About

Laravel 5 package that allows you to share your Laravel localizations with your vue front-end, using vue-i18n.

Usage

In your project: composer require andre-dw/laravel-vue-i18n-generator

In config/app.php providers:

MartinLindhe\VueInternationalizationGenerator\GeneratorProvider::class,

Then generate the include file with php artisan vue-i18n:generate

Adjust your vue app with something like:

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueInternationalization from 'vue-i18n';

import Locales from './vue-i18n-locales.generated.js';

Vue.use(VueInternationalization, {
    lang: 'en',
    locales: Locales
});

...

Parameters

The generator adjusts the strings in order to work with vue-i18n's named formatting, so you can reuse your Laravel translations with parameters.

resource/lang/message.php:

return [
    'hello' => 'Hello :name',
];

in vue-i18n-locales.generated.js:

...
    "hello": "Hello {name}",
...

Blade template:

<div class="message">
    <p>{{ trans('message.hello', ['name' => 'visitor']) }}</p>
</div>

Vue template:

<div class="message">
    <p>{{ $t('message.hello', {name: 'visitor'}) }}</p>
</div>
