Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install this package ``` $ composer require originphp/text ``` Converting Strings to Ascii --------------------------- [](#converting-strings-to-ascii) To convert a string into Ascii (Transliterate) ``` $ascii = Text::toAscii('Ragnarr Loðbrók'); // Ragnarr Lodbrok ``` Creating a Slug --------------- [](#creating-a-slug) To create a URL safe slug. The string will be converted to ASCII then any unkown characters will be replaced with the separator. ``` $slug = Text::slug('Who is Ragnarr Loðbrók?'); // who-is-ragnarr-lodbrok ``` Contains -------- [](#contains) To check if a string contains a substring. ``` $result = Text::contains('foo','What is foo bar'); // true ``` Getting parts of strings ------------------------ [](#getting-parts-of-strings) When you need to get part of a string before or after a substring ``` $result = Text::left('foo','What is foo bar'); // 'What is ' $result = Text::right('foo','What is foo bar'); //' bar' ``` Checking the start and end of a string -------------------------------------- [](#checking-the-start-and-end-of-a-string) ``` $bool = Text::startsWith('What','What is foo bar'); // true $bool = Text::endsWith('bar','What is foo bar'); // true ``` Replace ------- [](#replace) To replace a substring with another string ``` $result = Text::replace('foo','***','What is foo bar'); // 'What is *** bar' $result = Text::replace('foo','***','What is FOO bar',['insensitive'=>true]); // 'What is *** bar' ``` Insert ------ [](#insert) To insert values into a string using placeholders (string interpolation) ``` $string = Text::insert('Record {id} has been updated',[ 'id'=>1234568 ]); // Record 1234568 has been updated ``` Another example: ``` $letter = file_get_contents('/directory/some-file'); $string = Text::insert($letter,[ 'salutation' => 'Mr.', 'first_name' => 'Tony', 'last_name' => 'Robbins', 'address_1' => '100 Santa Monica Road', ]); ``` You can also change the place holders ``` $string = Text::insert('Record :id has been updated',[ 'id'=>1234568,'before'=>':','after'=>'' ]); // Record 1234568 has been updated ``` Tokenize -------- [](#tokenize) For quick and easy parsing of strings, the Tokenize method makes things simple. By default `tokenize` splits strings using a comma `,` and quotation mark `"` as an enclosure. ``` $string = '2019-07-10 13:30:00 192.168.1.22 "GET /users/login HTTP/1.0" 200 1024'; $result = Text::tokenize($string,['separator'=>' ']); /* // Will give you this [ '2019-07-10', '13:30:00', '192.168.1.22', 'GET /users/login HTTP/1.0', '200', '1024' ]; */ ``` You can also supply keys instead which will be mapped. ``` $string = '2019-07-10 13:30:00 192.168.1.22 "GET /users/login HTTP/1.0" 200 1024'; $result = Text::tokenize($string,[ 'separator'=>' ', 'keys'=>['date','time','ip','request','code','bytes'] ]); /* // Will give you this [ 'date'=>'2019-07-10', 'time'=>'13:30:00', 'ip' => '192.168.1.22', 'request' =>'GET /users/login HTTP/1.0', 'code'=>'200', 'bytes'=>'1024' ]; */ ``` Truncate -------- [](#truncate) To truncate a string if it is longer than a specific length. The default length is 30. ``` $truncated = Text::truncate($string,['length'=>50,'end'=>'... truncated']); ``` Word Wrap --------- [](#word-wrap) To wordwrap a string ``` $wrapped = Text::wordWrap($string); // default is 80 $wrapped = Text::wordWrap($string,['width'=>50]); ``` Other ----- [](#other) Other handy string functions (through `mb_string`) ``` $lowerCase = Text::toLower($string); $uppserCase = Text::toUpper($string); $int = Text::length($string); ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
