Typography Rules for Laravel
============================

[](#typography-rules-for-laravel)

Rendering strings provided by users can result in unexpected typographic results. For instance, in most latin languages (such as french) it is recommended to add a non-breaking space in front of, amongst others, exclamation or question marks (`!` and `?`). Most users will probably just type a regular space, which could result in an unwanted line break just before these punctuation marks.

This simple package provides a `typography` macro for Laravel's `Str` facade and `Stringable` instances (created using `Str::of()` or `str()`) that will take care of these typographic details.

It is also possible to enhance this package by adding your own typographic rules.

```
$content = 'Mama mia !';

echo str($content)->typography();
```

```
Mama mia !

```

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require whitecube/laravel-string-typography
```

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

The package's ServiceProvider and therefore its `typography` macro will automatically be registered upon installation. You can start using it right away:

```
{{-- Using the "Str" facade --}}
{!! Str::typography($title) !!}

{{-- Using the "str()" helper --}}
{!! str($paragraph)->typography() !!}
```

Using `Stringable` instances, you can chain `typography` with other helper methods:

```
{!! str($text)->markdown()->typography() !!}
```

Note

Since the transformed strings contain HTML entities (such as ` `), don't forget to render them using `{!! !!}` instead of `{{ }}` in your Blade templates.

Default typographic rules
-------------------------

[](#default-typographic-rules)

KeyUsageDescription`non-breaking-punctuation`Remove unwanted line breaks in front of punctuationReplaces ` !`, ` ?`, ` :`, ` ;` with ` !`, ` ?`, ` :`, ` ;` respectively.`hellip`Use the correct "horizontal ellipsis" HTML entityReplaces `…`, `…`, `...`, `…` with `…`.Registering & removing typographic rules
--------------------------------------------

[](#registering--removing-typographic-rules)

```
use Whitecube\Strings\Typography;

Typography::rule(
    key: 'a-to-b',
    regex: '/a/',
    callback: fn(array $matches) => 'b',
);
```

By default all the previously registered typographic rules will be applied when using the new `typography` method. It is possible to globally remove one of them using:

```
use Whitecube\Strings\Typography;

Typography::remove('a-to-b');
```

Filtering typographic rules
---------------------------

[](#filtering-typographic-rules)

Call a single or a few specific rules:

```
{!! str($text)->typography(only: 'hellip') !!}
{!! str($text)->typography(only: ['hellip', 'non-breaking-punctuation']) !!}
```

Call all rules except a single or a few specific unwanted rules:

```
{!! str($text)->typography(except: 'hellip') !!}
{!! str($text)->typography(except: ['hellip', 'non-breaking-punctuation']) !!}
```
