extracts social media links for an array of links eg. twitter, facebook etc.

SMLE - Social Media Link Extractor (smile) :)

My first package!, _(*1)

The idea is to create a nice easy way to extract the social media links from an array of links. For use in my webspider, _(*2)

Installation

add, _(*3)

composer require allotmentandy/socialmedialinkextractor, _(*4)

to use with laravel

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use allotmentandy\SocialMediaLinkExtractor\SocialMediaLinkExtractorController;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $smle = new SocialMediaLinkExtractorController;
        $linkArray = ["http", "http2", "http://twitter.com/andy", "http://www.twitter.com/londiniumcom", "http://www.facebook.com"];
        echo $smle->countLinks($linkArray);
        echo "



";
        echo $smle->getTwitter($linkArray);
        echo "



";
        echo $smle->getFacebook($linkArray);
    }
}

Here is the full list, _(*5)

        $smle = new \allotmentandy\socialmedialinkextractor\SocialMediaLinkExtractorController();
        echo "<h4>Social Media</h4>";
        echo $smle->getTwitter($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getFacebook($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getYoutube($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getInstagram($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getLinkedin($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getGoogle($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getPinterest($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getGithub($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getFlickr($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getTumblr($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getTiktok($linkArray) . "<br>";
        echo $smle->getRss($linkArray) . "<br>";
