README

This is a Laravel package for translatable models.

##Demo

Creating new translations

App\Models\Article::create([

	'url' => 'your-url',
	'en' => [

		'name' 	=> 'Article english name',
		'title' => 'Article english title',
	],
	'fr' => [

		'name' 	=> 'Article french name',
		'title' => 'Article french title',
	],
]);

Getting translated attributes

$article = App\Models\Article::where('url', '=', 'your-url')->first();

App::setLocale('en');
echo $article->name;

echo $article->translate('en')->name;
echo $article->en->name;

Setting translated attributes

$article->url 			= 'your-url-change';

$article->name			= 'Article english name change';
$article->en->name		= 'Article english name change';
$article->translate('fr')->title= 'Article french title change';

$article->save();

or

$article->save([

	'url'	=> 'your-url-change',
	'es' 	=> [

		'name' 	=> 'Article spain name',
		'title' => 'Article spain title',
	],
]);

or

$article->fill([

	'en' => [

		'name' 	=> 'Article english name',
		'title' => 'Article english title',
	],
	'es' => [

		'name' 	=> 'Article spain name',
		'title' => 'Article spain title',
	],	
		
])->save();

##Installation in 4 steps

###Step 1: Install package

Add the package in your composer.json by executing the command.

composer require goodvin/langust:dev-master

Next, add the service provider to config/app.php

'Goodvin\Langust\LangustServiceProvider',

###Step 2: Migrations

For example, we need to translate Article model. It is require an extra ArticleLang model.

Schema::create('articles', function(Blueprint $table){

    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('url', 200);
    $table->timestamps();
});

Schema::create('article_langs', function(Blueprint $table){

    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name', 200);
    $table->string('title', 200);
    $table->integer('article_id')->unsigned();
    $table->enum('lang', [
    
        'en',
        'fr',
        'es',
    ])->index();
    
    $table->unique([
    
        'article_id',
        'lang'
    ]);
    
    $table->foreign('article_id')
        ->references('id')
        ->on('articles')
        ->onDelete('cascade');
});

###Step 3: Models

1. The translatable model Article should use the trait Goodvin\Langust\Langust.
2. The convention for the translation model is ArticleLang.

// /app/Models/Article.php
<?php namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model
{
	use \Goodvin\Langust\Langust;

	protected $fillable = [

		'url',
	];

	protected $langust = [

		'name',
		'title',
	];

}

// /app/Models/ArticleLang.php
<?php namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class ArticleLang extends Model
{
	public $timestamps = false;
}

It is no need to set fillable fields in translatable model :)

###Step 4: Configuration

Laravel 5.*

php artisan vendor:publish
