Laravel localization

@vincent15000 don t want to change it but pass the value to session local (lang)

p.s i will look into your option for further solution ,looks great, still ,want to understand my error :)

@mir86 What do you see in the console if you type this ?

<script type="text/javascript">
    var url = "{{ route('changeLang') }}";

	console.log(url);

    $(".changeLang").change(function(){
        window.location.href = url + "?lang="+ $(this).val();
    });
</script>

@vincent15000 strange running it in firefox console and phpstorm == no errors

@mir86 What does the console show ?

@vincent15000 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 20ms]

@mir86

var url = "{{ route('changeLang') }}";

console.log(url);

If the console shows only [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 20ms] after a console.log(url), that means that the url variable is empty.

@vincent15000 why of i pass the value ?

        <div class="col-md-4">
                <a href {{ session()->get('locale') == 'en' ? 'selected' : '' }}>English<a/>
                <a href {{ session()->get('locale') == 'fr' ? 'selected' : '' }}>France</a>
                <a href {{ session()->get('locale') == 'sp' ? 'selected' : '' }}>Spanish</a>
        </div>

i pass the value to controller get('locale') == 'fr' then i check with the curr value ? 'selected'

@mir86 Sorry from the beginning I should have noticed that.

<a href {{ session()->get('locale') == 'en' ? 'selected' : '' }}>English<a/>

You don't set any value to the href attribute and it can't work just like this.

You should have something like href="...", but you don't have any.

I understand that you have this code and that you want to perfect it, but according to me it's really not a good pratice to do like this.

@vincent15000 tried already this :

  <a href="{{ route('LangController.changeLang', ['lang' => 'en']) }}" >eng</a>
  <a href="{{ route('LangController.changeLang', ['lang' => 'fr']) }}" >fr</a>

not working either ;(

@mir86 Can you show this route definition please ?

@vincent15000

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/', [LangController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('lang/change', [LangController::class, 'change'])->name('changeLang');

@mir86 The route helper accepts as parameter the name of the route. So you should write the link like this.

<a href="{{ route('changeLang', ['lang' => 'en']) }}" >eng</a>

@vincent15000 Well syntax is correct ,but ,i need to pass the value to session ,not to the route ,to change the session.locale.

In your soluion it will pass it as route parameter ,not session ... still not sure ...

@mir86 Ok but this can't work because the route doesn't exist.

route('LangController.changeLang')

You don't have any route with this name.

What I understand now is that you want to pass the value to the session when you click on a link. The only way to pass datas from JS to PHP is using an HTTP request.

By using this link : <a href="{{ route('changeLang', ['lang' => 'en']) }}" >eng</a>, you will pass the lang parameter to the backend and then you can put it in the session.

In your LangController controller

public function change(Request $request)
{
		session(['locale' => $request->lang]);
}

@vincent15000

!The only way to pass datas from JS to PHP is using an HTTP request.!

That is the error i dod not considered ! That is root of my logic error ! I do thank you Vincent !

Now works just perfect

@mir86 Happy to help ;).
