PHP ISRI Stemmer
================

[](#php-isri-stemmer)

The first free and open source Arabic stemmer ever written in PHP for Laravel framework implementing ISRI algorithm.

Due to lack of support for Arabic language despite its wonderful features and grammar, and as an Arabian open source tech geek in love with technologies, I felt like it's my duty to help my native language to rise, and help making Arab programmers life a bit easier.

This package contains the ISRI Stemming class build from scratch by myself and willing to make this project for global PHP use (not restricted to Laravel) next step will be Symfony 😍 .

Please note that this is just the beginning, and I'm willing to continue building a project that will serve the whole Arab language.

### Install

[](#install)

You can install this package using composer:

```
composer require nouralhadi/stemmer

```

For Laravel < 5.5, You should add the package to your service providers array in `config/app.php`:

```
\Nouralhadi\Stemmer\StemmerServiceProvider::class,

```

### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

You can visit this route `/stemmer` after installing this package to access the testing page of the package.

The only feature it contains (for now) is the `stem` feature, which accepts an arabic word and return its root.

You can use the Stemmer class by Injecting it inside your caller function / controller:

```
use Nouralhadi\Stemmer\Http\Helpers\ISRIStemmer;
public function test(ISRIStemmer $stemmer){
    $string = 'وزراء';
    echo $stemmer->stem($string);
    // Resulting: وزر
}

```

Or you can stem a complete sentence by splitting into words and steam each:

```
use Nouralhadi\Stemmer\Http\Helpers\ISRIStemmer;
public function test(ISRIStemmer $stemmer){
    $string = 'كتب المستخدم رسالة إلى مدير الموقع';
    $words = mb_split(' ',$string);

    $ret = [];
    foreach ($words as $word){
        array_push($ret, $this->Stemmer->stem($word));
    }
    $result = implode(' ', $ret);
    // Resulting: كتب خدم رسل ألى دير وقع
}

```
