View Helpers

zend-i18n ships with a set of zend-view helper classes related to internationalization: e.g., formatting a date, formatting currency, or displaying translated content.

See the zend-view helpers documentation for more information.

CurrencyFormat Helper

The CurrencyFormat view helper can be used to simplify rendering of localized currency values. It acts as a wrapper for the NumberFormatter class within the internationalization extension (ext/intl).

Basic Usage

// Within your view:

echo $this->currencyFormat(1234.56, 'USD', null, 'en_US');
// Returns: "$1,234.56"

echo $this->currencyFormat(1234.56, 'EUR', null, 'de_DE');
// Returns: "1.234,56 €"

echo $this->currencyFormat(1234.56, 'USD', true, 'en_US');
// Returns: "$1,234.56"

echo $this->currencyFormat(1234.56, 'USD', false, 'en_US');
// Returns: "$1,235"

echo $this->currencyFormat(12345678.90, 'EUR', true, 'de_DE', '#0.# kg');
// Returns: "12345678,90 kg"

echo $this->currencyFormat(12345678.90, 'EUR', false, 'de_DE', '#0.# kg');
// Returns: "12345679 kg"

Method description

currencyFormat(
    float $number [,
    string $currencyCode = null [,
    bool $showDecimals = null [,
    string $locale = null [,
    string $pattern = null
] ] ] ]) : string

where:

$number: the numeric currency value.
$currencyCode: the 3-letter ISO 4217 currency code indicating the currency to use. If unset, it will use the default value current in the helper instance (null by default).
$showDecimals: Boolean false indicates that no decimals should be represented. If unset, it will use the value current in the helper instance (true by default).
$locale: Locale in which the currency would be formatted (locale name, e.g. en_US). If unset, it will use the default locale (default is the value of Locale::getDefault()).
$pattern: Pattern string the formatter should use. If unset, it will use the value current in the helper instance (null by default).

Available Functionality

Set the currency code and the locale

The $currencyCode and $locale options can be set prior to formatting and will be applied each time the helper is used:

// Within your view

$this->plugin('currencyformat')->setCurrencyCode('USD')->setLocale('en_US');

echo $this->currencyFormat(1234.56);
// This returns: "$1,234.56"

echo $this->currencyFormat(5678.90);
// This returns: "$5,678.90"

The method signatures are:

setCurrencyCode(string $currencyCode) : CurrencyFormat

where $currencyCode is the 3-letter ISO 4217 currency code, and

setLocale(string $locale) : CurrencyFormat

where $locale is the locale with which to format the number.

Show decimals

// Within your view

$this->plugin('currencyformat')->setShouldShowDecimals(false);

echo $this->currencyFormat(1234.56, 'USD', null, 'en_US');
// This returns: "$1,235"

with the following method signature:

setShouldShowDecimals(bool $showDecimals) : CurrencyFormat

where $showDecimals indicates whether or not decimal values will be displayed.

Set the currency pattern

// Within your view

$this->plugin('currencyformat')->setCurrencyPattern('#0.# kg');

echo $this->currencyFormat(12345678.90, 'EUR', null, 'de_DE');
// This returns: "12345678,90 kg"

with the following method signature:

setCurrencyPattern(string $currencyPattern) : CurrencyFormat

where $currencyPattern is a valid ICU DecimalFormat pattern; see the NumberFormatter::setPattern() documentation for more information.

DateFormat Helper

The DateFormat view helper can be used to simplify rendering of localized date/time values. It acts as a wrapper for the IntlDateFormatter class within ext/intl.

Basic Usage

// Within your view

// Date and Time
echo $this->dateFormat(
    new DateTime(),
    IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM, // date
    IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM, // time
    "en_US"
);
// This returns: "Jul 2, 2012 6:44:03 PM"

// Date Only
echo $this->dateFormat(
    new DateTime(),
    IntlDateFormatter::LONG, // date
    IntlDateFormatter::NONE, // time
    "en_US"
);
// This returns: "July 2, 2012"

// Time Only
echo $this->dateFormat(
    new DateTime(),
    IntlDateFormatter::NONE,  // date
    IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, // time
    "en_US"
);
// This returns: "6:44 PM"

Method description

dateFormat(
    mixed $date [,
    int $dateType = null [,
    int $timeType = null [,
    string $locale = null
] ] ]) : string

where:

$date: The value to format. This may be a DateTime instance, an integer representing a Unix timestamp value, or an array in the format returned by localtime().
$dateType: Date type to use (none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants. Defaults to IntlDateFormatter::NONE.
$timeType: Time type to use (none, short, medium, long, full). This is one of the IntlDateFormatter constants. Defaults to IntlDateFormatter::NONE.
$locale: Locale in which the date would be formatted (locale name, e.g. en_US). If unset, it will use the default locale (return value of Locale::getDefault()).

