Create Labels for Nova Resources with different languages.

~~Dynamically Manage Labels for Nova Resources

This document details how to dynamically manage labels for Nova resources using the bitcodesa/nova-label package.

Installation

Install the package using Composer:

composer require bitcodesa/nova-label

Usage

Include ResourceLabel:

In App/Nova/Resource.php, extend the NovaResource class and add the ResourceLabel trait:

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Bitcodesa\NovaLabel\ResourceLabel;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use Laravel\Nova\Resource as NovaResource;

abstract class Resource extends NovaResource
{
    use ResourceLabel;

    // ...
}

Generate Labels:~~

Use the self::attribute() method to generate field labels. This method handles both field name and database attribute:

Text::make(...self::attribute('name')); // field name and attribute same

Optional Parameters:

Attribute name:

Specify a different database attribute name:

Text::make(...self::attribute('name', 'fullName')); // field name: name, attribute: fullName

Title only:

Return only the attribute title:

Text::make(self::attribute('name', title_only: true));

Handle Relationships:

For relationship fields, pass the corresponding resource class as the first parameter to self::relation():

BelongsTo::make(...self::relation(\App\Nova\User::class, many: false)); // One-to-one relationship

Relationship Label Customization:

Similar to field labels, you can customize relationship labels with title and relation parameters:

HasMany::make(...self::relation(\App\Nova\Task::class, title: "Tasks", relation: "tasks"));

Change File Name:

you can change file name for any resource by override getLangPath() function:

public static function getLangPath()
{
    return "Users";
}

Change Resource Name:

you can change file name for any resource by override getLangName() function:

public static function getLangName()
{
    return "Admin";
}

Localization

File Structure

Each resource has a dedicated localization file for field and other translations. The file structure should follow:

<?php

return [
    // Resource name in singular and plural form
    "resource" => "Resource",
    "resources" => "Resources",

    // Button labels
    "buttons" => [
        "create" => "Create Resource",
        "update" => "Update Resource",
    ],

    // Attributes
    "attributes" => [
        // Translate each attribute name
        "created_at" => __("created_at"),
        // ...
    ],

    // Additional sections (optional)
];

Create Localization Files

To create a new localization file for a specific resource and language:

php artisan make:label ResourceName LanguageSample

For example, to create an Arabic translation file for the Book resource:

php artisan make:label Book ar

This command generates a file at Lang/ar/Book.php. Translate each line in the file according to your needs.

Note: Run php artisan migrate before creating the localization file to ensure all column names are available for translation.
