# Laravel Locale Switcher
[![Latest Version on Packagist][ico-version]][link-packagist]
[![Software License][ico-license]](LICENSE.md)
![Build Status][ico-github-action]
[![Total Downloads][ico-downloads]][link-downloads]
A Simple Laravel middleware to easily load and switch the user's locale.
## Version Compatibility
Laravel | Laravel Locale Switcher
:---------|:----------
5.x | 1.5.x
6.x | 6.x
7.x | 7.x
8.x | 8.x
9.x | 9.x
## Install
Via Composer
``` bash
composer require lykegenes/laravel-locale-switcher
```
Then, add this to your Service Providers (It should be done automa) :
``` php
Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\ServiceProvider::class,
```
and add this Alias [Optional]
``` php
'LocaleSwitcher' => Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\Facades\LocaleSwitcher::class,
```
Finally, you will need to register this Middleware either in your `Kernel.php` or directly in your routes.
This way, you can control which routes will have automatic locale detection (Web pages) or not (your API).
Make sure this middleware is placed **after** any Session or Cookie related middlewares from the framework.
``` php
\Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\Middleware\SwitchLocaleMiddleware::class,
```
Optionally, you can publish and edit the configuration file :
``` bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lykegenes\LocaleSwitcher\ServiceProvider" --tag=config
```
## Usage
To change the locale, simply add **"locale"** to the route parameters.
It works for all your routes.
Some examples :
```
http://my-app.com/?locale=en
http://my-app.com/some/sub/route?locale=fr
http://my-app.com/some/sub/route?locale=es&otherParam=value
```
This will store the locale in the user's session, and set it as the current locale everytime the user requests a page.
You can build the routes with the included helpers. The URLs will be generated using the current locale.
```php
$url = action_localized('SomeController@someFunction', ['your' => 'parameters']);
$url = route_localized('someNamedRoute', ['your' => 'parameters']);
```
To build a URL to the same page, but with a different locale, use the `switch_locale()` helper.
```php
$url = switch_locale('fr'); // URL of the French version of the current page.
```
You can easily generate a dropdown using the [laravelcollective/html](https://github.com/LaravelCollective/html) package :
```php
HTML::ul(LocaleSwitcher::getEnabledLocales());
```
