I know the team is working on this issue but I wanted to bump it along. It’s a little difficult for me to work in Local without the PHP Intl class. My application requires it, my production server supports it, but the class throws an error when I try to use it in Local.
This has been a longstanding issue with a lot of interest. A quick search pulls up almost a dozen threads:
I don’t have any further updates on this – it hasn’t been started due to the Local team doing a bunch of work around updating Electron to the latest version Local v5.10.4 as well as paying down technical debt in other parts of the Local codebase.
I agree that having Local sites be easier to configure is an important feature and I have made some additional comments on our internal bug tracker and will continue to advocate for making the process of compiling and configuring additional extensions easier.