Public Methods

The $locale option can be set prior to formatting with the setLocale() method and will be applied each time the helper is used.

By default, the system's default timezone will be used when formatting. This overrides any timezone that may be set inside a DateTime object. To change the timezone when formatting, use the setTimezone() method.

// Within your view
$this->plugin('dateFormat')
    ->setTimezone('America/New_York')
    ->setLocale('en_US');

echo $this->dateFormat(new DateTime(), IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM);  // "Jul 2, 2012"
echo $this->dateFormat(new DateTime(), IntlDateFormatter::SHORT);   // "7/2/12"

NumberFormat Helper

The NumberFormat view helper can be used to simplify rendering of locale-specific number and/or percentage strings. It acts as a wrapper for the NumberFormatter class within ext/intl.

Basic Usage

// Within your view

// Example of Decimal formatting:
echo $this->numberFormat(
    1234567.891234567890000,
    NumberFormatter::DECIMAL,
    NumberFormatter::TYPE_DEFAULT,
    'de_DE'
);
// This returns: "1.234.567,891"

// Example of Percent formatting:
echo $this->numberFormat(
    0.80,
    NumberFormatter::PERCENT,
    NumberFormatter::TYPE_DEFAULT,
    'en_US'
);
// This returns: "80%"

// Example of Scientific notation formatting:
echo $this->numberFormat(
    0.00123456789,
    NumberFormatter::SCIENTIFIC,
    NumberFormatter::TYPE_DEFAULT,
    'fr_FR'
);
// This returns: "1,23456789E-3"

Method description

numberFormat(
    int|float $number [,
    int $formatStyle = null [,
    int $formatType = null [,
    string $locale = null [,
    int $decimals = null [,
    array $textAttributes = null
] ] ] ] ]) : string

where:

$number: the number to format.
$formatStyle: one of the NumberFormatter styles: NumberFormatter::DECIMAL, NumberFormatter::CURRENCY, etc.
$formatType: one of the NumberFormatter types: NumberFormatter::TYPE_DEFAULT (basic numeric), NumberFormatter::TYPE_CURRENCY, etc.
$locale: a valid locale to use when formatting the number.
$decimals: the number of digits beyond the decimal point to display.
$textAttributes: text attributes to use with the number (e.g., prefix and/or suffix for positive/negative numbers, currency code): NumberFormatter::POSITIVE_PREFIX, NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX, etc.

Public Methods

Each of the $formatStyle, $formatType, $locale, and $textAttributes options can be set prior to formatting and will be applied each time the helper is used.

// Within your view
$this->plugin("numberformat")
            ->setFormatStyle(NumberFormatter::PERCENT)
            ->setFormatType(NumberFormatter::TYPE_DOUBLE)
            ->setLocale("en_US")
            ->setTextAttributes([
                NumberFormatter::POSITIVE_PREFIX => '^ ',
                NumberFormatter::NEGATIVE_PREFIX => 'v ',
            ]);

echo $this->numberFormat(0.56);   // "^ 56%"
echo $this->numberFormat(-0.90);  // "v 90%"

Plural Helper

Most languages have specific rules for handling plurals. For instance, in English, we say "0 cars" and "2 cars" (plural) while we say "1 car" (singular). On the other hand, French uses the singular form for both 0 and 1 ("0 voiture" and "1 voiture") and the plural form otherwise ("3 voitures").

Therefore we often need to handle plural cases even without translation (mono-lingual application). The Plural helper was created for this.

Plural helper does not translate

If you need to handle both plural cases and translations, you must use the TranslatePlural helper; Plural does not translate.

Internally, the Plural helper uses the Zend\I18n\Translator\Plural\Rule class to handle rules.

Setup

Defining plural rules is left to the developer. To help you with this process, here are some links with up-to-date plural rules for tons of languages:

Basic Usage

First, define a rule. As an example, you could add the following code in your Module class:

// Get the ViewHelperPlugin Manager from the ServiceManager, so we can fetch the
// Plural helper and add the plural rule for the application's language:
$viewHelperManager = $serviceManager->get('ViewHelperManager');
$pluralHelper      = $viewHelperManager->get('Plural');

// Here is the rule for French
$pluralHelper->setPluralRule('nplurals=2; plural=(n==0 || n==1 ? 0 : 1)');

The string reads as follows:

First, we specify how many plural forms we have. For French, only two (singular/plural).
Next, we specify the rule. Here, if the count is 0 or 1, this is rule n°0 (singular) while it's rule n°1 otherwise.

