HTML String Affixer is a package for Laravel to make projects multilingual. This package finds text strings in HTML and replaces them with a localization function:
{{-- Before --}}<p>Some nice string</p> {{-- After --}}<p>{{ __('Some nice string') }}</p>
This tool can be used with any .jsx
, .vue
, or .twig
file as well, with customizable file prefixes and suffixes. The package's main features include:
- Finds your HTML visible strings and replaces them with affixed one
- Prefix and Suffixes are customizable (default
{{ __('
and') }}
) - If a string contains one of the warning characters, it will not replace but prints out the location:
- If a string contains one of the ignoring characters, it just ignores the string
- Ignore characters and warning characters are customizable from the JSON config file ("ignore" and "warnings")
This package supports configuration, which might look like the following JSON file:
{ "folder": "resources/views", "prefix": "{{ __('", "suffix": "') }}", "ignore": ["#", "_", ">", "^", "*", "="], "warnings": ["%", "{", "(", "}", ")", "$", "'"]}
You can then replace strings with translations using the following command:
./vendor/bin/hsa replace # Or on Windows./vendor/bin/hsawin replace
