Overview
--------

[](#overview)

This library provides a consistent, self-explaining layer to accomplish string related tasks.

Speaking method names make string operations more readable and reveal the intention clearly. Please compare the following, common snippets regarding readability:

```
// Native:
if (strpos($log, 'failure') !== false) {
    // [...]
}

// With StringUtil:
if (StringUtil::contains($log, 'failure')) {
    // [...]
}

```

In contrast to the built-in PHP string functions, the library provides methods with consistent signatures, which always expect the subject string as first parameter.

### Known Restrictions

[](#known-restrictions)

This library is meant for common, light-weight string operations. It is currently not designed for heavy, complex string tasks such as transparent charset handling.

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

[](#installation)

Add the following to your composer.json (see [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/)):

```
"require" :  {
    // ...
    "wuzzitor/string-util": "~1.0"
}

```

Concept
-------

[](#concept)

The library provides a single class (`Wuzzitor\StringUtil`), whose static methods are the entry points for all string operations.

All methods are stateless to ensure full testability and to avoid code that is hard to debug.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Example:

```
use Wuzzitor\StringUtil;

$filename = 'example.php';
$withoutExtension = StringUtil::removeSuffix($filename, '.php);
// $withoutExtension == 'example'

```

The following signatures show all available operations:

- `StringUtil::startsWith(string $subject, string $prefix) : boolean`
- `StringUtil::endsWith(string $subject, string $suffix) : boolean`
- `StringUtil::contains(string $subject, string $needle) : boolean`
- `StringUtil::containsAny(string $subject, string[] $needles) : boolean`
- `StringUtil::containsAll(string $subject, string[] $needles) : boolean`
- `StringUtil::removePrefix(string $subject, string $prefix) : string`
- `StringUtil::removeSuffix(string $subject, string $suffix) : string`
- `StringUtil::replace(string $subject, string $search, string $replace) : string`
- `StringUtil::replace(string $subject, array $searchReplaceMapping) : string`
