PHP Helpers
===========

[](#php-helpers)

Just some raw and useful helpers functions.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require this package with composer.

```
composer require straylightagency/helpers
```

API Documentation
-----------------

[](#api-documentation)

Format a comma separated float "65,25" into a regular dotted float "65.25", useful for pricing.

```
price_format(num: mixed, decimals: int = 2, decimal_separator: ?string = ".", thousands_separator: ?string = "" ): float
```

Check if an int|float value is within a certain bound. If the value is in range it returns the value, if the value is not in range it returns the nearest bound.

```
clamp(value: int|float, min: int|float, max: int|float): float|int
```

Get the contents of a svg file, applying a class list on it before returning if `$class_list` is not null.

```
svg_get_contents(file_path: string, class_list: ?string = null): string
```

Convert iso code to emoji.

```
iso_to_emoji(code: string): string
```

Same as array\_map but the callback get the key associated to the value.

```
array_map_keys(callback: ?callable, array: array): array
```

Do a preg\_match\_all using callback with patterns.

```
preg_match_callback_array(patterns: array, subject: string): array
```

Equivalent to array\_diff but recursively.

```
array_recursive_diff(a: array, b: array):array
```

Remove the first item(s) of an array if values are empty.

```
array_clean_first(array $array): array
```

Remove the last item(s) of an array if values are empty.

```
array_clean_last(array $array): array
```

Ensure the value is an array, otherwise returns an empty array. Avoid foreach error when the value is not an expected array.

```
array_safe(array: mixed): array
```

Explode a content string into an array of multiple lines based on carriage return characters.

```
split_content(string $content): array
```

Remove the `` tags on a text.

```
strip_p(string $string): string
```

Easy way to split a text after $limit words without cutting through the middle of a word.

```
text_excerpt(string $text, int $limit = 35, string $end = '...'): string
```

Return a valid Google map url using address information provided. Second parameter `itinerary` allows to return an itinerary path instead of a pin on the map.

```
google_map_url(address: array, itinerary: bool = false): string
```

Find the ID of a video from the Vimeo url. Return null if it failed.

```
vimeo_id(vimeo_url: string): ?int
```

Find the ID of a video from the YouTube url. Return null if it failed.

```
youtube_id(youtube_url: string): ?string
```