As noted earlier earlier, English considers "1" as singular and "0/other" as plural. Here is how that would be declared:

// Here is the rule for English
$pluralHelper->setPluralRule('nplurals=2; plural=(n==1 ? 0 : 1)');

Now that we have defined the rule, we can use it in our views:

// Within a view script...
// If the rule defined in Module.php is the English one:

echo $this->plural(array('car', 'cars'), 0); // prints "cars"
echo $this->plural(array('car', 'cars'), 1); // prints "car"

// If the rule defined in Module.php is the French one:
echo $this->plural(array('voiture', 'voitures'), 0); // prints "voiture"
echo $this->plural(array('voiture', 'voitures'), 1); // prints "voiture"
echo $this->plural(array('voiture', 'voitures'), 2); // prints "voitures"

Translate Helper

The Translate view helper can be used to translate content. It acts as a wrapper for the Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator class.

Setup

Before using the Translate view helper, you must have first created a Translator object and have attached it to the view helper. If you use the Zend\View\HelperPluginManager to invoke the view helper, this will be done automatically for you.

Basic Usage

// Within your view...

echo $this->translate("Some translated text.");
echo $this->translate("Translated text from a custom text domain.", "customDomain");
echo sprintf($this->translate("The current time is %s."), $currentTime);
echo $this->translate("Translate in a specific locale", "default", "de_DE");

Method description

translate(
    string $message [,
    string $textDomain = null [,
    string $locale = null
] ]) : string

where:

$message: The message to translate.
$textDomain: The text domain/context of the translation; defaults to "default".
$locale: Locale to which the message should be translated (locale name, e.g. en_US). If unset, it will use the default locale (return value of Locale::getDefault()).

Gettext

The xgettext utility can be used to compile *.po files from PHP source files containing the translate view helper.

$ xgettext --language=php --add-location --keyword=translate my-view-file.phtml

See the Gettext Wikipedia page for more information.

Public Methods

Public methods for setting a Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator and a default text domain are inherited from the AbstractTranslatorHelper.

TranslatePlural Helper

The TranslatePlural view helper can be used to translate words which take into account numeric meanings. English, for example, has a singular definition of "car", for one car, and the plural definition, "cars", meaning zero "cars" or more than one car. Other languages like Russian or Polish have more plurals with different rules.

The helper acts as a wrapper for the Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator class.

Setup

Before using the TranslatePlural view helper, you must have first created a Translator object and have attached it to the view helper. If you use the Zend\View\HelperPluginManager to invoke the view helper, this will be done automatically for you.

Basic Usage

// Within your view
echo $this->translatePlural("car", "cars", $num);

// Use a custom domain
echo $this->translatePlural("monitor", "monitors", $num, "customDomain");

// Change locale
echo $this->translatePlural("locale", "locales", $num, "default", "de_DE");

Method description

translatePlural(
    string $singular,
    string $plural,
    int $number [,
    string $textDomain = null [,
    string $locale = null
] ]) : string

where:

$singular: The message to use for singular values.
$plural: The message to use for plural values.
$number: The number to evaluate in order to determine which number to use.
$textDomain: The text domain/context of the translation; defaults to "default".
$locale: Locale to which the message should be translated (locale name, e.g. en_US). If unset, it will use the default locale (return value of Locale::getDefault()).

Public Methods

Public methods for setting a Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator and a default text domain are inherited from the AbstractTranslatorHelper.

Abstract Translator Helper

The AbstractTranslatorHelper view helper is used as a base abstract class for any helpers that need to translate content. It provides an implementation for the Zend\I18n\Translator\TranslatorAwareInterface, allowing translator injection as well as text domain injection.

Public Methods

setTranslator()

setTranslator(
    Translator $translator [ ,
    string $textDomain = null
] ) : void

Sets the Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator instance to use in the helper. The $textDomain argument is optional, and provided as a convenienct to allow setting both the translator and text domain simultaneously.

getTranslator()

getTranslator() : Translator

Returns the Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator instance used by the helper.

hasTranslator()

hasTranslator() : bool

Returns true if the helper composes a Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator instance.

setTranslatorEnabled()

setTranslatorEnabled(bool $enabled) : void

Sets whether or not translations are enabled.

isTranslatorEnabled()

isTranslatorEnabled() : bool

Returns true if translations are enabled.

setTranslatorTextDomain()

setTranslatorTextDomain(string $textDomain) : void

Sets the default translation text domain to use with the helper.

getTranslatorTextDomain()

getTranslatorTextDomain() : string

Returns the current text domain used by the helper.
