You can write your own formatters and put them in `app/Formatters` folder, then apply them everywhere in your application through `format` helper. The package uses the Service Container under the hood to easily extend or override the formatter classes. --- The package requires `PHP 8.1` or higher and `Laravel 10` or higher. If you're looking for older versions, check [release history](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/releases). \#StandWithUkraine ------------------ [](#standwithukraine) [![SWUbanner](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vshymanskyy/StandWithUkraine/main/banner2-direct.svg)](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/StandWithUkraine/blob/main/docs/README.md) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the package via composer: ``` composer require michael-rubel/laravel-formatters ``` ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="formatters-config" ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` format(DateTimeFormatter::class, now()); ``` You can use a shorter version of the string as an alternative: ``` format('date-time', now()); ``` Available built-in formatters ----------------------------- [](#available-built-in-formatters) - [`Date`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/DateFormatter.php) - [`DateTime`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/DateTimeFormatter.php) - [`FullName`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/FullNameFormatter.php) - [`LocaleNumber`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/LocaleNumberFormatter.php) - [`MaskString`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/MaskStringFormatter.php) - [`Name`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/NameFormatter.php) - [`TableColumn`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/TableColumnFormatter.php) - [`TaxNumber`](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/src/Collection/TaxNumberFormatter.php) ### Artisan command [](#artisan-command) To make the programmer's life easier, we also added the Artisan command. You can use `make:formatter` command to generate formatter classes. It will put the class with the given name into `app/Formatters` folder and auto-inject the stub. ### Extending formatters [](#extending-formatters) Since the formatters are resolved through the Service Container they can be easily overridden by extending bindings. For example in your Service Provider: ``` $this->app->extend(DateTimeFormatter::class, function ($formatter) { $formatter->datetime_format = 'Y.m.d H:i'; return $formatter; }); ``` ### Adding custom/overriding package formatters [](#adding-customoverriding-package-formatters) To add a custom formatter you should create the class that implements the `MichaelRubel\Formatters\Formatter` interface and put it to the `app/Formatters` folder. You can put formatter with the same name as the package's to override the formatter from the package. You can customize the folder in the config file. ### Examples [](#examples) You can discover examples of the usage [here](https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-formatters/blob/main/docs/examples.md). Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) If you have written your own formatter and want to add it to this package, PRs are welcomed. But take care of the extendability of the formatter you want to make as built-in and remember to write tests for your use cases. Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Health Score 47 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance36 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity44 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 92.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
