> PHP uses a dot/period (`.`), many languages including javascript use `+`, whereas [Symfony Expression Language](https://github.com/symfony/expression-language) uses the tilde (`~`).

This library provides a translation layer on top of Expression Language that converts template strings in ES6 format\* to valid expression. While an updated Expression Language subclass is provided for convenience, you don't have to use it, and you can use the provided trait instead.

*\* only ES6 string interpolation (with any expressions and nesting) is supported; f.e. tagged templates are not.*

🔌 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

As always, the recommended and easiest way to install this library is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require "uuf6429/expression-language-tplstring"
```

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

If you do not plan on extending Symfony Expression Language class, you can use the provided drop-in:

```
$el = new \uuf6429\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionLanguageWithTplStr();
$el->evaluate('`hello ${name}!`', ['name'=>'mars']); // => hello mars!
```

Otherwise, you can subclass the desired Expression Language class and `use` the provided trait:

```
class MyEL extends \uuf6429\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionLanguageWithArrowFunc
{
    use \uuf6429\ExpressionLanguage\TemplateStringTranslatorTrait;

    public function compile($expression, array $names = [])
    {
        if (!$expression instanceof \Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ParsedExpression) {
            $expression = $this->translateTplToEl($expression);
        }

        return parent::compile($expression, $names);
    }

    public function evaluate($expression, array $values = [])
    {
        if (!$expression instanceof \Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ParsedExpression) {
            $expression = $this->translateTplToEl($expression);
        }

        return parent::evaluate($expression, $values);
    }
}

$el = new MyEL();
$el->evaluate(
    'users.map((user) -> { `hello ${user.name}!` }).join(` `)',
    [
        'users' => new \Illuminate\Support\Collection([
            (object)['name' => 'John', 'surname' => 'Doe'],
            (object)['name' => 'Jane', 'surname' => 'Roe'],
        ])
    ]
); // => hello John! hello Jane!
```
