Class yii\i18n\DbMessageSource

Inheritanceyii\i18n\DbMessageSource » yii\i18n\MessageSource » yii\base\Component » yii\base\BaseObject
Implementsyii\base\Configurable
Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/i18n/DbMessageSource.php

DbMessageSource extends yii\i18n\MessageSource and represents a message source that stores translated messages in database.

The database must contain the following two tables: source_message and message.

The source_message table stores the messages to be translated, and the message table stores the translated messages. The name of these two tables can be customized by setting $sourceMessageTable and $messageTable, respectively.

The database connection is specified by $db. Database schema could be initialized by applying migration:

yii migrate --migrationPath=@yii/i18n/migrations/

If you don't want to use migration and need SQL instead, files for all databases are in migrations directory.

Property Details

$cache public property

The cache object or the application component ID of the cache object. The messages data will be cached using this cache object. Note, that to enable caching you have to set $enableCaching to true, otherwise setting this property has no effect.

After the DbMessageSource object is created, if you want to change this property, you should only assign it with a cache object.

Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

See also:

$cachingDuration public property

The time in seconds that the messages can remain valid in cache. Use 0 to indicate that the cached data will never expire.

See also $enableCaching.

$db public property

The DB connection object or the application component ID of the DB connection.

After the DbMessageSource object is created, if you want to change this property, you should only assign it with a DB connection object.

Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

$enableCaching public property

Whether to enable caching translated messages

public boolean $enableCaching false
$messageTable public property

The name of the translated message table.

public string $messageTable '{{%message}}'
$sourceMessageTable public property

The name of the source message table.

public string $sourceMessageTable '{{%source_message}}'

Method Details

createFallbackQuery() protected method (available since version 2.0.7)

The method builds the yii\db\Query object for the fallback language messages search.

Normally is called from loadMessagesFromDb().

See also loadMessagesFromDb().

protected yii\db\Query createFallbackQuery ( $category, $language, $fallbackLanguage )
$category string

The message category

$language string

The originally requested language

$fallbackLanguage string

The target fallback language

init() public method

Initializes the DbMessageSource component.

This method will initialize the $db property to make sure it refers to a valid DB connection. Configured $cache component would also be initialized.

public void init ( )
throws yii\base\InvalidConfigException

if $db is invalid or $cache is invalid.

loadMessages() protected method

Loads the message translation for the specified language and category.

If translation for specific locale code such as en-US isn't found it tries more generic en.

protected array loadMessages ( $category, $language )
$category string

The message category

$language string

The target language

return array

The loaded messages. The keys are original messages, and the values are translated messages.

loadMessagesFromDb() protected method

Loads the messages from database.

You may override this method to customize the message storage in the database.

protected array loadMessagesFromDb ( $category, $language )
$category string

The message category.

$language string

The target language.

return array

The messages loaded from database.
