What is this? And what is Figlet?

This is a PHP 8.2+ library which renders or outputs Figlet text in your console. Figlet is a computer program that generates text banners, in a variety of typefaces, composed of letters made up of conglomerations of smaller ASCII characters

Usage

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Amasiye\Figlet\Figlet;

// Default font is "big"
$figlet = new Figlet();

//Outputs "Figlet" text using "small" red font in blue background.
$figlet
    ->setFont('small')
    ->setFontColor('red')
    ->setBackgroundColor('blue')
    ->write('Figlet');

//Returns rendered string.
$renderedFiglet = $figlet->render('Another Figlet');

// Change default font directory
$figlet->setFontDir(__DIR__ . '/fonts');

// Add spaces between letters
$figlet->setFontStretching(3);

Also there is figlet command line. Usage is quite straightforward.

    ./figlet 'some figlet text' --font block --color yellow --bg-color blue --stretching 2

To make figlet executable from everywhere

• (Linux and OSX) Symlink figlet script file to one of the $PATH (e.g /usr/local/bin/figlet)

For more options:

    ./figlet -h
