How it works

Basically this addon creates a new relationship called translations to main model and delegates it's translatable attributes to the translation model.

So in order to work, you need to create a new model translations for your main model, add a trait and configure it.

How to use

Let's say we have a model App/Models/Role and want to translate the name and description attributes, in order to do that follow the next steps.

1. Let's create the translation table for the model App/Models/Role.

schema.createTable('roles_translations', (table) => {
  table.increments()
  table.timestamps()
  /*
   * Translation fields
   */
  table.string('name').nullable()
  table.text('description').nullable()
  table.integer('role_id').unsigned()
  table.string('language_code')
})

2. Now let's create the translation model App/Models/RoleTranslation

const Model = app.use('Model')
class RoleTranslation extends Model {
  static get table () {
    return 'roles_translations'
  }
}

3. Next, we need to add a trait to the main model (App/Models/Role) and configure the options

const Model = app.use('Model')
class Role extends Model {
  static boot () {
    super.boot()
    this.addTrait('Translatable', {
      className: 'App/Models/RoleTranslation',
      attributes: ['name', 'description']
    })
  }
}

Translatable trait options

• className: The name of the translation model. Defaults to: ''.
• primaryKey: This is the primary key that will be used to create the translation relationship. Defaults to: Model.primaryKey.
• foreignKey: This is the foreign key that will be used to create the translation relationship. Defaults to: ${singlularized_table_name}_id.
• attributes: The list of attributes that we wish to be delegated to the translation model.
