======================================

[](#stringer-string-helper-for-php--74)

🫡 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### 🚀 Installation

[](#-installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require nabeghe/stringer
```

### Str Class

[](#str-class)

The main class that includes the useful methods is `Nabegh\String\Str`.

#### Example:

[](#example)

```
use Nabeghe\Stringer\Str;

echo Str::random(32);
echo Str::random(32, '0123456789');
```

### UnicodeControls Class

[](#unicodecontrols-class)

A class that includes some Unicode control characters; for example, the invisible character, or the right-to-left and left-to-right markers.

```
use Nabeghe\Stringer\UnicodeControls;

echo UnicodeControls::ISS; // Invisible
```

### Stringer Class

[](#stringer-class)

A string class.

Accepts any value, converts it to a string via strval, stores it, and returns it via \_\_toString.

It is possible to access the methods of the `Str` class through the `Stringer` object as well, with the difference that the main text parameter is no longer present.

```
use Nabeghe\Stringer\Stringer;

$string = new Stringer('In programming, a string is a sequence of characters, and string manipulation processes these characters.');
echo $string->after('string ')->before(','); // `is a sequence of characters`
```
