README

This repository provides a twig extension class for the twig view parser. The class adds a translate helper function for the use in twig templates. The translator function tries to call the trans() function of an Illuminate\Translation\Translator object in the slim DI container.

Create a composer.json file in your project root:

{
    "require": {
        "abedmaatalla/slim-twig-translation": "1.0.0"

Then run the following composer command:

$ php composer.phar install

$container['translator'] = function ($c)
{
  // Register the English translator 'en'
  $translator = new Illuminate\Translation\Translator(new Illuminate\Translation\FileLoader(new Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem(), __DIR__ . '/lang'), 'en');
    // setLocal for new location 
    $translator->setLocale('fr');
    return $translator;

Slim

Set up your twig views as described in the SlimViews Repository. Add the extension to your parser extensions.

$container['view'] = function ($c)

  $view->addExtension(new \abedmaatalla\Slim\Twig\Extension\TranslationExtension($c->translator));
