Text Helper
===========

[](#text-helper)

Text Helper is a PHP Library, that helps with text/string manipulation.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install, run this command inside your project directory in your terminal:

```
    composer require fwrw/text-helper
```

Usage/Examples
--------------

[](#usageexamples)

### To remove excessive whitespaces:

[](#to-remove-excessive-whitespaces)

```
  TextHelper::normalizeSpaces($text);
```

It will return the $text variable without them.

### To cut a text:

[](#to-cut-a-text)

```
  TextHelper::cut($text, $limit);
```

It will cut the variable $text in the limit passed by param $limit. you can also put a final string at the end:

```
  TextHelper::cut($text, $limit, $end);
```

In that case, the text will be cuted, and have a string (passed by param) at the end, example:

```
input
  TextHelper::cut($text, 20, "...");
```

```
out
  Lorem ipsum dolor am...
```

In order to avoid a word from separating in the middle, rather cut from the last whitespace by passing 'true' after the $end variable, by param:

```
input
  TextHelper::cut($text, 20, "...", true);
```

```
out
  Lorem ipsum dolor...
```

### To remove accents:

[](#to-remove-accents)

```
  TextHelper::stripAccents($text);
```

will return the $text variable cleaned, without any accent. Example:

```
input
  TextHelper::stripAccents("O dia está lindo");
```

```
out
  O dia esta lindo
```

### To remove special characters:

[](#to-remove-special-characters)

```
  TextHelper::clear($text);
```

will return the variable $text withour any special characters. You can also clear numbers and accents, just passin 'true' values by param:

```
input
  TextHelper::clear($text, $numbers, $accent);
```

in that case, the $text variable is going to be reformulated without any number, accent, or special character:

```
input
  TextHelper::clear("Bom dia, você está linda hoje!!1", true, true);
```

```
out
  Bom dia voce esta linda hoje
```
