French: Requested as: GET /recherche?terms_de_recherche=Pirates HTTP/1.0 Accept-Language: fr Dispatched as: GET /search?searchTerms=Pirates HTTP/1.0 Accept-Language: fr $c->uri_for('/search'): http://localhost/recherche German: Requested as: GET /suche?searchTerms=Pirates HTTP/1.0 Accept-Language: de Dispatched as: GET /search?searchTerms=Pirates HTTP/1.0 Accept-Language: de $c->uri_for('/search'): http://localhost/suche =head1 DESCRIPTION This plugin is designed to work alongside Catalyst::Plugin::I18N in order to provide localization / delocalization of request paths and request parameter names. =head1 DELOCALIZATION Delocalization occurs when a request is first received, before any dispatching takes place. Delocalization assumes that there may exist paths or parameter names within the request which do not correlate to actual names used within the application itself. When functioning properly, this plugin will allow users to activate an action called 'search' using: 'recherche' (French requests) 'suche' (German requests) etc... This relies on the localize method provided to the application by Catalyst::Plugin::I18N. For the above examples to work, the following localizations must occur: Key | Localized text | Language ========================================================== PATH_delocalize_recherche | search | French PATH_delocalize_suche | search | German That is, $c->localize('PATH_delocalize_recherche') must return 'search'. A very similar behaviour applies to parameter names within the query string. The keys for these delocalizations begin with 'PARAMETER_delocalize_' instead of 'PATH_delocalize_'. =head1 LOCALIZATION Localization involves taking paths and parameter names and replacing them with values which make more sense to users speaking the requested language. In the above example, 'search' may not look intuitive to German users. Out of the box, this plugin allows you to localize these values transparently via the standard $c->uri_for and $c->request->uri_with methods which are already standard features of the Catalyst framework. Like delocalization, this functionality depends upon the $c->localize method. However, PATH_delocalize_ is replaced with PATH_localize and PARAMETER_delocalize_ is replaced with PARAMETER_localize_. Key | Localized text | Language ========================================================== PATH_localize_search | recherche | French PATH_localize_search | suche | German =head1 METHODS =head2 setup ( ) Allows Catalyst::Request to localize the results of calls to uri_with. =cut sub setup { my $self = shift; $self->next::method( @_ ); no strict 'refs'; no warnings 'redefine'; my $uri_with = \&Catalyst::Request::uri_with; *Catalyst::Request::uri_with = sub { my ($request) = @_; my $uri = $uri_with->( @_ ); return $request->{_context}->localize_uri( $uri ); }; } =head2 uri_for ( $path [, @args ] [, \%query_values ] ) Calls the native uri_for, but proceeds to localize the resulting path and query values. =cut sub uri_for { my $c = shift; $c->localize_uri( $c->next::method( @_ ) ); } =head2 localize_uri ( $uri ) Localizes a URI using the current context. =cut sub localize_uri { my ($c, $uri) = @_; return undef unless defined $uri; $uri = URI->new( $uri ) unless Scalar::Util::blessed( $uri ); # parameters my $query_form = $uri->query_form_hash; # decode all strings for character logic rather than byte logic for my $value ( values %$query_form ) { for ( ref $value eq 'ARRAY' ? @$value : $value ) { $_ = "$_"; utf8::decode( $_ ); } } # localize the parameters my $parameters = $c->localize_parameters( $query_form ); # encode all strings for byte logic rather than character logic for my $value ( values %$parameters ) { for ( ref $value eq 'ARRAY' ? @$value : $value ) { $_ = "$_"; utf8::encode( $_ ); } } $uri->query_form_hash( $parameters ); # path $uri->path( $c->localize_path( $uri->path ) ); return $uri; } =head2 localize_path ( $path ) Localizes all components of the provided path. =cut sub localize_path { my ($c, $path) = @_; return undef unless defined $path; return join '/', map { $c->localize_path_component( $_ ) } split m!/!, $path; } =head2 delocalize_path ( $path ) Delocalizes all components of the provided path. =cut sub delocalize_path { my ($c, $path) = @_; return undef unless defined $path; return join '/', map { $c->delocalize_path_component( $_ ) } split m!/!, $path; } =head2 transform_parameters ( \%parameters, $transformer ) Transforms the given parameter names using the given transformer.
