Transliterator
==============

[](#transliterator)

Transliterate strings with PHP (7+); e.g. remove accented characters.

So "Liberté" becomes "Liberte", "nåløye" becomes "naloeye", and so on.

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

[](#installation)

Install using Composer:

```
composer install lukaswhite\transliterator

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Lukaswhite\Transliterator\Transliterator;

$transliterator = new Transliterator( );

print $transliterator->run( 'Liberté' );
// outputs Liberte

print $transliterator->run( 'nåløye' );
// outputs naloeye
```

### Advanced Usage

[](#advanced-usage)

Internally, the class maintains a table of character mappings. To get it, for example to inspect it:

```
var_dump( $transliterator->getTable( ) );
```

To add a substitution:

```
$transliterator->addToTable( 'a', 'b' );
```

To remove a substitution:

```
$transliterator->removeFromTable( 'a' );
```

To replace the whole table:

```
$transliterator->setTable(
	[
		'á' => 'a',
		'é' => 'e',
		'è' => 'e',
	]
);
```
