PhpMessageSource extends MessageSource
in package

PhpMessageSource represents a message source that stores translated messages in PHP scripts.

PhpMessageSource uses PHP arrays to keep message translations.

  • Each PHP script contains one array which stores the message translations in one particular language and for a single message category;
  • Each PHP script is saved as a file named as "[[basePath]]/LanguageID/CategoryName.php";
  • Within each PHP script, the message translations are returned as an array like the following:
return [
    'original message 1' => 'translated message 1',
    'original message 2' => 'translated message 2',
];

You may use [[fileMap]] to customize the association between category names and the file names.

MissingTranslationEvent an event that is triggered when a message translation is not found.

Properties

$basePath

public string $basePath = '@app/messages'

the base path for all translated messages. Defaults to '@app/messages'.

$behaviors read-only

public array<string|int, Behavior> $behaviors

List of behaviors attached to this component.

$fileMap

public array<string|int, mixed> $fileMap

Methods

__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

public __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $params) : mixed

This method will check if any attached behavior has the named method and will execute it if available.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

Parameters
$name : string

the method name

$params : array<string|int, mixed>

method parameters

Tags
throws
UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

Return values
mixed

__clone()

This method is called after the object is created by cloning an existing one.

public __clone() : mixed

It removes all behaviors because they are attached to the old object.

__construct()

Constructor.

public __construct([array<string|int, mixed> $config = [] ]) : mixed

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call [[init()]].

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
Parameters
$config : array<string|int, mixed> = []

name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

__get()

Returns the value of a component property.

public __get(string $name) : mixed

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a getter: return the getter result
  • a property of a behavior: return the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $component->property;.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name

throws
UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws
InvalidCallException

if the property is write-only.

see

attachBehavior()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

public attachBehavior(string $name, string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior $behavior) : Behavior

This method will create the behavior object based on the given configuration. After that, the behavior object will be attached to this component by calling the [[Behavior::attach()]] method.

Parameters
$name : string

the name of the behavior.

$behavior : string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior

the behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

  • a [[Behavior]] object
  • a string specifying the behavior class
  • an object configuration array that will be passed to [[Yii::createObject()]] to create the behavior object.
Tags
see
detachBehavior()
Return values
Behavior

the behavior object

attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

public attachBehaviors(array<string|int, mixed> $behaviors) : mixed

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a [[Behavior]] object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

Parameters
$behaviors : array<string|int, mixed>

list of behaviors to be attached to the component

Tags
see
attachBehavior()

behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

public behaviors() : array<string|int, mixed>

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from [[Behavior]]. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using [[getBehavior()]] or be detached using [[detachBehavior()]]. Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

the behavior configurations.

on()

Attaches an event handler to an event.

public on(string $name, callable $handler[, mixed $data = null ][, bool $append = true ]) : mixed

The event handler must be a valid PHP callback. The following are some examples:

function ($event) { ... }         // anonymous function
[$object, 'handleClick']          // $object->handleClick()
['Page', 'handleClick']           // Page::handleClick()
'handleClick'                     // global function handleClick()

The event handler must be defined with the following signature,

function ($event)

where $event is an [[Event]] object which includes parameters associated with the event.

Since 2.0.14 you can specify event name as a wildcard pattern:

$component->on('event.group.*', function ($event) {
    Yii::trace($event->name . ' is triggered.');
});
Parameters
$name : string

the event name

$handler : callable

the event handler

$data : mixed = null

the data to be passed to the event handler when the event is triggered. When the event handler is invoked, this data can be accessed via [[Event::data]].

$append : bool = true

whether to append new event handler to the end of the existing handler list. If false, the new handler will be inserted at the beginning of the existing handler list.

$message : string

the message to be translated

$language : string

the target language

Return values
string|bool

the translated message or false if translation wasn't found or isn't required

trigger()

Triggers an event.

public trigger(string $name[, Event|null $event = null ]) : mixed

This method represents the happening of an event. It invokes all attached handlers for the event including class-level handlers.

Parameters
$name : string

the event name

$event : Event|null = null

the event instance. If not set, a default [[Event]] object will be created.

getMessageFilePath()

Returns message file path for the specified language and category.

protected getMessageFilePath(string $category, string $language) : string
Parameters
$category : string

the message category

$language : string

the target language

Return values
string

path to message file

loadFallbackMessages()

The method is normally called by [[loadMessages]] to load the fallback messages for the language.

protected loadFallbackMessages(string $category, string $fallbackLanguage, array<string|int, mixed> $messages, string $originalMessageFile) : array<string|int, mixed>

Method tries to load the $category messages for the $fallbackLanguage and adds them to the $messages array.

Parameters
$category : string

the message category

$fallbackLanguage : string

the target fallback language

$messages : array<string|int, mixed>

the array of previously loaded translation messages. The keys are original messages, and the values are the translated messages.

$originalMessageFile : string

the path to the file with messages. Used to log an error message in case when no translations were found.

Tags
since
2.0.7
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

the loaded messages. The keys are original messages, and the values are the translated messages.

loadMessages()

Loads the message translation for the specified $language and $category.

protected loadMessages(string $category, string $language) : array<string|int, mixed>

If translation for specific locale code such as en-US isn't found it tries more generic en. When both are present, the en-US messages will be merged over en. See [[loadFallbackMessages]] for details. If the $language is less specific than [[sourceLanguage]], the method will try to load the messages for [[sourceLanguage]]. For example: [[sourceLanguage]] is en-GB, $language is en. The method will load the messages for en and merge them over en-GB.

Parameters
$category : string

the message category

$language : string

the target language

protected loadMessagesFromFile(string $messageFile) : array<string|int, mixed>|null
Parameters
$messageFile : string

path to message file

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>|null

array of messages or null if file not found

translateMessage()

Translates the specified message.

protected translateMessage(string $category, string $message, string $language) : string|bool

If the message is not found, a [[EVENT_MISSING_TRANSLATION|missingTranslation]] event will be triggered. If there is an event handler, it may provide a [[MissingTranslationEvent::$translatedMessage|fallback translation]]. If no fallback translation is provided this method will return false.

Parameters
$category : string

the category that the message belongs to.

$message : string

the message to be translated.

$language : string

the target language.

Return values
string|bool

the translated message or false if translation wasn't found.
