Installation

Usage

Creating a SmartString object

Either do

\Pataar\SmartString::create("Sample String");

Or

new \Pataar\SmartString("Sample String");

Using a SmartString object

After creating your SmartString, you can use several chainable methods to manipulate the string.

Some examples:

$sampletext = "Sample String";

echo \Pataar\SmartString::create($sampletext)->remove("String")->trim();
//which would echo "Sample"

echo \Pataar\SmartString::create($sampletext)->prefix("A new ")->normalize();
//which would echo "a-new-sample-string"

echo \Pataar\SmartString::create($sampletext)->toMd5WithSalt("Salting is good");
//which would echo "560fbd0056c4354c5dd0de0580c8c523"

echo \Pataar\SmartString::create($sampletext)->remove("String")->trim()->toLower()->prefix("String ");
//which would echo "String sample"
