README

Easy to use internationalization functions for Laravel 5 based on various libraries for easy retrieval of localized values and formatting of numeric values into their localized patterns.

Overview

• Installation
• Usage
  • Country
  • Currency
  • Date
  • Language
  • Number
• Changing locales

Installation

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

composer require webident/laravel-intl

In your app config, add the Service Provider to the $providers array

'providers' => [
   ...
   Webident\LaravelIntl\IntlServiceProvider::class,
],

Usage

Note: always use the helper functions or Facades.

Country

Output localized country names.

use Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Country;

// Application locale: en
Country::name('US'); // United States
Country::currency('US'); // USD
Country::all(); // ['US' => 'United States', 'BE' => 'Belgium', ...]

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

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

Currency

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

use Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Currency;

// Application locale: en
Currency::name('USD'); // US Dollar
Currency::symbol('USD'); // $
Currency::format(1000, 'USD'); // $1,000.00
Currency::formatAccounting(-1234, 'USD'); // ($1,234.00)
Currency::all(); // ['USD' => 'US Dollar', 'EUR' => 'Euro', ...]

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

Parse localized values into native PHP numbers.

use Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Currency;

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

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

Date

Output localized dates.

Use the Facade (Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Carbon) or the helper function (carbon()) as if it were Carbon.

Language

Output localized language names.

use Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Language;

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

// 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 Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Number;

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

// Application locale: fr
Number::format(1000); // 1 000
Number::percent(75); // 75 %

// Application locale: en
number(1000); // 1,000
number()->percent(75); // 75%

Parse localized values into native PHP numbers.

use Webident\LaravelIntl\Facades\Number;

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

// 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 forLocale() method.

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

country()->forLocale('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 rest 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.

country()->setLocale($locale);
currency()->setLocale($locale);
carbon()->setLocale($locale);
language()->setLocale($locale);
number()->setLocale($locale);

country()->setFallbackLocale($locale);
currency()->setFallbackLocale($locale);
carbon()->setFallbackLocale($locale);
language()->setFallbackLocale($locale);
number()->setFallbackLocale($locale);
