Laravel Twitter Text Formatter
==============================

[](#laravel-twitter-text-formatter)

A simple wrapper based on [this code](https://github.com/netgloo/php-samples/tree/master/php-twitter-text-formatter), providing a service provider, a config file, and a class you can inject into your controllers. For me this is a more friendly way to include the work in my projects.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require joe-pritchard/laravel-twitter-text-formatter`

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

To override the default display templates, publish and modify the config file:

`php artisan vendor:publish --provider=JoePritchard\\LaravelTwitterTextFormatter\\Providers\\ServiceProvider`

The following config options can be then changed ne changed in `config/twitter-formatter.php`:

- *show\_retweeted\_by* (Control whether or not to show the "retweeted by..." text below retweets that appear in your timeline. Defaults to `true`)
- *retweeted\_by\_template* (The template that should be used to display the "retweeted by..." section. Defaults to ` Retweeted by {{user_name}}`)
- *hashtag\_link\_template* (defaults to `#{{hashtag_text}}`)
- *url\_link\_template* (defaults to `{{url_text}}`)
- *user\_mention\_link\_template* (defaults to `@{{user_mention_text}}`)
- *media\_link\_template* (defaults to `{{media_text}}`)

Usage

### In Controllers/Classes

[](#in-controllersclasses)

Just call `JoePritchard\TwitterTextFormatter\Formatter::format()` on the tweet you'd like to format. The format method takes one argument, which is a tweet as returned by the twitter API. For more details on how to retrieve that, head to the official API docs or take a look at [this article](http://blog.netgloo.com/2015/08/16/php-getting-latest-tweets-and-displaying-them-in-html/), which is where I first encountered Andrea Zanelli's work before deciding to roll it into this package.

### In Views

[](#in-views)

In blade files etc it may be more convenient to use the helper method: `{!! twitter_format($tweet) !!}`
