A library to cover all your Greek string conversion needs.

Currently:

- Transliteration of Greek strings
- Uppercase / lowercase conversions

Planned:

- Open to feature requests! :)

Wishlist:

- Reverse transliteration
- Accent guesstimates

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require gregkos/greek-strings
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can create a new string by calling the constructor:

```
$greek_string = new GregKos\GreekString('Καλημέρα!');
```

You can transliterate any greek letters in the string like so:

```
echo $greek_string->transliterate();

// Kalimera!
```

You can convert the string to `UPPERCASE`...

```
echo $greek_string->toUpper();

// ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ!
```

...or convert it to `lowercase`

```
echo $greek_string->toLower();

// καλημερα!
```

Keep in mind that conversions remove the accent unless you explicitly pass a parameter:

```
echo $greek_string->toUpper(false);

// ΚΑΛΗΜΈΡΑ!
```

However, there is no efficient way to add an accent that was not there before:

```
$greek_string = new GregKos\GreekString('ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ!');

echo $greek_string->toLower();

// καλημερα!
```

Method Reference
----------------

[](#method-reference)

The following methods are available on any GreekString instance:

```
// Returns the string as is
getString(): string

// Set a new string for the instance
// $str = a valid string
setString(string $str): self

// Return a transliterated version of the string
transliterate(): string

// Return an uppercase version of the string
// $removeAccent = a bool to determine whether or not
// to remove accent from the string (default: true)
toUpper($removeAccent = true): string

// Return an lowercase version of the string
// $removeAccent = a bool to determine whether or not
// to remove accent from the string (default: true)
toLower($removeAccent = true): string
```
