Implement translatable collection.

[sten]

I implemented the translatable collection.

I had to remove the cast to collection of the values column, because laravel-translatable casts all translatable columns to array.

As @atmonshi mentioned in #359, this feature is not compatible with existing data. I looked a bit at options to fix this via the booted() function of a model, but there is no event when data is loaded into the model. One option would be override the getTranslation() function on the model, but this is a complicated function, causing this implementation to break in the future.

I think the cleanest way is probably to create a migration script. This should be quite easy and can be done on query level, see spatie/laravel-translatable#111
What do you think?

PR Summary

• Enhanced Translation Support
  Introduced Translatable concern and HasTranslations trait in CreateCollection.php, EditCollection.php, ListCollections.php, and Collection.php. These modifications build a foundation to support different languages for our users.

• Added Locale Switching Functionality
  Incorporated the LocaleSwitcher in various places (getHeaderActions method) within CreateCollection.php, EditCollection.php, and ListCollections.php. This new feature will allow users to switch languages easily.

• Updated Data Structure
  In Collection.php, updated the format for name and values. Both are now under the public $translatable instead of the $casts. This helps in keeping translated elements in a unified manner.

• Enhanced Data Management
  A new getValuesAttribute method has been added in Collection.php which aids in casting values into a collection format. This implementation improves data handling overall and augments the usability of translated values.

I'll get into it this Friday, in the mean time, I added to the demo app and let the community helps with this
I'll keep an eye if we got any issues

how the values stored on the db in your app?
I got this:

{"en":{"fb8d4b1f-0f21-457f-a055-de42cbdc9856":{"itemValue":"key 1","itemKey":"1","itemIsDefault":false},"1a2c6a3e-66c9-47e8-8a9b-7789c3a9b619":{"itemValue":"key 2","itemKey":"2","itemIsDefault":false}},"es":[{"itemValue":"key es","itemKey":"1","itemIsDefault":false},{"itemValue":"key es 2","itemKey":"2","itemIsDefault":false}],"pt":[{"itemValue":"en","itemKey":"1","itemIsDefault":false}],"ko":[{"itemValue":"en","itemKey":"1","itemIsDefault":false}]}

i think its related to the Translatable plugin bug. so I have to check that first.
another point: if the item key is different per lang, the values wont show in the show response page.
lets say the user fill the form with the active lang: ES. and in the admin I view the response with EN, the value wont show.

I think now I remember why I didnt enable the translatable for collection haha.

either way I'll try my best to address these issues, in the mean time, you may consider using the fork.

also check this one:
I managed to handle the old values without the need for a migration or a command:

bolt/src/Models/Collection.php

Line 66 in 4bd122e

protected function values(): Attribute

@atmonshi I have the same format:

{"nl":{"5389a60a-7773-42a0-ba8a-f1a8f87705d9":{"itemValue":"Test NL","itemKey":"test","itemIsDefault":false}},"fr":[{"itemValue":"Test FR","itemKey":"test","itemIsDefault":false},{"itemValue":"Test 2 FR","itemKey":"test2","itemIsDefault":false}]}

What spatie-translatable bug are you talking about?

With regard to having all items in each language, I have also been pondering the options. But it is complicated, you can consider adding them automatically to each language (e.g. on the saving event), but for deletion it is maybe less save to remove them in all languages, or we need to add a tooltip on the delete button that explains this.

What spatie-translatable bug are you talking about?

this one: lara-zeus/translatable#23

adding them automatically

this sound like a good idea, also was thinking about enable the keys for the default language only and disable it for others.

will continue after the weekend, happy friday :)
