README

Small package that enforces the use of existing translation strings in vue

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require rosiersrobin/vue-translation-enforcer

Install Laravel Vue i18n package:

npm i laravel-vue-i18n

load the plugin in your vite.config.js:

import { defineConfig, loadEnv } from "vite";
import i18n from "laravel-vue-i18n/vite";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        ...
        i18n(),
    ],
});

Bonus:

If you want to have auto generation during development, add this script to the plugins list:

run([
    {
        name: "translations-js",
        run: ["php", "artisan", "vte:export"],
        pattern: ["lang/**/*.php"],
    },
])

Create a helper function to 'get' the translations that is based off the laravel-vue-i18n package;

import { trans } from "laravel-vue-i18n";
import { TranslationKey } from "../translations/lang-keys";

export const getTrans = (
    key: TranslationKey, // this is the magic
    replace: Record<string, string> = {},
): string => {
    if (key === null || key === trans(key, replace)) {
        return "";
    }
    return trans(key, replace);
};

Add the following to your .gitignore:

/resources/js/translations/

Usage

To regenerate the translations array, simply run

php artisan vte:export

Tip: Place this in your deploy script before you build the project. If you don't, it will fail the build.
