Hello zura. Your videos are amazing. They really provide great value and insights. How did you set up phpstorm with the yii code suggestions (hints)? Can we do it in VS code or sublime text?

Great video!
I have been thinking what could be the best way to provide language texts for javascripts.
I think include a generated content from message dir could be enough.
What response should I use?
Return a js file?


return language = '.json_encode($language, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE) .';', 'language.js');
or just a simple echo?

return 'let language = '.json_encode($language) .';';


What do you think master yii? :)


class LanguageController extends Controller
{
private $dir;
private $sourceLanguage;
private $language;

public function init()
{
parent::init();

$this->sourceLanguage = Yii::$app->sourceLanguage;
$this->language = Yii::$app->language;
}

public function actionIndex()
{
$language = $this->loadDir($this->dir . '/' . $this->sourceLanguage . '/');
$language = array_merge($language, $this->loadDir($this->dir . '/' . $this->language . '/'));

return 'let language = '.json_encode($language) .';';
}

public function actionFile(string $file, $code = null)
{
$language = $this->loadFile($this->dir . '/' . $this->sourceLanguage . '/' .$file);
$language = array_merge($language, $this->loadFile($this->dir . '/' . $code ?? $this->language . '/' .$file));

//return language = '.json_encode($language, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE) .';', 'language.js');

return 'let language = '.json_encode($language) .';';
}

private function loadFile(string $path): array
{
$language = array();

$file = $path . '.php';

if (is_file($file)) {
$language = include $file;
}

return $language;
}

private function loadDir(string $dir): array
{
$language = array();
$files = array();

if (is_dir($dir)) {
$files = scandir($dir);
}

foreach ($files as $file) {
if (is_file($dir.'/'.$file)) {
$language[basename($file, '.php')] = include $dir.'/'.$file;
}
}

return $language;
}
}
