laravel-localization

Thanks to https://github.com/mcamara/laravel-localization For giving me a way to open my eyes that actually laravel could make a dynamic prefix on the first url parameter

IT ONLY SUPPORTS PHP 7.0++ because I use a shorthand of "??"

Setup

I haven't made a composer yet, so you could install it manually by downloading the file and put it anywhere But remember to write it on your kernel to use the middleware and app config to use the class Mine was like this

Kernel.php

'localizationRedirect' => \App\Http\Middleware\LocalizationRedirect::class,

config/app.php

'Localization' => App\Libraries\Facades\Localization::class,

routes/web.php

Route::prefix(Localization::setLocale())
     ->middleware(['localizationRedirect'])

Using translated URL

routes/web.php

Route::get(Localization::trans('routes.about'))

resources/lang/en/routes.php

return [
    "about" => "about",
];

resources/lang/ja/routes.php

return [
    "about" => "約",
];

A few methods you might need

Localization::currentLocale();
Localization::supportedLocale();
Localization::otherSupportedLocale();
Localization::defaultLocale();
Localization::currentTranslatedRouteName();
Localization::currentTranslatedRoutePrefix();
Localization::translatedRouteName($locale);
Localization::translatedRoutePrefix($locale);

available config

config/localization.php

return [
    'filename' => 'routes',
    'hideDefaultLocaleInUrl' => true,
    'defaultTranslatedRoutes' => null,
    'locale' => 'en',
    'globalLocalizationKeyRoute' => function ($model, $locale) {
        // this is a custom slug to detect the current translated routes, mine uses dimsav translatable so it looks like this
        return $model->translate($locale)->slug;
    },
    'hideDefaultLocaleInUrl' => true,
    'translatedRoutesFileName' => 'routes',
    
    //for middleware
    'redirectCode' => 302, 
    
    //imported from mcamara
    'supportedLocales' => [
        'en' => ['name' => 'English', 'script' => 'Latn', 'native' => 'English', 'regional' => 'en_GB'],

why remake mcamara ?

I found many bugs there, and I think mcamara quit from updating his repo. That is why I decided to read his code and do it "my way". Please feel free to star or ask me to add some more features.
