I am using laravel 5. I have a file structure like the below:
+App
+Http
+Controllers
+ExampleController.php
+Lang
+Files
+Items.php
In my ItemsFile.php, I return an array like so:
<?php
return array(
'item1' => 'Toys',
'item2' => 'Shoes',
'item3' => 'Clothes',
'item4' => 'Cars',
);
I want to return an index from the ItemFile.php in my ExampleController.php file like this:
$selected = Lang::get('Items.item1');
But I get errors such as: Class 'App\Lang' not found
What do I need to do to include this functionality? I think it has something to do with namespaces but I am not sure what.
If you are trying to use Localisation I see a couple of weird things:
In laravel 5 the language files should be in resources
. Like resources/lang/en/item.php
.
You seem to be missing a language folder. Like /en/
in my example above.
You don't have to import a class to translate something, you could just use: trans('item.item1');
So if you set it up like this it should work:
/resources/lang/en/items.php
return array(
'item1' => 'Toys',
'item2' => 'Shoes',
'item3' => 'Clothes',
'item4' => 'Cars',
);
/app/http/Controllers/ExampleController.php
$selected = trans('items.item1');
dd($selected);
The language folder used is the locale
specified in config/app.php
.
