How to read and write json file in PHP Laravel?

Hi PHP Dev,

do you require to modify or update your json file in laravel 5 application? If yes then i will let you know how to read and write json file in Laravel project. we will create json file and save json data.

Actually, i was working on my laravel app and i require to use laravel translation using laravel trans. but i need to use trans with json data. i was thinking how to read and write that json file like i created en.json file on lang folder and i was read and write both.

So here i wanted to share with you this small example so if you anyone require to use then it can be help you. So let's see below route.

web.php

Route::get('/', function () {

    // Read File
    $jsonString = file_get_contents(base_path('resources/lang/en.json'));
    $data = json_decode($jsonString, true);

    // Update Key
    $data['country.title'] = "Change Manage Country";

    // Write File
    $newJsonString = json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
    file_put_contents(base_path('resources/lang/en.json'), stripslashes($newJsonString));

    // Get Key Value
    dd(__('country.title'));
});

Output File: en.json

{
    "name": "Hardik",
    "title": "Odit",
    "country.title": "Change Manage Country"
}

I hope you need it and help you....
