README

This is a PHP wrapper for the After the Deadline API

After the Deadline is a language checker for the web with: Contextual Spell Checking, Advanced Style Checking and Intelligent Grammar Checking

Installation

Install this package through Composer.

Add this to your composer.json dependencies:

"require": {
   "robbiep/afterthedeadline": "^0.0"
}

Run composer install to download the required files.

Usage

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$atd = new \RobbieP\Afterthedeadline\Afterthedeadline(['key' => md5('<unique string>')]);

$atd->checkDocument("I started my schooling as the majority did in my area, at the local primarry school.");

# `getResults` will return an array of objects (Spelling, Grammar, Suggestion) or `false` if there were no results
$results = $atd->getResults();

# (Optionally) you can get formatted text back where the results have been wrapped with 
# <span class="atd-{type}" data-suggestions="{suggestions}">word</span>

echo $atd->getFormatted();

Results in:

<div id="atd-content">I started my schooling as the 
<span class="atd-suggestion" data-info="" data-suggestions="['greatest','most']">majority</span> 
did in my area, at the local 
<span class="atd-spelling" data-suggestions="['primary','primacy','primarily','remarry']">primarry</span> 
school.</div>

(Experimental) I've written some basic JavaScript using jQuery and Bootstrap to provide a simple UI to correct/ignore the results

echo $m->getFormatted()->getStylesAndScript(); ?>

Support for other languages

At the moment After the Deadline supports English by default but German de, French fr, Spanish es, Portugese pt

You can either set it in the constructor:

$atd = new \RobbieP\Afterthedeadline\Afterthedeadline(['key' => md5('<unique string>'), 'lang' => 'de']);
# You must use 2 letter country code

Or you can set it inline:

$atd = new \RobbieP\Afterthedeadline\Afterthedeadline(['key' => md5('<unique string>')]);
$atd->setLanguage(\RobbieP\Afterthedeadline\Language::GERMAN);

If you're using it in Laravel...

I've included a ServiceProvider class and a config if you need to change any options. You need to add the ServiceProvider to config/app.php

'providers' => array(
    ...
    RobbieP\Afterthedeadline\AfterthedeadlineServiceProvider::class
)

If you want to use the Facade:

'aliases' => array(
    ...
    'Afterthedeadline' => RobbieP\Afterthedeadline\Facades\Afterthedeadline::class,
)

You will need to publish the config php artisan vendor:publish put your self generated API key in there.

Usage (in Laravel)

$results = \Afterthedeadline::checkDocument("some content")
                            ->getResults();
