Bog Jug

A tool that makes it easier to work with regex groups. Mapped regex group to php-classes, because array is sucks.

Install

composer require ta-tikoma/bog-jug

Use

• Create a class for regex descriptions.
• Use property attributes for defined regex group: #[Group('...')] for group body; #[After] and #[Before] for defined outside symbols.
• If you need to indicate the count of a group, use attributes like #[ZeroOrOne], #[ZeroOrMore] and others from the namespace BogJug\Attributes\Count.
• Finally, you can add regex flags via the class attributes; for example: #[SingleLine].
• Now create instance of class BogJug and use one of two base methods:
  • Method ->one($regex, $text) to find the first value equal to regex; analogue: preg_match.
  • Method ->many($regex, $text) to get all values equal regex; analog: preg_match_all.

Sample example

1. Define class of descriptions.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace tests\Data;

use BogJug\Attributes\Flags\SingleLine;
use BogJug\Attributes\Regex\After;
use BogJug\Attributes\Regex\Group;

#[SingleLine]
final class TinWoodman
{
    public function __construct(
        #[Group('head'), After('.*')]
        public readonly string $noggin,
        #[Group('arms'), After('.*')]
        public readonly string $upperLimbs,
        #[Group('legs'), After('.*')]
        public readonly string $lowerLimbs,
        #[Group('body'), After('.*')]
        public readonly string $torso,
        #[Group('heart'), After('.*')]
        public readonly string|null $coeur,
    ) {
    }
}

2. Call method of BogJug.

        $bj = new BogJug();
        $tw = $bj->one(TinWoodman::class, <<<OZ
One of the big trees had been partly chopped through, and standing beside
it, with an uplifted axe in his hands, was a man made entirely of tin. His head
and arms and legs were jointed upon his body, but he stood perfectly motionless, 
as if he could not stir at all.
OZ);
        dump($tw);

3. Take result.

^ tests\Data\TinWoodman^ {#427
  +noggin: "head"
  +upperLimbs: "arms"
  +lowerLimbs: "legs"
  +torso: "body"
  +coeur: null
}
