I can fetch the locale app in blade like this {{ config('app.locale') }}, however, I want to be able to fetch the locale in javascript, specifically in Vue in order to pass it to moment().locale() I tried the following on the view home.blade.php it didn't work 

moment().locale( {{ config('app.locale') }}

How can I fetch the locale app in Vue?

  • What output do you get from the blade template? Are you missing quotes around the locale perhaps? – James Oct 24 '17 at 16:18
  • You're missing a `)` there. Also, where/how do you call that line? And I *think* it should be `@{{ config('app.locale'}}` – brombeer Oct 24 '17 at 16:26
  • with the current code, in blade it gets converted to `moment().locale( en )`. You need quote/double quote around **en**, so use `moment().locale( "{{ config('app.locale')" }})` – ljubadr Oct 24 '17 at 16:49

You would have to set that value on the window. You could create a script tag in your blade template that creates global variables on the window that you could access.

You could also use https://packagist.org/packages/laracasts/utilities in controller functions that render your view to pass the values to the window with something like this:

JavaScript::put(['locale' => config('app.locale')]);

And then access it in your JS at window.locale

    Great answer! To add to it, you can read about different methods of accessing server side variables with vue at https://zaengle.com/blog/layers-of-a-laravel-vue-application – vane Oct 24 '17 at 16:41

    That's a great approach. I generally create meta tags `` and grab them with javascript when I need them but this is so much cleaner! – user1669496 Oct 24 '17 at 17:41

use Lang;

$locale = Lang::locale(); (gives you the locale detected on the frontend)
$locale = Lang::getLocale(); (gives you the locale set default in the config)

    Although your code snippet might solve the issue, you should describe what’s the purpose of your code (how it solves the problem). Furthermore, you might want to check https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer – Ahmad F Mar 18 '18 at 10:00
