Examples

Example files in project folder.

Locale::locales() looking for config/locale.php, set optional parameter to true for raw url generation Locale::router() return Laravel Router instance and only accept [get, post, put, delete, patch] methods

Generate route:cache for all of your languages

1 arg: If your routes lang file don't contain the route name, use as raw Uri 2 arg: Route name 3 arg: Action 4 arg: Localization short code

// routes.php
foreach ( Locale::codes( true ) as $code ) {
// or 
//foreach ( Locale::locales( true ) as $code => $locale ) {
   Route::group( [
	   'namespace' => '\App\Http\Controllers' ,
	   'prefix' => $code , 
	   ] , function() use( $code ) {

	  Locale::router()->get( '/' , 'home' , 'HomeController@index' , $code );
	  Locale::router()->get( 'routes.news' , 'news' , 'HomeController@news' , $code );
	  Locale::router()->post( 'login' , 'login' , 'AuthController@login' , $code );
   } );
}

Result:

GET|HEAD /              | home     | App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@index
GET|HEAD news           | news     | App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@news
