php-string-formatter
====================

[](#php-string-formatter)

A simple and configurable string formatting pipeline for PHP.

Define formatting rules using a compact, readable DSL like:

```
padLeft:10:0;replace:_:space;padAfterFirst:11:0

```

This library lets you manipulate strings in a declarative and reusable way — ideal for formatting ticket numbers, codes, IDs, or any value that needs structured transformation.

---

🚀 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require ferryhopper/php-string-formatter
```

---

🧪 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

```
use StringFormatter\StringFormatter;

$formatted = StringFormatter::apply('K563793', 'remove:space;replace:K:A;padAfterFirst:11:0');
// Returns: "K 00000563793"
```

---

🛠 Supported Formatters
----------------------

[](#-supported-formatters)

FormatterDescription`padLeft:length:char`Left-pads the string to `length` using `char`.`padRight:length:char`Right-pads the string to `length` using `char`.`replace:search:replace`Replaces all occurrences of `search` with `replace`.`remove:target`Removes all occurrences of `target`.`padAfterFirst:length:char`Pads the part after the first character to `length` using `char`.---

🔤 Special Keywords
------------------

[](#-special-keywords)

- Use `"space"` instead of a literal space character.
    - `replace:_:space` → replaces `_` with a space
    - `remove:space` → removes all spaces

---

🧪 Testing
---------

[](#-testing)

```
vendor/bin/phpunit
```

---

📦 Roadmap Ideas
---------------

[](#-roadmap-ideas)

- Custom formatter registration
- Support for named pipelines
- Optional error handling modes (fail-fast vs silent)
