expand-abbreviations
====================

[](#expand-abbreviations)

A service to expand abbreviations:

```
namespace Jstewmc\ExpandAbbreviations;

// define replacements (i.e., replace "foo" with "bar")
$replacements = ['foo' => 'bar'];

// instantiate service
$service = new ExpandAbbreviations($replacements);

// expand abbreviations
$service('foo bar baz');   // returns "bar bar baz"
$service('foo. bar baz');  // returns "bar bar baz"
$service('qux');           // returns "qux"
```

Given an array of *replacements* indexed by *abbreviation*, this library will expand all occurences of an abbreviation in a string to its corresponding replacement.

Keep in mind, this library is case-sensitive but trailing-period agnostic.
