Application Integration

Stand-Alone

All filters, validators, view-helpers and the translator of zend-i18n can also be used stand-alone.

Translator

Setup

Create a file for the translation messages. For example languages/de_DE.php:

return [
    'car'   => 'Auto',
    'train' => 'Zug',
];

Create the translator instance and add the translation file.

$translator = new Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator();
$translator->addTranslationFile(
    Zend\I18n\Translator\Loader\PhpArray::class,
    __DIR__ . '/languages/de_DE.php',
    'default',
    'de_DE'
);

Translate Messages

$translator->setLocale('de_DE');

echo $translator->translate('car');   // Auto
echo $translator->translate('train'); // Zug

Filters

Each filter can be used directly.

$filter = new Zend\I18n\Filter\Alnum();

echo $filter->filter("This is (my) content: 123"); // "Thisismycontent123"

Using Filter Plugin Manager

Register all standard filters of zend-i18n in the filter-plugin-manager:

$filterManager = new Zend\Filter\FilterPluginManager(
    new Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager()
);
$filterManager->configure(
    (new Zend\I18n\ConfigProvider())->getFilterConfig()
);

Get a filter:

/** @var Zend\I18n\Filter\Alnum $filter */
$filter = $filterManager->get(Zend\I18n\Filter\Alnum::class);

Validators

Each validator can be used directly.

$validator = new Zend\I18n\Validator\Alnum();

if ($validator->isValid('Abcd12')) {
    // value contains only allowed chars
} else {
    // false
}

Using Validator Plugin Manager

Register all standard validators of zend-i18n in the validator-plugin-manager:

$validatorManager = new Zend\Validator\ValidatorPluginManager(
    new Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager()
);
$validatorManager->configure(
    (new Zend\I18n\ConfigProvider())->getValidatorConfig()
);

Get a validator:

/** @var Zend\I18n\Validator\Alnum $validator */
$validator = $validatorManager->get(Zend\I18n\Validator\Alnum::class);

View Helpers

Setup zend-view

Create the renderer:

$renderer = new Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer();

Register all standard view-helpers of zend-i18n in the helper-plugin-manager:

$renderer->getHelperPluginManager()->configure(
    (new Zend\I18n\ConfigProvider())->getViewHelperConfig()
);

Using Helper

echo $renderer->currencyFormat(1234.56, 'USD', null, 'en_US'); // "$1,234.56"
