README

This package gives you an easy way to generate automatically all language fields on database, using Laravel 5 command. If you have on database fields like body_en and you want to create new like body_it you can use this package to create it.

Installing

First, pull in the package through Composer.

composer require makth/laravel-db-language 

or

"require":{
    "makth/laravel-db-language": "2.0"
}

Next, open config/app.php, and include service provider.

'providers' => [
    Makth\DbLanguage\DbLanguageServiceProvider::class,
];

And, for convenience, add a facade alias to the same file at the bottom:

'aliases' => [
    'Lang' => Makth\DbLanguage\Facade\Lang::class,
];

Usage

Add a language

php artisan language:add German

Remove a language

php artisan language:remove German

Default language

You can set your default language using option --default. For example:

php artisan language:add German --default="English"

If you want to have more than one languages, you set your main (already installed) language as default, and you add the other languages.

Config

You can publish config file lang.php, and set your default language there.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Language Field

You can have form fields with multiple languages.

Step 1

Export css files to public folder.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=flags

Step 2

Add in your blade file, on head tag:

@include('lang::style')

And at the bottom of the body:

@include('lang::script')

And now you can get the form field with all installed languages like this:

{{ Lang::fields(
    'table_name',
    'field_name', 
    ['first_language_value', 'second_language_value'], 
    null,
    ['placeholder' => 'Name', 'required' => 'required']
    ) 
}}

• table_name : the name of the db table.
• field_name : the name of table field, without language extension.
• the third parameter is an array with languages values.
• the fourth parameter used to sets manual the default language.
• the fifth parameter is an array with extra attributes for the fields.

For form fields used twitter bootstrap, and for the flags this package.
