PHP JSON tongue

A Façade for loading localization data from a folder tree of JSON files.

Get started

Install the package with composer:

composer require elaborate-code/php-json-tongue

Requirements:

• PHP 8.0 or higher

Usage

Set the file structure.

Then use the facade.

use ElaborateCode\JsonTongue\TongueFacade;

$tongue = new TongueFacade('/lang');

$localization = $tongue->transcribe();

$localization will be set like:

$localization = [
    "es" => [
        "programmer" => "programador",
        "interviewer" => "entrevistador",
        "Hello" => "Hola",
        "Good morning" => "buenos dias",
        //...
    ],
    "fr" => [
        "Hello" => "Salut",
        "Good morning" => "Bonjour",
        //...
    ]
    //...
];

JSON Faker

Just like when testing Laravel apps, we populate the database temporarily and use the RefreshDatabase trait to rollback the database to its fresh state.

This package ships with ElaborateCode\JsonTongue\JsonFaker\JsonFaker class that helps create a temporary tree of locale folders and JSON files filled with translations.

Here is an example:

$json_faker = JsonFaker::make()
    ->addLocale('ar', [
        'ar.json' => [],
    ])
    ->addLocale('en', [
        'en.json' => [
            'en' => 'en',
            "I know. They're both good. It's hard to decide. McCain is older but he has more experience. Obama seems to have a lot of good ideas, but some people say he wants to raise taxes." => 'Lo sé. Ambos son buenos. Es difícil decidir. McCain es mayor pero tiene más experiencia. Obama parece tener muchas buenas ideas, pero algunas personas dicen que quiere aumentar los impuestos.',
        ],
        'one.json' => [
            'one' => 'one',
        ],
        'two.json' => [
            'two' => 'two',
        ],
    ])
    ->addLocale('multi', [
        'greetings.json' => [
            'en' => [
                'Hello' => 'Hello',
            ],
            'fr' => [
                'Hello' => 'Salut',
            ],
        ],
    ])
    ->write();

// Assert

$json_faker->rollback(); // Delete the complete file structure created for the test
