README

Manage Laravel translations in the database and export them to JSON files.

Installation

composer require shaunthegeek/laravel-lang-db

Usage

1. Run migrations to create the table:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-lang-db-migrations
php artisan migrate

1. Import translations from /lang directory to database:

php artisan lang:import

This will read all .json files in /lang and populate the database. By default, it skips existing keys. Use --force to update existing records:

php artisan lang:import --force

1. Add translations to the languages table, either by directly operating the database or via the admin interface (e.g., FilamentPHP).

locale	key	value
en	messages.welcome	Welcome
zh_CN	messages.welcome	欢迎

1. Export translations to /lang directory:

php artisan lang:export

This will create/update:

• /lang/en.json
• /lang/zh_CN.json

Testing

composer test
