Installation

You can install the nova tool in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require badinansoft/nova-language-switch

Next up, you must register the tool with Nova. This is typically done in the tools method of the NovaServiceProvider.

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

// ...

public function tools()
{
    return [
        // ...
        new \Badinansoft\LanguageSwitch\LanguageSwitch(),
    ];
}

Next up, must you publish the config file with for add your languages:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Badinansoft\LanguageSwitch\ToolServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

<?php  
  
return [  
  
	/**  
	 * List of languages that your application supports 
	 * array <string,  string>  
	 */  
	 'supported-languages' => [  
		  'en' => 'English',  
		  'ar' => 'Arabic',  
		  //here you can add new lanaguage or remove language that you need by 'local'=>'Label'
	 ],  
  
	/**  
	 * Languages That need RTL support 
	 *  string 
	 * */  
	'rtl-languages' => [  
		  'ar'  
		  //here put that language that need support RTL just put local of the language like this example for arabic 
		 
	 ],  
  
];

Finally you should register middleware This is typically done in the $middlewareGroups property of the Http/Kernel in web group.

   /**  
   *  The application's route middleware groups. 
   *  @var array<string, array<int, class-string|string>>  
   */  
   protected $middlewareGroups = [  
     'web' => [  
   		  //...
   		  \Badinansoft\LanguageSwitch\Http\Middleware\LanguageSwitch::class  
     ],
     //...
   ];
