Simply add the required middleware and update your configuration. Installation ------------ [](#installation) - Install package ``` composer require tyler36/localization ``` - Publish configuration Run the command below to publish the configuration file ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider=tyler36/localization ``` - Add supported languages By default, only the current app locale is deemed valid. You can add additional languages to configuration file (`config/localization.php`). Can't see the file? Perhaps you forgot to publish it; see the above step. For a list of internationally recognized language codes, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_ISO\_639-1\_codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes). - Apply middleware Add the desired middle to the `app/Http/Kernel.php` file in the required location. For more details, see the Laravel documentation () Middleware ---------- [](#middleware) ### Option 1: Header request [](#option-1-header-request) This middleware uses a request header to set the locale. By default, the query string is set to `X-localization` but can be changed through the config file. It's ideal for making request via javascript. - Register `\Tyler36\Localization\Middleware\HeaderLocale::class` - Set the header in via vanilla javascript or preferred javascript framework. For example, you can apply the header to all `Axios` request with the following: ``` // Set language to German ('de') window.axios = axios; window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-localization'] = 'de'; ``` Now, when you send a request to the endpoint Laravel will update the locale to match the setting, assuming it is configured as 'valid'. ### Option 2: Query String [](#option-2-query-string) This middleware is designed to use a query string. - Register `\Tyler36\Localization\Middleware\QueryStringLocale::class` - Add the query string to a URL. By default, the query string is set to `lang` but can be changed through the config file. ``` // This will return the site with default locale https://cool-site.dev // This will return the site with locale to to German (de) https://cool-site.dev?lang=de ``` ### Option 3: Member preference [](#option-3-member-preference) This middleware uses an attribute on the User model to set the locale. When a member is logged in, it check their saved locale and applies it. - Register `\Tyler36\Localization\Middleware\MemberLocale::class` - Create the attribute on User models By default, the query string is set to `locale` but can be changed through the config file. ``` $table->string('locale', 2)->default(app()->getLocale()); ``` ### Option 4: Session [](#option-4-session) This middleware looks for a value in Laravel session. - Register `\Tyler36\Localization\Middleware\SessionLocale::class` - Create a route that saves the `session_key => locale` to the session By default, the `session_key` is set to `locale` but can be changed through the config file. ``` $key = config('localization.session_key', 'locale'); session([$key => request()->get($key)]); ``` or you could use the included controller by updating your route file ``` // routes/web.php Route::get('/locale/{locale}', [ 'as' => 'localization.session', 'uses' => '\Tyler36\Localization\Controller\LocaleController@session' ]); // blade - create links route('localization.session', [config('localization.session_key') => $locale] ``` ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance30 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
