This [Laravel Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) allows you to make any input field `spatie/laravel-translatable` compatible and localisable.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- `laravel/nova: ^2.9 || ^3.0`
- `spatie/laravel-translatable: ^4.0 || ^5.0`

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Supports almost all fields** (including third party ones)
- **Supports default validation automatically**
- **Simple to implement** with minimal code changes (after `spatie/laravel-translatable` support)
- Locale tabs to switch between different locale values of the same field
- **Double click** on a tab to switch all fields to that locale
- Supports [nova-settings](https://github.com/optimistdigital/nova-settings) package

Known non-working fields
------------------------

[](#known-non-working-fields)

- `Image` and `File`
    - Workarounds:
        - [optimistdigital/nova-media-field](https://github.com/optimistdigital/nova-media-field)
        - or any library that uploads images/files using XHR

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

- The following methods can not be used, as this package uses them internally:
    - `resolveUsing`
    - `fillUsing`
    - `displayUsing` (might be fixed eventually)

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

[](#installation)

Firstly, set up [spatie/laravel-translatable](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-translatable).

Install the package in a Laravel Nova project via Composer:

```
# Install nova-translatable
composer require optimistdigital/nova-translatable

# Publish configuration (optional, but useful for setting default locales)
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="nova-translatable-config"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Call `->translatable()` on any field, like so:

```
// Any Nova field
Text::make('Name')
  ->rules('required', 'min:2')
  ->translatable(),

// Any third-party input field
Multiselect::make('Football teams')
  ->rules('required')
  ->translatable(),

// Optionally pass custom locales on a per-field basis
Number::make('Population')
  ->translatable([
    'en' => 'English',
    'et' => 'Estonian',
  ]),
```

Validation
----------

[](#validation)

It's possible to define locale specific validation rules.

To do so, add the `->rulesFor()` on your field and the `HandlesTranslatable` trait to your Nova resource.

`->rulesFor` accepts `array|string|callable` locales and `array|callable` rules.

```
use OptimistDigital\NovaTranslatable\HandlesTranslatable;

class Product extends Resource
{
    use HandlesTranslatable;

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            Text::make(__('Name'), 'name')
                ->sortable()
                ->translatable()
                ->rules(['max:255'])
                ->rulesFor('en', [
                    'required',
                ])
                ->rulesFor(['en', 'et'], function ($locale) {
                    return ["unique:products,name->$locale{{resourceId}}"];
                }),
        ];
    }
}
```

#### In this example, rules will be added to the following values

[](#in-this-example-rules-will-be-added-to-the-following-values)

```
max: name.*
required: name.en
unique: name.en & name.et
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can define default locales for all the `translatable` fields in the config file. The config file can be published using:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="nova-translatable-config"
```

### Fill other locales from config option

[](#fill-other-locales-from-config-option)

The configuration option `fill_other_locales_from` allows you to pre-fill other locales from just one locale. This requires the resources to also have the `HandlesTranslatable` trait.

Edge cases
----------

[](#edge-cases)

#### BelongsToMany allowDuplicateRelations corner-case

[](#belongstomany-allowduplicaterelations-corner-case)

When using this field inside a BelongsToMany as a pivot field with `->allowDuplicateRelations()` and you want to filter out exact matches using the `NotExactlyAttached` rule, use the `BelongsToManyTranslatable` field instead of the regular `BelongsToMany`.
