Lexicology
PHP lexicology library.
While we only test PHP 7+, this library does work with PHP 5.x. PHP Sorting methods changed how they deal with equal sort values in 7+ - so suggestion arrays will differ.
- Suggests values from an array based on a lexical comparison
- Return sorted array based on lexical comparison
- Pick best match from an array
- Pick best match associations between arrays
Core Lexical Comparisons
- levenshtein using
LevenshteinDistance
- preg_grep using
PregGrep
- similar_text using
Similarity
- soundex using
Soundex
Also allows custom lexical comparison by extending Celestial\Lexicology\Method\AbstractMethod
and implementing Celestial\Lexicology\Method\MethodInterface
. See Custom Method
Install
Composer
composer require celestial\lexicology
or composer.json
{ "require": { "celestial/lexicology": "^0.1" } }
Use
Suggestion
The Suggestion
class will suggest an array or value that match closely to a needle.
The default method is PregGrep but that can be changed to one of the other methods or a custom method.
<?php use Celestial\Lexicology\Suggestion; $suggestionOptions = [ 'string', 'new string', 'value', 'variable' ]; $suggestion = new Suggestion(); $suggestions = $suggestion->getSuggestions('string', $suggestionOptions); print_r($suggestions); //Array //( // [0] => string // [1] => new string //)
Attempting to get a single 'best' suggestion value will return a string or throw an exception. If you need to suppress the exception and return a non-standard or shared value (such as a meta field or constant) use the fourth parameter to override the result.
<?php use Celestial\Lexicology\Suggestion; $suggestionOptions = [ 'string', 'new string', 'value', 'variable' ]; $suggestion = new Suggestion(); $suggestions = $suggestion->getSingleSuggestion('string', $suggestionOptions); print_r($suggestions); // ['string']
Supressing an exception:
<?php use Celestial\Lexicology\Suggestion; $suggestion = new Suggestion(); $suggestions = $suggestion->getSingleSuggestion('string',[], null, 'meta'); print_r($suggestions); // ['meta']
Custom Method
A custom Method definition must implement either a FilterInterface
or RateInterface
<?php use Celestial\Lexicology\Method\AbstractMethod; use Celestial\Lexicology\Method\Interfaces\FilterInterface; use Celestial\Lexicology\Method\Interfaces\SortInterface; class CustomMethod extends AbstractMethod implements SortInterface, FilterInterface { use \Celestial\Lexicology\Method\Traits\SortTrait; /** * Return a sort value if either a or b match. * * @inheritdoc */ public function sortPair($a, $b) { if ($a === $b) { return 0; } elseif ($a === $this->getField()) { return 1; } elseif ($b === $this->getField()) { return -1; } return null; } /** * Return a filter array of string that have more than 5 characters * * @inheritdoc */ public function filter($possibleValues) { return array_values(array_filter($possibleValues, function($value){ return (strlen($value) > 5); })); } }
While this custom method doesn't do anything extraordinary, it's a basic example of the interfaces for a lexical method.
<?php use Celestial\Lexicology\Suggestion; use Lexicology\Test\Method\CustomMethod; $suggestionOptions = [ 'string', 'strings', 'new string', 'value', 'variable' ]; $suggestion = new Suggestion(); $suggestions = $suggestion->getSuggestions('string', $suggestionOptions, CustomMethod::class); print_r($suggestions); //Array //( // [0] => new string // [1] => strings // [2] => variable // [3] => string //)
