of laravel translation in VueJs files using a nice little `__(...)` function.

You can set this up with following steps:

1. Import the module and use it with vue.

```
import Vue from 'vue'

Vue.use(require('../../vendor/nascent-africa/laravel-locale/resources/js/locale'))
```

2. Add local scripts to your layout blade view.

```

    ...

            window._locale = '{{ app()->getLocale() }}'
            window._translations = {!! cache('translations') !!}

```

Now you can use the `__(..)` function in your vue files like so:

```

        {{ __('Example Component') }}

            {{ __("I'm an example component.") }}

export default {
    mounted() {
        console.log(this.__('Component mounted.'))
    }
}

```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Run the tests with:

```
vendor/bin/phpunit
```
