Laravel translation in VueJS

This package helps you to have Laravel translation functionality in your client side applications specially in Vue js

Get started

install the package via composer

composer require tohidplus/laravel-vue-translation

In the config/app.php file add the service provider

'providers' => [
   //
   Tohidplus\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
   //
 ];

Publish the package assets by running the command

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tohidplus\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider"

This will publish the Translation.js file in resources/js/VueTranslation directory

Run the artisan command

php artisan VueTranslation:generate --watch=1

This will compile down all the translation files in the resources/lang directory in the file resources/js/VueTranslation/translations.json

Open the file resources/js/app.js and add the Translation helper

window.Vue = require('vue');
// If you want to add to window object
window.translate=require('./VueTranslation/Translation').default.translate;

// If you want to use it in your vue components
Vue.prototype.translate=require('./VueTranslation/Translation').default.translate;

Compile the assets by running the command

npm run development
// or watch or production

How to switch the languages?

This will get the current language form the document lang attribute

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>Document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    </body>
</html>

How to use?

Imagine this is the directory structure of resources/lang

|--en
   |--auth.php
   |--pagination.php
   |--passwords.php
   |--validation.php
   |--messages.php
|--fr
   |--auth.php
   |--pagination.php
   |--passwords.php
   |--validation.php
   |--messages.php

And the messages.php file is something like

return [
    'foo'=>[
        'bar'=>'Some message'
    ]
];

You can get the value by calling the translate method

translate('messages.foo.bar')

Example in Vue component

<template>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-8">
                <div class="card">
                    <div class="card-header">Example Component</div>
                    <div class="card-body">
                        {{translate('messages.foo.bar')}}
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    export default {
      
    }
</script>

Uses Fallback Locale

To interact same like Laravel trans() insert in your layout

<meta name="fallback_locale" content="{{ config('app.fallback_locale') }}">

Replace attributes

It's not recommended to use this package for showing validation errors but if you want you can replace :attribute, :size etc by passing the second argument as an object.

translate('validation.required',{
    attribute:translate('validation.attributes.title')
});

Notice: if it could not find the value for the key you passed it will return the exact key
