Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require respect/string-formatter ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) You can use individual formatters directly or chain multiple formatters together using the `FormatterBuilder`: ``` echo f::create() ->mask('7-12') ->pattern('#### #### #### ####') ->format('1234123412341234'); // Output: 1234 12** **** 1234 ``` ### Using Formatters as Modifiers [](#using-formatters-as-modifiers) The `PlaceholderFormatter` allows you to use any formatter as a modifier within templates: ``` use Respect\StringFormatter\PlaceholderFormatter; $formatter = new PlaceholderFormatter([ 'date' => '2024-01-15', 'amount' => '1234.56', 'phone' => '1234567890', ]); echo $formatter->format('Date: {{date|date:Y/m/d}}, Amount: ${{amount|number:2}}, Phone: {{phone|pattern:(###) ###-####}}'); // Output: Date: 2024/01/15, Amount: $1,234.56, Phone: (123) 456-7890 ``` See the [PlaceholderFormatter documentation](docs/PlaceholderFormatter.md) and [FormatterModifier documentation](docs/modifiers/FormatterModifier.md) for more details.
