IsTranslatable

Namespace: Unusualify\Modularous\Entities\Traits\IsTranslatable

A single-method detection helper. Does not add relationships, boot hooks, or any storage. Use it alongside HasTranslation to safely check at runtime whether a model is translatable without assuming the trait is present.

Methods

Method	Signature	Description
isTranslatable	(array|string|null $columns = null): bool	Returns true if the model uses HasTranslation, has $translatedAttributes, and — when $columns is provided — those columns are in $translatedAttributes

Checks performed

1. Model uses Unusualify\Modularous\Entities\Traits\HasTranslation
2. Model has the translatedAttributes property
3. If $columns is given, at least one column must be in translatedAttributes

Usage

use Unusualify\Modularous\Entities\Traits\HasTranslation;
use Unusualify\Modularous\Entities\Traits\IsTranslatable;

class Article extends Model
{
    use HasTranslation, IsTranslatable;

    public $translatedAttributes = ['title', 'body'];
}

$article->isTranslatable();           // true — model uses HasTranslation
$article->isTranslatable('title');    // true — title is translatable
$article->isTranslatable(['title', 'status']); // true — at least one is translatable
$article->isTranslatable('status');   // false — status is not in translatedAttributes
$article->isTranslatable('status');   // false

Usage in generic code

Useful in repositories and transformers that handle both translatable and non-translatable models:

if ($model->isTranslatable()) {
    $query->withActiveTranslations();
}
if ($model->isTranslatable('title')) {
    $query->orderByTranslation('title');
}
