This package is a simple string masker for Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require karaca-tech/string-mask
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use KaracaTech\StringMask\Facades\Mask;

mask('John Doe')->keepFirstAndLastCharacter()->apply(); // J******e

Mask::fullname('John Doe'); // J*** D**
Mask::initials('John Doe'); // J.D.

// Let's spice things up a little bit
Mask::of('John Doe')
    ->silent()
    ->eachWord()
    ->keepFirstWord()
    ->keepFirstCharacter()
    ->then(fn(Masker $masked) => $masked->append('.'))
    ->apply(); // John D.
```

### Using your own processors

[](#using-your-own-processors)

All processors must be extended from `KaracaTech\StringMask\Powder\Processor` abstract class.

```
use KaracaTech\StringMask\Powder\Processor;
use KaracaTech\StringMask\MaskTarget;

class MyProcessor extends Processor
{
    public function execute(MaskTarget $string): string
    {
        // Do your magic here
    }
}

// or

class ProcessorWithParams extends Processor
{
    public function __construct(private AnotherClass $anotherClass)
    {
    }

    public function execute(MaskTarget $string): string
    {
        // Do your magic here
    }
}
```

Then you can use your processor like this:

```
Mask::of('John Doe')
    ->using(MyProcessor::class)
    ->using(MyOtherProcessor::class)
    ->using(ProcessorWithParams::class, new AnotherClass())
    ->apply();
```

For further examples, please check out the `KaracaTech\StringMask\Concerete\Processors` namespace.
