Violin 🎻

Violin is a multibyte-compliant, OOP string manipulation library., _(*2)

It is heavily inspired by Stringy, with a main focus on performance: when dealing with thousands of strings, it is sometimes counter-productive to rely on mb_* functions, which perform up to 4 times slower than normal str_* functions, when you manipulate ASCII strings., _(*3)

Violin will detect the string's encoding, then decide wether or not to use the mbstring extension (or the Symfony polyfill if the extension is not loaded)., _(*4)

Installation

PHP 7.1+ is required., _(*5)

composer require bentools/violin 1.0.x-dev

Tests

./vendor/bin/phpunit

Usage

use BenTools\Violin\Violin;

$str = 'fòöbàř     🤗';
print Violin::tune($str)
        ->toUpperCase()
        ->ensureLeft('Welcome ')
        ->collapseWhitespace(); // Welcome FÒÖBÀŘ 🤗
