Squanto, its name derived from one of the first [Native Indian interpreters](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squanto), is an opinionated way to manage the translations in database. **NOTE: This package is still in development and the api will be subject to change. That being said, please do try this package out as feedback is much appreciated!** Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - php >= 7.4.7 - Laravel >= 8.0 Install ------- [](#install) Via Composer ``` $ composer require thinktomorrow/squanto ``` Setup ----- [](#setup) The service providers of the package will be discovered automatically by Laravel. Note that there are two providers: one general package service provider but also a separate one for the Manager browser UI. Run the migrations. This will add a table called `squanto_lines` to your database. ``` $ php artisan migrate ``` Next, publish the config file. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=squanto-config ``` In the config, set the different locales you'll wish to maintain via squanto. Most of the other config settings are sensible defaults and should work fine. Admin interface --------------- [](#admin-interface) ### routes [](#routes) Add the following routes. These are the route definitions for viewing and editing the translations. Make sure you'll add the necessary authentication middleware. ``` Route::get('translations/{id}/edit', [\Thinktomorrow\Squanto\Manager\Http\ManagerController::class, 'edit'])->name('squanto.edit'); Route::put('translations/{id}', [\Thinktomorrow\Squanto\Manager\Http\ManagerController::class, 'update'])->name('squanto.update'); Route::get('translations', [\Thinktomorrow\Squanto\Manager\Http\ManagerController::class, 'index'])->name('squanto.index'); ``` ### Wysiswyg editor [](#wysiswyg-editor) The 'redactor' editor is required so you'll need to include the css and js assets. This is not provided since you'll need a licence. Feel free to switch editors. The textareas that require a wysiwyg are assigned the `redactor-editor` class. Usage ----- [](#usage) The following console commands are available for the developer. ``` # Push all language lines to the database. Existing database values will remain untouched. $ php artisan squanto:push # Remove database lines that are no longer present in the language files. $ php artisan squanto:purge # Check if your database lines are up to date, and if a push or purge command is advised. $ php artisan squanto:check # Rebuild the database cache. $ php artisan squanto:cache ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently. Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` $ composer test ``` Security -------- [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email to instead of using the issue tracker.
