Installation

Install with composer:

composer require fater/typography

Usage Examples

To run "Typography" with default formatting rules use this code example:

<?php

use Fater\Typography\Typography;

$formattedText = Typography::init()->apply('Your text');

echo $formattedText;

Create your own formatting rule

If you want to make special formatting rules you can make class from base rule template:

<?php

use Fater\Typography\Rules\Rule;
use Your\Namespace\Rules;

class YourOwnRule extends Rule
{
    public function handle(string $text): string
    {
        // Your code modification rules
        $text .= ' World!';
        
        // Return formatted text
        return $text;
    }
}

Add your rule to default formatting rules

Add your rule to the list of handlers to use it:

<?php

use Fater\Typography\Typography;
use Fater\Typography\TypographyRules;
use Your\Namespace\Rules\YourOwnRule;

$rules = TypographyRules::init()->addRules([YourOwnRule::class]);

// Text will be formatted with default list of rules including your rule
$formattedText = Typography::init($rules) // Set rules instance with your rule
    ->apply('Hello');

if you want to use only your rule

At the beginning clear all rules list, add your rule to the list of handlers to use it:

<?php

use Fater\Typography\Typography;
use Fater\Typography\TypographyRules;

$rules = TypographyRules::init()
    ->clearAll()
    ->addRules([YourOwnRule::class]);

// Text will be formatted only with your rule
$formattedText = Typography::init($rules) // Set rules instance with your rule
    ->apply('Hello');

echo $formattedText;

The above example will output:

Hello World!
