Laravel 5 User Preferred Localization

This package allows users to set the prefered site localization. Locales are based on ISO 639-1 standard. It automatically switch the site langage to the user preference. All you have to do is install it and set a locale for the user.

Installation

You can install the package via composer

composer require ericlagarda/locally

Then you must configure the service provider by adding this in config/app.php

'providers' => [
  ...
  Smartisan\Locally\LocallyServiceProvider::class,
];

Also, add the middleware to web group in Kernel.php

'web' => [
            ...
            \Smartisan\Locally\Http\Middlewares\LocallyMiddleware::class
        ],

And you must publish the migrations

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Smartisan\Locally\LocallyServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Do not forget to migrate your tables

php artisan migrate

Finally, add the package trait in your User model.

class User
{
    use LocallyTrait;
}

Optionally, you can add a Laravel Facade and alias for it in config/app.php

'aliases' => [
  ...
  'Locally'   => \Smartisan\Locally\Facades\Locally::class
];
