Usage

Convert

Use case: converting an EAN (9782843449499) to an ISBN-13 (978-2-84344-949-9).

<?php

use Biblys\Isbn\Isbn;

try {
    $input = "9782843449499";
    $isbn13 = Isbn::convertToIsbn13($input);
    echo "ISBN-13: $isbn13"; // Prints ISBN-13: 978-2-84344-949-9
} catch(Exception $e) {
    echo "An error occurred while attempting to format ISBN $input: ".$e->getMessage();
}

All formatting methods:

• Isbn::convertToIsbn10
• Isbn::convertToIsbn13
• Isbn::convertToEan13
• Isbn::convertToGtin14
• Isbn::convertToIsbnA

Validate

Use case: validating an incorrectly formed ISBN-13 (978-2-843-44949-9, should be 978-2-84344-949-9).

<?php

use Biblys\Isbn\Isbn;

try {
    $input = "978-2-843-44949-9";
    Isbn::validateAsIsbn13($input);
    echo "ISBN $input is valid!";
} catch(Exception $e) { // Will throw because third hyphen is misplaced
    echo "ISBN $input is invalid: ".$e->getMessage();
}

All validating methods:

• Isbn::validateAsIsbn10
• Isbn::validateAsIsbn13
• Isbn::validateAsEan13
• Isbn::isParsable

Parse

Use case: extracting the publisher code from an ISBN.

<?php
use Biblys\Isbn\Isbn;

$input = "9782956420132";
$isbn = Isbn::parse($input);
echo $isbn->getRegistrantElement(); // Prints "9564201"

Isbn::parse returns a ParsedIsbn object implementing the following methods:

• ParsedIsbn->getGs1Element:: EAN product code
• ParsedIsbn->getRegistrationGroupElement: Country, geographical region or language aera code
• ParsedIsbn->getRegistrantElement: Publisher (or imprint within a group) code
• ParsedIsbn->getPublicationElement: Publication code
• ParsedIsbn->getCheckDigit: Checksum used for validation

Development

Using Gitpod

You can start a dev environment by clicking and start hacking in your browser right away!

Locally

If you'd rather set up a local dev environment, you'll need:

• PHP 7.x
• Composer
• (Optional) Docker to run tests and debug against different version of PHP

Clone this repository and run composer install to get started!

Tests

Run tests with PHPUnit:

composer install
composer test

Run tests in a docker container:

composer docker:test

Run tests in a docker container using a specific PHP version:

PHP_VERSION=7.1 composer docker:test

ISBN ranges update

New ISBN ranges may be added from time to time by the International ISBN Agency. Whenever it happens, this library must be updated. If a range update is necessary, please open an issue on GitHub. You can also open a pull request after updating the ranges your self with the following commands:

composer install
composer run update-ranges

Or using a docker container:

composer docker:update-ranges
