tongue()->detect() with Laravel Octane

[Legoraccio]

Hi, I'm trying to use Laravel-Tongue with Laravel Octane. All works as expected, except for the automatic language detection by client settings.

So, if I access the application with a language (IT in my case) that is different from the default (EN), the tongue()->detect(); do not detect the correct language.

I run the tongue()->detect() fun from a custom middleware, because the boot() function in Octane run only at server startup.

Laravel version: 10.15.0 Tongue version: 5.0.0

This is the middleware:

class Localize
{
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
    {
        tongue()->detect();
        Carbon::setLocale(tongue()->current());

        Log::debug("Localize: ".tongue()->current());

        return $next($request);
    }
}

And my localization.php

<?php

    /*

If I change manually the language with https://it.foo.bar, all works.

Any idea? Thanks!

I solve setting the 'cookie_localization' => false in config. It stills a bug?

[guestpectacular]

Stills, but you can workaround this issue creating a middleware and moving "tongue()->detect()" inside.

[BugHunterLooper]

is there any solution for this problem?

[BugHunterLooper]

solved :

1. Create the Listener Class:

// app/Listeners/DetectLanguageListener.php

namespace App\Listeners;

use Laravel\Octane\Events\RequestReceived;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

class DetectLanguageListener
{
    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  RequestReceived  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(RequestReceived $event)
    {
        // Extract the request object from the event
        $request = $event->request;

        // Detect the user's locale and set it
        tongue()->detect();

        // Set the locale for Carbon dates
        Carbon::setLocale(tongue()->current());

        // Log the current locale for debugging purposes
        Log::debug("Localize: " . tongue()->current());
    }
}

2. Updated octane.php:

// config/octane.php

use Laravel\Octane\Events\RequestReceived;
use App\Listeners\DetectLanguageListener;

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Octane Listeners
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | All of the event listeners for Octane's events are defined below. These
    | listeners are responsible for resetting your application's state for
    | the next request. You may even add your own listeners to the list.
    |
    */

    'listeners' => [
        WorkerStarting::class => [
            EnsureUploadedFilesAreValid::class,
            EnsureUploadedFilesCanBeMoved::class,
        ],

        RequestReceived::class => [
            ...Octane::prepareApplicationForNextOperation(),
            ...Octane::prepareApplicationForNextRequest(),
            DetectLanguageListener::class, // Add this line
        ],
