Text - Simple 1 Class Text Manipulation Library

Do you remember PHP's string functions? If not, just wrap you text with Text! It will save a minute on your coding.

Text is extracted from kzykhys/Ciconia. this is used for markdown processing.

Installation

Modify your composer.json and run php composer.phar update

{
    "require": {
        "kzykhys/text":"~1.0.0"
    }
}

Requirements

PHP5.4+

Get Started

Text acts like a string

<?php

use KzykHys\Text\Text;

$text = new Text('Lorem Ipsum');
echo $text;

// Lorem Ipsum

Text can also be called statically

<?php

use KzykHys\Text\Text;

$text = Text::create('Lorem Ipsum');
echo $text;

// Lorem Ipsum

Manipulation methods are chainable:

$text = new Text('foo');
$text
    ->append('bar')     // foobar
    ->prepend('baz')    // bazfoobar
    ->wrap('-')         // -bazfoobar-
    ->upper()           // -BAZFOOBAR-
    ->lower()           // -bazfoobar-
    ->trim('-')         // bazfoobar
    ->rtrim('r')        // bazfooba
    ->ltrim('b')        // azfooba
;

Special note for replace()

$text = new Text('FooBarBaz');
$text->replace('/Foo(Bar)(Baz)/', function (Text $whole, Text $bar, Text $baz) {
    return $bar->upper()->append($baz->lower());
});
echo $text;

// BARbaz

If the second argument is callable, callback takes at least one parameter. The whole match being first, and matched subpatterns. All parameters are Text instance.
