README

A package to replace words in a text with values from a array. Also supports aliases and excluded properties.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require singlequote/laravel-text-parser

Basic Usage

Parser::text('Hello [who]')->values(['who' => 'world'])->parse(); // Hello world

Parser::text('Hello {who}')->values(['who' => 'world'])->tags(['{', '}'])->parse(); // Hello world

Parser::text('Hello [who]')->values(['who' => 'world'])->exclude(['who'])->parse(); // Hello [who]

Parser::text('Hello [what]')->values(['who' => 'world'])->aliases(['what' => 'who'])->parse(); // Hello world

Using arrays as values

$values = [
    'user' => [
        'name' => [
            'first_name' => 'Foo',
            'last_name' => 'Bar'
        ],
        'email' => 'example@example.com'
    ]
];

$input = "[user.name.first_name][user.name.last_name] - [user.email]";

$result = Parser::text($input)->values($values)->parse();

will generate FooBar - example@example.com

Available methods

All methods can be chained together like text()->values()->aliases() and can be in any order. But you always have to start with the text() function.

text

This sets the string you want to parse

    $parser = Parser::text('string')

values

This sets the values to use while parsing. Must be a array

    $parser->values([]);

exclude

Sets the keys which are excluded from parsing

    $parser->exclude(['key', 'key2']);

aliases

Sets the aliases. Aliases can be used to map a value to a different name. So for example you can set the aliases to ['name' => 'username'] to map username to name

    $parser->exclude(['alias', 'value key']);

parse

Parses the text and returns the parsed string

    $parser->exclude(['alias', 'value key']);

Testing

composer test
