README

Artisan Language is a Laravel package designed to streamline the management of translation keys in your application. It provides powerful Artisan commands to synchronize, scan, and manage translation keys for Blade templates, PHP files, and JavaScript files.

Features

• Synchronize translation keys across multiple locales.
• Automatically update JSON language files with missing keys.
• Remove unused keys from JSON language files.
• Scan Blade, PHP, and JavaScript files for translation keys.
• Fully customizable through the configuration file.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require tarektaher/artisan-language

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=artisan-language-config

This will create the configuration file at config/artisan-language.php.

Configuration

The configuration file allows you to define paths, patterns, and settings for the package.

Default Configuration:

return [
    'default_language' => 'en', // Default language for synchronization
    'languages' => [ // Supported languages
        'en' => 'English',
        'fr' => 'French',
    ],
    'scan_paths' => [ // Paths to scan for translation keys
        app_path(),
        resource_path('views'),
        resource_path('assets/js'),
    ],
    'scan_pattern' => '/(@lang|__|\$t|\$tc)\s*(\(\s*[\'"])([^$]*)([\'"]+\s*(,[^\)]*)*\))/U', // Regex pattern to detect keys
    'lang_path' => base_path('lang'), // Path to JSON language files
];
