TranslateableBehavior for Yii2
This behavior has been inspired by the great work of Mikehaertl's Translatable Behavior for Yii 1.*.
It eases the translation of ActiveRecord's attributes as it maps theme from a translation table into the main record. It also automatically loads application language by default.
Sample of use:
Installation
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
or add
to the require section of your application's composer.json
file.
Usage
Preparation
First you need to move all the attributes that require to be translated into a separated table. For example, imagine we wish to keep translations of title and description from our tour entity. Our schema should result on the following:
After we have modified our schema, now we need to define a relation in our ActiveRecord
object. The following example
assumes that we have already created a TourLang
model (see the schema above):
Finally, we need to attach our behavior.
Basic Usage
You may also set multiple translations directly:
Fallback language
In case no translation is available for a specific language the behavior allows to specify a fallback translation to load instead.
By default the fallback will use the application source language. It can be configured by setting the fallbackLanguage
property of the behavior.
Fallback language can be configured to be a single language or per language:
Additionally to the configurable fallback a fallback to non-localized language is applied automatically.
E.g. if no translation exists for de-AT
(German in Austria) the translation will fall back to de
.
The fallback goes further if de
is not found using the fallbackLanguage
configuration, so from the example
above it will then try en
.
When the fallback is defined in array format and no fallback can be found for a language, the first fallback is returned.
You may disable the fallback mechanism by setting fallbackLanguage
to false
.
If you want to configure fallback languages globally, you can do so by configuring the TranslateableBehavior
class
in Yii DI container:
Deleting translations
By default, when an active record is deleted, translation records are deleted in the afterSave
event.
However some database scenarios require different configuration, in case foreign keys restrict the deletion of records.
You may configure 'deleteEvent'
to be either ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_DELETE
or ActiveRecord::EVENT_AFTER_DELETE
to
control on which event the deletion of records should be performed.
You may set 'deleteEvent'
to false
to disable deletion and rely on DB foreign key cascade or implement your own method.
When using the Translateablebehavior in an ActiveRecord you should enable [transactions()](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-db-activerecord#transactions()-detail) for the delete operation.
