Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the installation and initial setup of the Eloquent Translatable package.

Installation

1. Require the package using Composer.

   composer require aaix/eloquent-translatable

2. Publish the configuration file (optional).

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Aaix\EloquentTranslatable\TranslatableServiceProvider" --tag="translatable-config"

   This will create a config/translatable.php file where you can set a global fallback locale.

Setup

1. Create the Translations Table

For each model you want to make translatable (e.g., Product), run the provided Artisan command. It will generate the necessary migration file.

php artisan make:translation-table Product

Then, run the migration:

php artisan migrate

2. Prepare Your Model

Add the HasTranslations trait to your model and define which attributes are translatable in the $translatable array.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Aaix\EloquentTranslatable\Traits\HasTranslations;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
   use HasTranslations;

   public array $translatable = ['name', 'description'];
}
