The `Sonnn\BBCode` package will help you with parsing BBCode.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require sonnn/bbcode
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To parse some text it's as easy as this!

```
$bbcode = new Sonnn\BBCode\BBCodeParser;

echo $bbcode->parse('[b]Bold Text![/b]');
// Bold Text!
```

Would like the parser to not use all bbcodes? Just do like this.

```
$bbcode = new Sonnn\BBCode\BBCodeParser;

echo $bbcode->only('bold', 'italic')
            ->parse('[b][u]Bold[/u] [i]Italic[/i]![/b]');
            // [u]Bold[/u] Italic!

echo $bbcode->except('bold')
            ->parse('[b]Bold[/b] [i]Italic[/i]');
            // [b]Bold[/b] Italic
```

By default the parser is case sensitive. But if you would like the parser to accept tags like `[B]Bold Text[/B]` it's really easy.

```
$bbcode = new Sonnn\BBCode\BBCodeParser;

// Case insensitive
echo $bbcode->parse('[b]Bold[/b] [I]Italic![/I]', true);
     // Bold Italic!

// Or like this

echo $bbcode->parseCaseInsensitive('[b]Bold[/b] [i]Italic[/i]');
     // Bold Italic!
```

You could also make it more explicit that the parser is case sensitive by using another helper function.

```
    $bbcode = new Sonnn\BBCode\BBCodeParser;

    echo $bbcode->parseCaseSensitive('[b]Bold[/b] [I]Italic![/I]');
         // Bold [I]Italic![/I]
```

If you would like to completely remove all BBCode it's just one function call away.

```
    $bbcode = new Sonnn\BBCode\BBCodeParser;

    echo $bbcode->stripBBCodeTags('[b]Bold[/b] [i]Italic![/i]');
         // Bold Italic!
```

Laravel integration
-------------------

[](#laravel-integration)

The integration into Laravel is really easy, and the method is the same for both Laravel 4 and Laravel 5. Just open your `app.php` config file.

In there you just add this to your providers array

```
'Sonnn\BBCode\BBCodeParserServiceProvider'
```

And this to your facades array

```
'BBCode' => 'Sonnn\BBCode\Facades\BBCodeParser'
```

The syntax is the same as if you would use it in vanilla PHP but with the `BBCode::` before the methods. Here are some examples.

```
// Simple parsing
echo BBCode::parse('[b]Bold Text![/b]');

// Limiting the parsers with the only method
echo BBCode::only('bold', 'italic')
        ->parse('[b][u]Bold[/u] [i]Italic[/i]![/b]');
        // [u]Bold[/u] Italic!

// Or the except method
echo BBCode::except('bold')
        ->parse('[b]Bold[/b] [i]Italic[/i]');
        // [b]Bold[/b] Italic
```
