Utilities
=========

[](#utilities)

This package provides common utility capabilities for PHP applications.

One set of utility classes is focused on International Components for Unicode (ICU ) datasets. For the following components, default ICU datasets are available as configuration files:

- Locales
- Currencies
- Timezones

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

[](#installation)

composer require timatanga/unicode

Basic Usage International Components for Unicode (ICU)
------------------------------------------------------

[](#basic-usage-international-components-for-unicode-icu)

While creating instances of utility classes, default datasets are loaded from config files.

```
// create new currency class loads default configuration
$currencies = new Currency();
$locales = new Locale();
$timezones = new Timezone();

```

Datasets are searchable with key value pairs

```
// search for datasets
$currency = $currencies->search('code', 'USD']);
$locale = $locales->search('code', 'de']);

```

Custom Usage International Components for Unicode (ICU)
-------------------------------------------------------

[](#custom-usage-international-components-for-unicode-icu)

Custom utility datasets can be loaded via the constructor method. Custom datasets must comply to the internal data structure

```
// create new currency class with custom dataset
$currencies = new Currency([...]);
$locales = new Locale([...]);
$timezones = new Timezone([...]);

```
