README

A simple package to manage multi-language in your project.

Installation

composer require mateodioev/multi-lang

Usage

• Create a directory to save your language files, for example resources/lang.

• Create a file for each language you want to support, for example en.json and es.json.

File en.json:

{
    "english_name": "English",
    "name": "English",
    "data": {
        "welcome": "Welcome {full_name} to our website",
        "goodbye": "Goodbye dear {full_name}"
    }
}

File es.json:

{
    "english_name": "Spanish",
    "name": "Español",
    "data": {
        "welcome": "Bienvenido {full_name} a nuestro sitio web",
        "goodbye": "Adiós querido {full_name}"
    }
}

• Configure the dir

use Mateodioev\MultiLang\Cache\InMemoryCache;
use Mateodioev\MultiLang\Lang;

Lang::setup(
    dir: __DIR__ . '/resources/lang',
    cache: new InMemoryCache() // Optional
);

• Format the strings

// If the key does not exist it will return null
Lang::get('es')->data('welcome')?->format(['full_name' => 'Mateo']);
// Output: Bienvenido Mateo a nuestro sitio web

File format

• english_name: The name of the language in English.
• name: The name of the language in its own language.
• data: The key-value pairs of the language strings.
  • key: The key of the string.
  • value: The value of the string. You can use placeholders to replace them with values.

WARNING: If the json file does not contain any of these keys or different data it will give an error.

Validate the files

You can validate the files to check if they have the correct format.

WARNING: Not use in production. This load and parse all the files
