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 = newText('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 = newText('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.
