Requirements

• PHP >= 7.2

Install with Composer

composer require phlak/twine

Getting Started

First, import Twine:

use PHLAK\Twine;

Then instantiate a Twine object by newing up a Twine\Str object and passing your string as the first parameter.

$string = new Twine\Str('john pinkerton');

You may also instantiate a Twine\Str object statically via the make() method.

$string = Twine\Str::make('john pinkerton');

Or use the global str() helper method. The method takes a string as the only parameter and returns a Twine\Str object.

$string = str('john pinkerton');

Once you have a concrete Twine\Str instance you may treat it like any other string. This includes echoing it or using any of PHP's built in string functions against it.

echo $string; // Echos 'john pinkerton'

str_shuffle($string) // Returns something like 'enoipo ktnjhnr'

strlen($string); // Returns 14

At this point you're ready to start using Twine by calling any of its many built in methods.

Available Methods

after • append • base64 • base64Decode • base64Encode • bcrypt • before • camelCase • characters • chunk • contains • count • crc32 • crypt • decrypt • echo • encoding • encrypt • endsWith • equals • explode • first • format • from • hex • hexEncode • hexDecode • insensitiveMatch • insert • in • isAlphabetic • isAlphanumeric • isEmpty • isLowercase • isNotEmpty • isNumeric • isPrintable • isPunctuation • isUppercase • isWhitespace • join • kebabCase • last • length • lowercase • lowercaseFirst • lowercaseWords • matches • md5 • nth • pad • padBoth • padLeft • padRight • pascalCase • prepend • repeat • replace • reverse • sha1 • sha256 • shuffle • similarity • snakeCase • split • startsWith • strip • studlyCase • substring • to • trim • trimLeft • trimRight • truncate • uppercase • uppercaseFirst • uppercaseWords • url • words • wrap • wrapHard • wrapSoft

Method Chaining

A Twine string can be manipulated fluently by chaining methods. Here are a few example chains:

Perform a substring comparison:

$string = new Twine\Str('john pinkerton');

$string->substring(5, 4)->equals('pink'); // Returns true

Encode a file in compliance with RFC 2045.

$string = new Twine\Str(file_get_contents('garbage.bin'));

$string->base64()->wrap(76, "\r\n", Twine\Config\Wrap::HARD);
