Problem with use_property_fallback - returns null.

[PitchRE]

As title;

Config

    'locales' => [
        'en_US',
        'ja_JP',
        'pl_PL'

    ],

  'locale' => null,
   'use_fallback' => true,
 'use_property_fallback' => true,
'fallback_locale' => 'en_US',

Code

    app()->setLocale('en_US');
    $item = Item::factory()->create();

    app()->setLocale('ja_JP');

    $item->update(['ja_JP' => [
        'name' => Item::factory()->make()->name
    ]]);

    //// slug for ja_JP is always null;

    return $item->translate('ja_JP', true);

Output

{
"locale": "ja_JP",
"name": "加納 裕太",
"item_id": 22,
"id": 43
}

I excepted 'slug' and 'description' property to not be null.

$item->getTranslationsArray() outputs

{
"en_US": {
"name": "Jazlyn Kunze",
"description": "Minus eos et nulla quia sint vel vel eveniet. Enim dolor omnis quod quia quos nihil ipsum. Odio et cum quis praesentium ut et perferendis. Mollitia sint debitis at. Ut magnam quia dolorum qui.",
"slug": "jazlyn-kunze"
},
"ja_JP": {
"name": "小林 美加子",
"description": null,
"slug": null
}
}

What do I do incorrectly?

[Gummibeer]

translate() returns the translation model instance - which will be ja_JP as requested. If you want to use the property fallback you should use $item->slug - these will use the property fallback as you request a specific model attribute.

Thank you for clarification. So I guess there is no way to make use of property fallback feature without changing locale globally in the app?

You can also pass the locale as part of the attribute $post->{'title:de'}. https://docs.astrotomic.info/laravel-translatable/usage/attributes
