README

Turns (large) integers into easier to remember Japanese sounding words and vice versa.

This is a port of the Ruby module rufus-mnemo.

Requirements

This library uses PSR-0 compliant namespaces, thus requiring PHP 5.3 or later.

There are no further dependencies.

Installation

This library is available as a Composer package. Add the following to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "blendwerk/mnemo": "master"
    }
}

Alternatively clone this repo and use a PSR-0 compliant autoloader or manually require Mnemo.php.

Usage

<?php

use Blendwerk\Mnemo\Mnemo;

Mnemo::fromInteger(125704);
  # => "karasu"

Mnemo::toInteger('karasu');
  # => 125704
  
Mnemo::fromInteger(-173866);
  # => winamote (Negative integers are prefixed with the "wi" syllable.)

Mnemo::isMnemoWord('kazuma');
  # => true
  
Mnemo::isMnemoWord('richard');
  # => false
  
?>

Motivation

I mainly started this project as an exercise in current open source and PHP standards:

• PSR-0, PSR-1 and PSR-2 coding standards
• Packaging using Composer
• Distribution via Packagist
• Testing with PHPUnit
• Continuous integration with Travis
• Inline code documentation according to phpDocumentor
• Version control on GitHub

While none of these are entirely new to me, I felt the urge to go through the whole process once and have a proper project applying best practices out there, hopefully paving the way for many more to come.
