string-stream
=============

[](#string-stream)

This package provides a library to facilitate interacting with strings using the [PSR-7 stream interface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/#34-psrhttpmessagestreaminterface).

The goal of this package is to provide similar functionality in PHP to that of C++'s `iostream`; Analagous methods are intended to behave similarly.

To install this package using Composer, run the following command.

```
composer require clayfreeman/string-stream
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Some general usage examples are shown below. For more detailed information, please refer to the [PSR-7 stream interface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/#34-psrhttpmessagestreaminterface).

```
use ClayFreeman\StringStream\StringStream;

$stream = new StringStream('sample string');
var_export((string) $stream); // 'sample string'

// Reset the stream offset to the beginning.
var_export($stream->read(2)); // 'sa'
var_export($stream->getContents()); // 'mple string'

$stream->write('some more contents');
var_export((string) $stream); // 'sample stringsome more contents'
```
