YDK File Reader
===============

[](#ydk-file-reader)

Simple PHP library that make `.ydk` file reading easier.

Install using Composer
----------------------

[](#install-using-composer)

```
composer require fabrn/ydkfilereader
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In order to parse a specific YDK file, the `Ydk::readFile` will do the job :

```
$ydk = Ydk::readFile('my_file.ydk');
```

Once you've done that, you get an `Ydk` instance that contains everything you need to read the parsed file using **public properties** :

- author : if mentioned, the author can be retrieved
- mainDeck : list of card IDs of the main deck
- extraDeck : list of card IDs of the extra deck
- sideDeck : list of card IDs of the side deck

Using a custom parser
---------------------

[](#using-a-custom-parser)

If, for some reason, you need to use a custom YDK parser, you can create one :

```
class MyYdkParser implements YdkParserInterface
{
    public function parse(string $ydk): array
    {
        // TODO : parse YDK content
    }
}
```

Then use the parser by giving it as a second argument to the `readFile` method :

```
$ydk = Ydk::readFile('my_file.ydk', new MyYdkParser());
```

Directly parse YDK content
--------------------------

[](#directly-parse-ydk-content)

The `Ydk` class' constructor takes some raw YDK content to parse. The `readFile` is useful to get a file's content and construct the `Ydk` instance with it. But, if you need to, you can give it yourself :

```
$ydk = new Ydk($ydkContent);
```

Note that you can also use a custom parser using the constructor :

```
$ydk = new Ydk($ydkContent, new MyYdkParser());
```
