Documentation

Undergoing continuous enhancements, this package evolves each day, integrating an array of diverse features. It stands as an indispensable asset for enthusiasts of Laravel, offering a seamless way to harmonize their projects with translation database models.

In this package, you can employ it seamlessly with any model requiring database translation.

Now, let's delve into the core functionality.

Before doing anything, you must migrate after installing the package by composer.

php artisan migrate

Meet the HasTranslation class, meticulously designed for integration into your model. This class automates essential tasks, ensuring a streamlined process for:

In the first step, you need to connect this class to your main model.

use JobMetric\Translation\HasTranslation;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasTranslation;
}

When you add this class, you will have to implement TranslationContract to your model.

use JobMetric\Translation\Contracts\TranslationContract;

class Post extends Model implements TranslationContract
{
    use HasTranslation;
}

Now you have to use the translationAllowFields function and you have to add it to your model.

use JobMetric\Translation\Contracts\TranslationContract;

class Post extends Model implements TranslationContract
{
    use HasTranslation;

    public function translationAllowFields(): array
    {
        return [
            'title',
            'body',
        ];
    }
}

This function is for you to declare what translation fields you need for this model, and you should return them here as an array.

How is it used?

Now, you can use the HasTranslation class to translate your model. The following example demonstrates how to create a new post with translations:

$post = Post::create([
    'status' => 'published',
]);

$post->translate('en', [
    'title' => 'Post title',
    'body' => 'Post body',
]);

$post->translate('de', [
    'title' => 'Post Titel',
    'body' => 'Post Inhalt',
]);

$post->translate('fr', [
    'title' => 'Titre de la publication',
    'body' => 'Corps de poste',
]);

$post->translate('fa', [
    'title' => 'عنوان پست',
    'body' => 'متن پست',
]);

You could also do this inside a foreach, it was more for show off.

You can also use the translate method to update the translations:

$post->translate('de', [
    'title' => 'Post Titel',
    'body' => 'Post Inhalt',
]);

Now we go to the functions that we have added to our model.
