cartware/custombase
===================

[](#cartwarecustombase)

A PHP port of [Elixir's CustomBase module](https://hex.pm/packages/custom_base)

Example
-------

[](#example)

Lets make `Base12` module with conversion described below.

ValueEncoding0011223344556677889910A11B```
use Cartware\CustomBase\CustomBase;

class Base12 {
	use CustomBase;
	protected const CUSTOMBASE_ALPHABET = '0123456789AB';
}
```

Now your class has 2 functions `encode/1` and `decode/1`:

```
$base12 = new Base12();

$base12->encode(9); # 9
$base12->encode(10); # A
$base12->encode(11); # B
$base12->encode(12); # 10

$base12->decode(16); # 18
$base12->decode('AB'); # 131
```
