Installation

Run the following command to install the latest version of the package

composer require epigra/laravel-int

Laravel

If you don't use auto-discovery, open up your app config and add the Service Provider to the $providers array:

'providers' => [
   ...
   Epigra\LaravelInt\IntlServiceProvider::class,
],

Lumen

In bootstrap/app.php, register the Service Provider

$app->register(Epigra\LaravelInt\IntlServiceProvider::class);

Usage

Note: always use the helper functions or Facades, or make use of dependency injection.

Country

Output localized country names.

use Epigra\LaravelInt\Facades\Country;

// Application locale: nl
Country::name('US'); // Verenigde Staten
Country::all(); // ['US' => 'Verenigde Staten', 'BE' => 'België', ...]

// Application locale: en
country('US'); // United States
country()->all(); // ['US' => 'United States', 'BE' => 'Belgium', ...]

Currency

Output localized currency names and format currency amounts into their localized pattern.

use Epigra\LaravelInt\Facades\Currency;

// Application locale: nl
Currency::name('USD'); // Amerikaanse dollar
Currency::symbol('USD'); // $
Currency::format(1000, 'USD'); // $ 1.000,00
Currency::formatAccounting(-1234, 'USD'); // (US$ 1.234,00)
Currency::all(); // ['USD' => 'Amerikaanse dollar', 'EUR' => 'Euro', ...]

// Application locale: en
currency('USD'); // US Dollar
currency()->symbol('USD'); // $
currency(1000, 'USD'); // $1,000.00
currency()->all(); // ['USD' => 'US Dollar', 'EUR' => 'Euro', ...]

Parse localized values into native PHP numbers.

use Epigra\LaravelInt\Facades\Currency;

// Application locale: nl
Currency::parse('€ 1.234,50'); // 1234.5

// Application locale: nl
currency()->parse('€ 1.234,50'); // 1234.5

Date

Just use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Date.

Additional methods are also available to output localized common date formats. E.g. toShortDateString():

Locale "en": 1/31/2018
Locale "nl": 31-01-2018

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Date;

$date = Date::now(); // or carbon()->now()

$date->toShortDateString();
$date->toMediumDateString();
$date->toLongDateString();
$date->toFullDateString();

$date->toShortTimeString();
$date->toMediumTimeString();
$date->toLongTimeString();
$date->toFullTimeString();

$date->toShortDatetimeString();
$date->toMediumDatetimeString();
$date->toLongDatetimeString();
$date->toFullDatetimeString();

Language

Output localized language names.

use Epigra\LaravelInt\Facades\Language;

// Application locale: nl
Language::name('en'); // Engels
Language::all(); // ['en' => 'Engels', 'nl' => 'Nederlands', ...]

// Application locale: en
language('en'); // English
language()->all(); // ['en' => 'English', 'nl' => 'Dutch', ...]

Number

Output localized numeric values into their localized pattern.

use Epigra\LaravelInt\Facades\Number;

// Application locale: en
Number::format(1000); // '1,000'
Number::percent('0.75'); // '75%'

// Application locale: fr
number(1000); // '1 000'
number()->percent('0.75'); // '75 %'

Parse localized values into native PHP numbers.

use Epigra\LaravelInt\Facades\Number;

// Application locale: fr
Number::parse('1 000'); // 1000
number()->parse('1,5'); // 1.5

Changing locales

Ever feel the need to use a locale other than the current application locale? You can temporarily use another locale by using the usingLocale() method.

country()->name('US'); // United States

country()->usingLocale('nl', function($country) {
    return $country->name('US');
}); // Verenigde Staten

country()->name('US'); // United States

Alternatively, you can force each component individually to the preferred locale for the remainder of the application by calling the setLocale() on the helper function or Facade. Usually you'd set this in the boot() method of a ServiceProvider.
