README

jBBCode is a bbcode parser written in php 5.3. It's relatively lightweight and parses bbcodes without resorting to expensive regular expressions.

Documentation

For complete documentation and examples visit jbbcode.com.

A basic example

jBBCode includes a few optional, default bbcode definitions that may be loaded through the DefaultCodeDefinitionSet class. Below is a simple example of using these codes to convert a bbcode string to html.

<?php
require_once "/path/to/jbbcode/Parser.php";

$parser = new JBBCode\Parser();
$parser->addCodeDefinitionSet(new JBBCode\DefaultCodeDefinitionSet());

$text = "The default codes include: [b]bold[/b], [i]italics[/i], [u]underlining[/u], ";
$text .= "[url=http://jbbcode.com]links[/url], [color=red]color![/color] and more.";

$parser->parse($text);

print $parser->getAsHtml();

Composer

You may load jBBCode via composer. In your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "jbbcode/jbbcode": "1.3.*"
}

In your php file:

require 'vendor/autoloader.php';

$parser = new JBBCode\Parser();

Contribute

I would love help maintaining jBBCode. Look at open issues for ideas on what needs to be done. Before submitting a pull request, verify that all unit tests still pass.

Running unit tests

To run the unit tests, ensure that phpunit is installed, or install it through the composer dev dependencies. Then run phpunit from the project directory. If you're adding new functionality, writing additional unit tests is a great idea.
