README

A PHP library to parse and write chess games in the portable game notation (PGN) format.

Installation

Via composer

composer require chesszebra/portable-game-notation

Usage

Reading

From a string

Reading a single PGN game from a string:

use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Reader\StringReader;

$reader = new StringReader('1. e4 e5');

$tokenIterator = $reader->read();

From a stream

Reading a single PGN game from a stream:

use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Reader\StringReader;

$reader = new StreamReader(fopen('games.pgn', 'r'));

$tokenIterator = $reader->read();

Writing

To a string

Wriring a PGN game to a string:

use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\TokenIterator;
use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Token\StandardAlgebraicNotation;
use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Writer\StringWriter;
use ChessZebra\StandardAlgebraicNotation\Notation;

$tokenIterator = new TokenIterator([
    new MoveNumber(1),
    new StandardAlgebraicNotation(new Notation('e4')),
]);

$writer = new StringWriter();
$writer->write($tokenIterator);

$pgn = $writer->getPgn();

To a stream

Wriring a PGN game to a stream:

use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\TokenIterator;
use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Token\StandardAlgebraicNotation;
use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Writer\Stream;
use ChessZebra\StandardAlgebraicNotation\Notation;

$tokenIterator = new TokenIterator([
    new MoveNumber(1),
    new StandardAlgebraicNotation(new Notation('e4')),
]);

$writer = new Stream(fopen('game.pgn', 'w'));
$writer->write($tokenIterator);

Tokenizing games

From a string

use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Lexer\StringLexer;

$lexer = new StringLexer('1. e4');

$token = $lexer->getNextToken();

From a resource

use ChessZebra\PortableGameNotation\Lexer\StreamLexer;

$lexer = new StreamLexer(fopen('my-games.pgn', 'r'));

$token = $lexer->getNextToken();
