README

## Introduction

This Symfony Bundle provides tools to convert an integer to a label like roman numeral, capital or lowercase letter

Label types currently supported are :

• Roman numeral : I, II, III, ...
• Capital letter : A, B, C, ...
• Lowercase letter : a, b, c, ...
• Arabic numeral : 1, 2, 3, ... (if you want to keep integers)

Tools included are :

• Form field type : Choices list which allows you to choose among label types to convert to
• Service to convert in your controllers
• Twig filter to convert integers in your templates

Installation

### Install GpatonLabelConverterBundle

Simply run assuming you have installed composer.phar or composer binary:

$ php composer.phar require gpaton/labelconverter-bundle 1.0.*

### Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Gpaton\LabelConverterBundle\GpatonLabelConverterBundle(),

    );
}

## Usage

3 tools are provided to make your life easier, but you may not need to use all of them.

### Form field type

This tool is useful when you want to let the user choose in a form among label conversion types to use. Let's say for instance that you want the user to choose what type of label to use before answers in a quiz.

Add the form field in your Question form :

<?php
// Acme\DemoBundle\Form\QuestionType

// ...

class QuestionType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add(
            conversion',
            'gpaton_labelconverter',
            array(
                'label' => 'What kind of label to you want to use ?',
            )
        );
    }
}

You just have to get converter type choosen in your controller :

<?php
// Acme\DemoBundle\Controller\QuestionController

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Acme\DemoBundle\Form\QuestionType;

class QuestionController extends Controller {

    public function indexAction(Request $request) {

        $form = $this->createForm(new QuestionType());
        $form->handleRequest($request);

        if ($form->isValid()) {

            $converterType = $form->get('conversion')->getData();

        }

        // ...
    }
}

Service

To use the converter in your controller, load the service gpaton.labelconverter.factory then call the getLabel method like this :

<?php
// Acme\DemoBundle\Controller\QuestionController

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class QuestionController extends Controller {

    public function indexAction() {

        $labelConverterFactory = $this->get('gpaton.labelconverter.factory');

        $label = $labelConverterFactory->getLabel('RomanNumeral', 3);

        // ...
    }
}

the getlabel method takes 2 arguments :

1. Converter type among the 4 currently supported :

   • RomanNumeral : I, II, III, ...
   • CapitalLetter : A, B, C, ...
   • LowercaseLetter : a, b, c, ...
   • ArabicNumeral : 1, 2, 3, ... (if you want to keep integers)

2. The integer to convert

### Twig filter

Use filter with converter type in argument :

// Acme\DemoBundle\Resources\views\Demo\index.html.twig

Question 1 : Do you lifke pancakes ?<br />
{{ 1 | tolabel('CapitalLetter') }}/ Yes<br />
{{ 2 | tolabel('CapitalLetter') }}/ No

This template will render :

Question 1 : Do you like pancakes ?
A/ Yes
B/ No

Choose converter type among the 4 currently supported :

• RomanNumeral : I, II, III, ...
• CapitalLetter : A, B, C, ...
• LowercaseLetter : a, b, c, ...
• ArabicNumeral : 1, 2, 3, ... (if you want to keep integers)

## Additonnal notes

### Letter conversion after 26

When you try to convert an integer greater than 26 to a capital or lowercase letter, the bundle use the system used by Excel with its columns names :

• 26 -> Z
• 27 -> AA
• 28 -> AB
• 29 -> AC
• ...

Integers supported

Only integers strictly greater than 0 are supported. Other numbers will throw a LabelConverterException you may catch.

### Invalid converter type

If you try to convert an integer by using a non existent converter type, a LabelConverterException will be thrown.
