The way I implemented multilang is through middleware and routes.
Middleware Localization.php looks like this:
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
$locale = $request->segment(1);
if(empty($locale)) {
return redirect()->to('/' . app()->getLocale());
}
if(in_array($locale, ['en','it'])) {
App::setLocale($locale);
$request->except(0);
}
return $next($request);
}
And in my web.php I have:
Route::get('locale/{locale}', function ($locale){
\Session::put('locale', $locale);
$path = Route::getCurrentRoute()->getPath();
return redirect($path);
})->name('langroute');
In blade I'm using it like this:
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ url('/en') }}">
How can I redirect back to same page after changing to another lang?
Sharing a global variable to all of your views as following in your AppServiceProvider
:
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$thisUrl = url()->current().'/';
if (app()->getlocale() == 'en') {
$newUrl = str_replace('/en/', '/it/', $thisUrl);
}else{
$newUrl = str_replace('/it/', '/en/', $thisUrl);
}
View::share('newUrl', $newUrl);
}
}
And you can redirect in blade same like before:
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ $newUrl }}">
