It gives you the magic of method chaining and it's easier and shorter to be included in views. It Supports most of [PHP built-in strings functions](http://php.net/manual/en/book.strings.php) (and other useful methods like: contains, equal, append, prepend ...). ``` str('Hi World')->replace(' ', '+')->lower(); ``` Why use this instead of other string maniplulation packages ? ------------------------------------------------------------- [](#why-use-this-instead-of-other-string-maniplulation-packages-) This is a wrapper for PHP default string functions, to provide a very poweful method chaining and conditions. You don't have to learn new methods names, just use PHP functions names that you know. Install/Use ----------- [](#installuse) You can install the package via composer locally in your project folder: ``` $ composer require awssat/str-helper ``` After installing it, just start using `StrHelper` class, or simply the helper function `str()`: Examples -------- [](#examples) ``` str('Hi Hello')->strReplace(' ', '-'); >> hi-hello ``` ``` str('Hi Hello')->prepend('[')->append(']'); >> [Hi Hello] ``` In case you want an explicit string value for conditions, use "get": ``` if(str('Hi')->lower->get() == 'hi') { echo 'yes'; } >> yes ``` There is a "tap" method: ``` str('LINK.COM')->tap(function($v){ print($v); })->lower(); >> LINK.COM ``` for callbacks use "do" method: ``` str('link.com')->do(function($string){ return strip_tags($string); }); >> link.com ``` or: ``` str('link.com')->do(function(){ $this->stripTags(); }); >> link.com ``` you may notice using camelCase instead of snake\_case for method name works too. You can also use conditions, if(..), else(), endif() ``` str('hi') ->ifContains('hi') ->upper(); >> HI ``` if can take an anonymous function ``` str('hi') ->if(function(){ return $this->contains('hi'); }) ->upper(); >> HI ``` All methods are availabe to be called statically, as: ``` StrHelper::capitalize('life'); ``` or using str() function. ``` str()::capitalize('nomad'); ``` **\[UTF-8 Support\] If mbstring library is installed and you call a strpos function, mb\_strpos will be called instead.** Tests ----- [](#tests) Simply use: ``` $ composer test ``` Credits ------- [](#credits) - [Abdulrahman M.](https://github.com/abdumu) - [All Contributors](../../contributors) License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
