Lightweight string casing conversions and semantic versioning for PHP.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require napse/string-utils
```

Requires **PHP 8.2** or higher.

StringUtils
-----------

[](#stringutils)

Converts strings between 12 casing formats:

MethodExample Output`toFlatCase('Hello World!')``helloworld``toKebabCase('Hello World!')``hello-world``toCamelCase('Hello World!')``helloWorld``toPascalCase('Hello World!')``HelloWorld``toSnakeCase('Hello World!')``hello_world``toConstantCase('Hello World!')``HELLO_WORLD``toCobolCase('Hello World!')``HELLO-WORLD``toTitleCase('Hello World!')``Hello World``toDotCase('Hello World!')``hello.world``toTrainCase('Hello World!')``Hello-World``toSlug('Café & Co!')``cafe-co``toAcronym('Hello World!')``HW````
use Napse\StringUtils\StringUtils;

echo StringUtils::toKebabCase('Hello World! 123');
// Output: hello-world-123

echo StringUtils::toSlug('Über uns! 🎉');
// Output: uber-uns
```

Version
-------

[](#version)

Immutable semantic versioning value object with parsing, comparison, and modification.

### Creating Versions

[](#creating-versions)

```
use Napse\StringUtils\Version;

$version = new Version(1, 2, 3, 'beta', 'build123');
echo $version; // 1.2.3-beta+build123

$version = Version::fromString('2.1.0-beta+exp.sha.5114f85');
echo $version; // 2.1.0-beta+exp.sha.5114f85
```

### Accessing Components

[](#accessing-components)

```
$version = new Version(1, 2, 3, 'alpha', 'build123');

$version->getMajor();         // 1
$version->getMinor();         // 2
$version->getPatch();         // 3
$version->getPreRelease();    // "alpha"
$version->getBuildMetadata(); // "build123"
```

### Incrementing

[](#incrementing)

```
$version = new Version(1, 2, 3);

echo $version->incrementMajor(); // 2.0.0
echo $version->incrementMinor(); // 1.3.0
echo $version->incrementPatch(); // 1.2.4
```

### Immutable Modifications

[](#immutable-modifications)

```
$version = new Version(1, 0, 0);

echo $version->withMajor(2);              // 2.0.0
echo $version->withMinor(5);              // 1.5.0
echo $version->withPatch(9);              // 1.0.9
echo $version->withPreRelease('rc1');     // 1.0.0-rc1
echo $version->withBuildMetadata('b567'); // 1.0.0+b567
```

### Comparing

[](#comparing)

```
$v1 = new Version(1, 2, 3);
$v2 = new Version(1, 2, 4);

$v1->compare($v2); // -1 ($v1 < $v2)
$v2->compare($v1); //  1 ($v2 > $v1)

$v3 = new Version(1, 2, 3);
$v1->compare($v3); //  0 ($v1 == $v3)
```

Pre-release versions have lower precedence than the associated normal version (SemVer §11):

```
$alpha = Version::fromString('1.0.0-alpha');
$stable = new Version(1, 0, 0);

$alpha->compare($stable); // -1 (alpha < stable)
```

### Convenience Methods

[](#convenience-methods)

```
$v1 = new Version(1, 0, 0);
$v2 = new Version(2, 0, 0);

$v1->equals($v2);              // false
$v1->lessThan($v2);            // true
$v1->greaterThan($v2);         // false
$v1->lessThanOrEqual($v2);     // true
$v1->greaterThanOrEqual($v2);  // false
$v1->isStable();               // true

$beta = new Version(1, 0, 0, 'beta');
$beta->isStable();             // false
```

Emoji
-----

[](#emoji)
