Labels & Translations

• Autowire: TRUE This service can be auto wired into your services.
• Class: eXpansion\Framework\Core\Model\Gui\Factory\LabelFactory

eXpansion supports translations for labels! You never need to actually bother for translations if you create properly your labels - eXpansion will take care of it.

Instead of using native FML Label (Label::create), you can use our uiFactory:

<?php
$this->uiFactory->createLabel("my_awesome_bundle.gui.say_hello", uiLabel::TYPE_NORMAL)->setTranslate(true);

This uiFactory service to do this is already ready to use for all Windows and Widget-classes, you just need to call it. and for the text id you would use like here:

myBundle/Resources/config/translations/messages.en.yml

my_awesome_bundle:
  gui:
      say_hello: 'hello world!'

Why are we using factories ?

We are using factories since if we need to change the font of all labels on the controller we now we can do it easily.

But as these factories are services it also means someone can make a plugin replacing our factories in order to completely change the look & feel of eXpansion.
