Getting Started

Install via Composer: composer require <vendor>/<package> — v0.1.4 is still pre-1.0, so pin the version (^0.1.4) and review release notes before upgrading.
Publish any config/assets if the package provides them: php artisan vendor:publish --provider="..." (check the README for the exact provider or tag).
Run composer dump-autoload after upgrading. v0.1.4 adds PSR-4 autoloading, so this ensures new class mappings are registered.
Look first at the package service provider and routes file to see how the translation editor is mounted (commonly a configurable route such as /translations).
First use case: open the editor in the browser, select a locale/file tab, and make a small edit to confirm read/write access to lang/ or resources/lang/. v0.1.4 flags errored translation editor tabs, so use that visual indicator to spot broken files immediately.

Implementation Patterns

Use the browser UI for day-to-day translation edits, then commit the resulting lang/ changes through your normal Git workflow.
Align the package's scan paths with your existing translation directory. Avoid running multiple translation-management packages over the same files.
Adopt an error-triage workflow: after merges or deploys, open the editor and check for flagged tabs. Fix syntax errors, missing keys, or malformed arrays before they reach users.
If you need custom tabs or validation, look for documented extension points (events, view components, tab registries). With PSR-4 autoloading in place, class overrides are more predictable, but confirm the namespace before binding replacements.
Pair UI edits with Laravel cache commands. After changing translations, run php artisan optimize:clear or at least php artisan view:clear if updates do not appear.
Keep automated validation in CI. The errored-tab flag is a human-facing UI aid; use your own linter or tests for programmatic translation checks.

v0.1.x is early-stage software. Expect breaking changes; avoid floating version constraints in production.
The PSR-4 change in v0.1.4 can break custom class extensions that relied on classmap or non-PSR-4 paths. Run composer dump-autoload -o, verify namespaces, and clear Laravel caches with php artisan optimize:clear.
Errored tab flags are likely front-end only. Do not depend on them as a validation API; add your own checks for CI.
If tabs remain flagged after editing, check file permissions and whether the web server user can write to the translation directory. Also verify PHP array vs. JSON translation format consistency.
After upgrading, republish front-end assets if the package ships compiled JS/CSS, and hard-refresh the browser. The errored-tab UI may depend on updated assets.
If the editor route disappears, clear route and config caches: php artisan route:clear and php artisan config:clear.
Prefer publishing config and using documented extension hooks over editing vendor files. With PSR-4, custom bindings in a service provider are usually cleaner, but check the package's interfaces first.
