awssat / Str Helper
Projects that are alternatives of or similar to Str Helper
str-helper
⚡️ A flexible, simple & yet powerful string manipulation helper for PHP. It gives you the magic of method chaining and it's easier and shorter to be included in views. It Supports most of PHP built-in strings functions (and other useful methods like: contains, equal, append, prepend ...).
str('Hi World')->replace(' ', '+')->lower();
Why use this instead of other string maniplulation packages ?
This is a wrapper for PHP default string functions, to provide a very poweful method chaining and conditions. You don't have to learn new methods names, just use PHP functions names that you know.
Install/Use
You can install the package via composer locally in your project folder:
$ composer require awssat/str-helper
After installing it, just start using StrHelper class, or simply the helper function str():
Examples
str('Hi Hello')->strReplace(' ', '-');
>> hi-hello
str('Hi Hello')->prepend('[')->append(']');
>> [Hi Hello]
In case you want an explicit string value for conditions, use "get":
if(str('Hi')->lower->get() == 'hi') {
echo 'yes';
}
>> yes
There is a "tap" method:
str('LINK.COM')->tap(function($v){ print($v); })->lower();
>> LINK.COM
for callbacks use "do" method:
str('<a>link.com</a>')->do(function($string){
return strip_tags($string);
});
>> link.com
or:
str('<a>link.com</a>')->do(function(){
$this->stripTags();
});
>> link.com
you may notice using camelCase instead of snake_case for method name works too.
You can also use conditions, if(..), else(), endif()
str('<html>hi</html>')
->ifContains('hi')
->upper();
>> <HTML>HI</HTML>
if can take an anonymous function
str('<html>hi</html>')
->if(function(){
return $this->contains('hi');
})
->upper();
>> <HTML>HI</HTML>
All methods are availabe to be called statically, as:
StrHelper::capitalize('life');
or using str() function.
str()::capitalize('nomad');
[UTF-8 Support] If mbstring library is installed and you call a strpos function, mb_strpos will be called instead.
