The package provides message storage backend based on PHP arrays to be used with [`yiisoft/translator`](https://github.com/yiisoft/translator) package.
## Requirements
- PHP 8.0 - 8.5.
## Installation
The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):
```shell
composer require yiisoft/translator-message-php
```
## General usage
The package is meant to be used with [`yiisoft/translator`](https://github.com/yiisoft/translator):
```php
use Yiisoft\Translator\CategorySource;
use Yiisoft\Translator\IntlMessageFormatter;
use Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Php\MessageSource;
$categorySource = new CategorySource(
'my-category',
new MessageSource('/path/to/messages'),
new IntlMessageFormatter(),
);
```
The examples below are about using it separately.
### Create an instance of message source
```php
/** @var string $path - full path to your translations */
$messageSource = new \Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Php\MessageSource($path);
```
### Read a message without `yiisoft/translator` package
```php
/**
* @var \Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Php\MessageSource $messageSource
* @var ?string $translatedString
*/
$id = 'messageIdentifier';
$category = 'messageCategory';
$language = 'de-DE';
$translatedString = $messageSource->getMessage($id, $category, $language);
```
### Write an array of messages to storage
```php
/**
* @var \Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Php\MessageSource $messageSource
*/
$category = 'messageCategory';
$language = 'de-DE';
$data = [
'test.id1' => [
'message' => 'Nachricht 1', // translated string
'comment' => 'Comment for message 1', // is optional parameter for save extra metadata
],
'test.id2' => [
'message' => 'Nachricht 2',
],
'test.id3' => [
'message' => 'Nachricht 3',
],
];
$messageSource->write($category, $language, $data);
```
The following structure will be created after writing:
```
📁 path_to_your_storage
📁 de-DE
🗎 messageCategory.php
```
