classnames
==========

[](#classnames)

This package is a PHP port of .

The only difference is that `Classnames` deduplicate classes by default. It means that `Classnames::make('foo', 'foo', 'bar)` returns `'foo bar'`instead of `foo foo bar` by default. It's because redraws in PHP do not happen that often as they do in JavaScript (original implementation) so it's not an issue and the output code is cleaner and smaller (which is more an issue in the backend).

If you want to use `Classnames` without deduplication you can call `Classnames::flatten`.

Generate CSS class names
------------------------

[](#generate-css-class-names)

```
use Newride\Classnames\Classnames;

Classnames::make('foo', 'bar'); // => 'foo bar'
Classnames::make('foo', [ 'bar' => true ]); // => 'foo bar'
Classnames::make([ 'foo-bar' => true ]); // => 'foo-bar'
Classnames::make([ 'foo-bar' => false ]); // => ''
Classnames::make([ 'foo' => true ], [ 'bar' => true ]); // => 'foo bar'
Classnames::make([ 'foo' => true, 'bar' => true ]); // => 'foo bar'
Classnames::make(1, 2, 3); // => '1 2 3'

Classnames::make('foo', 'foo', 'bar'); // => 'foo bar'
Classnames::flatten('foo', 'foo', 'bar'); // => 'foo foo bar'
```

Invalid class names
-------------------

[](#invalid-class-names)

When type non convertible to string is used as an argument then exception is thrown.

```
Classnames::flatten(new stdClass()); // => throws \Newride\Classnames\NotConvertibleTypeException
```
