roksta/punctuator

very simple punctuation for texts.

Punctuator for Laravel

A simple punctuator for texts. Adds spaces after punctuation marks and formats texts., _(*1)

How It Works

It is just a simple script that accespts a string and inspects it so that: The text begins with an uppercase character. After every fullstop(.) or question mark(?), there is a space and the next work begins with an uppercase character. After every comma(,), there is a space., _(*2)

It is especially useful for formating user input before saving them to the database. It takes advantage of Laravel's model listeners through a Spacer.php trait., _(*3)

Usage

use Roksta\Punctuator\Spacer;

class MyModel extends Model
{
    use Spacer;
    /**
    * set the columns you wish to punctuate in an array in the form shown below;
    * short defines columns where each word is to begin with an uppercase letter, eg, names, locations, etc
    * long is for sentences where spaces will be added after every comma, fullstop, etc.
    */
    public function setPunctuateColumns(): Array
    {
        return ['short' => ['name'], 'long' => ['description', 'comments']];
    }

    // Other model functions
}
