Bit&Black Word Extract

Extract or handle words with a given minimum length.

Installation

This library is written in PHP and made for the use with Composer. Be sure to have both of them installed on your system.

Add the library then to your project by running $ composer require bitandblack/word-extract.

Usage

Initialise the WordExtractor class with the minimum number of letters that the words to be extracted should have:

<?php

use BitAndBlack\WordExtract\WordExtractor;

$wordExtractor = new WordExtractor(10);

Extract the words from a given string then:

<?php

$sentence = 'Herzlich willkommen in meinem Rosengarten';

$words = $wordExtractor->getWords($sentence);

/**
 * This will dump
 * 
 * array(2) {
 *     [0]=> string(10) "willkommen"
 *     [1]=> string(11) "Rosengarten"
 * }
 */
var_dump($words);

Or use a callback to handle each of the extracted words:

<?php

$sentence = 'Herzlich willkommen in meinem Rosengarten';

$handler = static function (string $word): string {
    return '[' . $word . ']';
};

$sentenceHandled = $wordExtractor->getWithWordsHandled($sentence, $handler);

/**
 * This will dump
 * 
 * string(45) "Herzlich [willkommen] in meinem [Rosengarten]"
 */
var_dump($sentenceHandled);
