Is there any way to get all language lines in CodeIgniter 4? - php

Question

In CodeIgniter 3 was ability to get all language lines as array with:
$this->lang->language
It is very useful for views - no need to list all the required language fields and just add all of them (from the loaded language files).
Is it possible to do that in CodeIgniter 4?

Answer 1

Here is my Solution.
Create an App\Libraries Class and extends Language.
App\Libraries\I18n.php
<?php
namespace App\Libraries;
use CodeIgniter\Language\Language;
class I18n extends Language {
public function GetAllLanguage($with_class = false) {
$result = array();
$lang_arr = $this->language[$this->locale];
if ($with_class == true) {
return $lang_arr;
}
foreach ($lang_arr as $key => $value) {
$result += $lang_arr[$key];
}
return $result;
}
}
you can add method or something in this Libraries Class.
then Add this code in app\Config\Services.php
<?php
namespace Config;
use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseService;
use Config\Services as AppServices;
use Locale;
class Services extends BaseService
{
//override Language
//source code from system\Config\Services.php
public static function Language($locale = null, $getShared = true) {
if ($getShared) {
return static::getSharedInstance('language', $locale)->setLocale($locale);
}
if (AppServices::request() instanceof IncomingRequest) {
$requestLocale = AppServices::request()->getLocale();
} else {
$requestLocale = Locale::getDefault();
}
// Use '?:' for empty string check
$locale = $locale ?: $requestLocale;
return new \App\Libraries\I18n($locale); //override use Libraries
}
}
then you can use in controller.
when I have two Language file.
( Language\zh-TW\Menu.php 、 Language\zh-TW\Text.php)
$lang = \Config\Services::Language();
$lang->GetAllLanguage();
/**
array(157) {
["Login"] => "登入",
["BaseData"] => "基本資料",
...
["refresh"] => "刷新",
["AccountInfo"] => "使用者資訊",
["system_msg"] => "系統訊息",
...
}
**/
$lang = \Config\Services::Language();
$lang->GetAllLanguage(true);
/**
array(2) {
["Menu"]=>
array(26) {
["Login"] => "登入",
["BaseData"] => "基本資料"
...
},
["Text"]=>
array(131) {
["refresh"] => "刷新",
["AccountInfo"] => "使用者資訊",
["system_msg"] => "系統訊息",
...
}
}
**/
that it work.
