A manipulation library for Greek strings

A library to cover all your Greek string conversion needs.

Currently:

• Transliteration of Greek strings
• Uppercase / lowercase conversions

Planned:

• Open to feature requests! :)

Wishlist:

• Reverse transliteration
• Accent guesstimates

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require gregkos/greek-strings

Usage

You can create a new string by calling the constructor:

$greek_string = new GregKos\GreekString('Καλημέρα!');

You can transliterate any greek letters in the string like so:

echo $greek_string->transliterate();

// Kalimera!

You can convert the string to UPPERCASE...

echo $greek_string->toUpper();

// ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ!

...or convert it to lowercase

echo $greek_string->toLower();

// καλημερα!

Keep in mind that conversions remove the accent unless you explicitly pass a parameter:

echo $greek_string->toUpper(false);

// ΚΑΛΗΜΈΡΑ!

However, there is no efficient way to add an accent that was not there before:

$greek_string = new GregKos\GreekString('ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ!');

echo $greek_string->toLower();

// καλημερα!

Method Reference

The following methods are available on any GreekString instance:

// Returns the string as is
getString(): string

// Set a new string for the instance
// $str = a valid string
setString(string $str): self

// Return a transliterated version of the string
transliterate(): string

// Return an uppercase version of the string
// $removeAccent = a bool to determine whether or not
// to remove accent from the string (default: true)
toUpper($removeAccent = true): string

// Return an lowercase version of the string
// $removeAccent = a bool to determine whether or not
// to remove accent from the string (default: true)
toLower($removeAccent = true): string
