VRiaNoDiacriticBundle

The symfony integration for nodiacritic library - tiny library that removes all diacritical signs from characters.

##Installation

Using Composer, run:

composer require vria/nodiacritic-bundle

Add the VRiaNoDiacriticBundle to your application kernel:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new VRia\Bundle\NoDiacriticBundle\VRiaNoDiacriticBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}

##Use

In controller:

$noDiacriticString = NoDiacritic::filter("Révolution française");

In Twig template:

{{ "Révolution française"|nodiacritic }}

As expected, the result is Revolution francaise.

As you can see nodiacritic library is aware of German and Danish particularities, and so is this integration. The bunble reads current locale from Request and pass it to filter function. In case the desired locale is different you can pass it as a parameter:

Ceci est une phrase allemande sans caractères spéciaux: {{ "Schöne straße"|nodiacritic("de") }}

will print Ceci est une phrase allemande sans caractères spéciaux: Schoene strasse.
