laravel-lang-country ★ 301 30 APPLICATION

This repository is a Laravel package that extends the framework's localization capabilities to include country-specific formatting. It provides a middleware that automatically detects the user's preferred language and country from browser headers or user profile, sets session variables, and offers a facade with methods to retrieve localized date formats, currency symbols, country names, and emoji flags. It also includes a language switcher controller and listens to login events to persist user preferences. The architecture follows Laravel's service provider pattern, with a main LangCountry class that reads data from bundled JSON files for each supported locale. The package integrates with Carbon for date formatting and provides Carbon macros for convenient use. The codebase is well-tested with 100% coverage, typed, and follows PSR-12 coding standards. The most reusable component is the PreferredLanguage service, which encapsulates the logic of parsing the Accept-Language header and matching against allowed locales with quality weighting and fallback. This could be extracted into a standalone library for browser language detection in any PHP project.
