Fix location of lang files to prevent applications with localization from breaking

[michaelklopf]

I opened a PR that fixes an error, in which the translation helper can't find the translations anymore.

The app creates files in the pre Laravel 9 lang folder location. Laravel checks for that place and changes the lang path where the translations are searched for. This shouldn't happen though as Laravel 9s way is the new default.

See the PR for more information.

Please accept that PR

For a workaround I made my own Serviceprovider to fix that and registered it in config/app.php

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Laravel\Nova\Nova;

class NovaGoogleAutocompleteFixServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register services.
     */
    public function register(): void
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Bootstrap services.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        // Determine the correct language path
        $langPath = $this->getLangPath();

        // Ensure translations are loaded correctly for the vendor package
        $this->loadTranslationsFrom($langPath . '/vendor/nova-google-autocomplete', 'nova-google-autocomplete');
        $this->loadJsonTranslationsFrom($langPath . '/vendor/nova-google-autocomplete');

        // Optionally re-register Nova translations for this package
        Nova::serving(function () use ($langPath) {
            Nova::translations($langPath . '/vendor/nova-google-autocomplete/' . app()->getLocale() . '.json');
        });
    }

    protected function getLangPath(): string
    {
        // Check if the `/lang` directory exists to determine the correct path
        return is_dir(base_path('lang')) ? base_path('lang') : resource_path('lang');
    }
}
