Laravel 9+ Language Directory Fix

Problem

In Laravel 9+, the default language directory has moved from /resources/lang to /lang. The Laravel Logger package was still using the old structure, which could cause confusion and conflicts.

Solution

Updated the package to support both Laravel 9+ and older versions:

Changes Made:

  1. Moved language files from /src/resources/lang/ to /src/lang/
  2. Updated ServiceProvider to detect and use the appropriate structure
  3. Added backward compatibility for older Laravel versions
  4. Updated publish commands to support both structures

ServiceProvider Updates:

// Load translations from new Laravel 9+ structure if available, fallback to old structure
if (is_dir(__DIR__.'/lang/')) {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/lang/', 'LaravelLogger');
} else {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/resources/lang/', 'LaravelLogger');
}

Publishing Updates:

// Publish language files to Laravel 9+ structure if available, fallback to old structure
if (is_dir(__DIR__.'/lang/')) {
    // Laravel 9+ structure
    $this->publishes([
        __DIR__.'/lang' => base_path('lang/vendor/'.$publishTag),
    ], $publishTag);
    
    // Also publish to old structure for backward compatibility
    $this->publishes([
        __DIR__.'/lang' => base_path('resources/lang/vendor/'.$publishTag),
    ], $publishTag.'-legacy');
} else {
    // Old structure fallback
    $this->publishes([
        __DIR__.'/resources/lang' => base_path('resources/lang/vendor/'.$publishTag),
    ], $publishTag);
}

Benefits:

  • ✅ Laravel 9+ Compatible - Uses new /lang directory structure
  • ✅ Backward Compatible - Still works with older Laravel versions
  • ✅ No Breaking Changes - Existing installations continue to work
  • ✅ Future Proof - Ready for Laravel 10+ and beyond

Usage:

Laravel 9+ Projects:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=LaravelLogger
# Language files will be published to /lang/vendor/LaravelLogger/

Legacy Laravel Projects:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=LaravelLogger-legacy
# Language files will be published to /resources/lang/vendor/LaravelLogger/
