This package contains a trait `HasTranslations` to make Eloquent models translatable. Translations are stored as json. There is no extra table needed to hold them.

```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Spatie\Translatable\HasTranslations;

class NewsItem extends Model
{
    use HasTranslations;
    
    public $translatable = ['name']; // translatable attributes

    // ...
}
```

After the trait is applied on the model you can do these things:

```php
$newsItem = new NewsItem;
$newsItem
   ->setTranslation('name', 'en', 'Name in English')
   ->setTranslation('name', 'nl', 'Naam in het Nederlands')
   ->save();

$newsItem->name; // Returns 'Name in English' given that the current app locale is 'en'
$newsItem->getTranslation('name', 'nl'); // returns 'Naam in het Nederlands'

app()->setLocale('nl');
$newsItem->name; // Returns 'Naam in het Nederlands'

$newsItem->getTranslations('name'); // returns an array of all name translations

// You can translate nested keys of a JSON column using the -> notation
// First, add the path to the $translatable array, e.g., 'meta->description'
$newsItem
   ->setTranslation('meta->description', 'en', 'Description in English')
   ->setTranslation('meta->description', 'nl', 'Beschrijving in het Nederlands')
   ->save();

$attributeKey = 'meta->description';
$newsItem->$attributeKey; // Returns 'Description in English'
$newsItem->getTranslation('meta->description', 'nl'); // Returns 'Beschrijving in het Nederlands'
```

Also providing scoped queries for retrieving records based on locales

```php
// Returns all news items with a name in English
NewsItem::whereLocale('name', 'en')->get();

// Returns all news items with a name in English or Dutch
NewsItem::whereLocales('name', ['en', 'nl'])->get();

// Returns all news items that has name in English with value `Name in English` 
NewsItem::query()->whereJsonContainsLocale('name', 'en', 'Name in English')->get();

// Returns all news items that has name in English or Dutch with value `Name in English` 
NewsItem::query()->whereJsonContainsLocales('name', ['en', 'nl'], 'Name in English')->get();

// The last argument is the "operand" which you can tweak to achieve something like this:

// Returns all news items that has name in English with value like `Name in...` 
NewsItem::query()->whereJsonContainsLocale('name', 'en', 'Name in%', 'like')->get();

// Returns all news items that has name in English or Dutch with value like `Name in...` 
NewsItem::query()->whereJsonContainsLocales('name', ['en', 'nl'], 'Name in%', 'like')->get();
```
