Introduction

String interpolation library.

For all exemples, vendor/autoload.php must be included to allows auto include.

StringInterpolator

Usage

<?php
// test.php
// ...

use Fastwf\Interpolation\StringInterpolator;

$interpolator = new StringInterpolator();

echo $interpolator->interpolate(
    "Hello %{name} with injection escaped \%{name} or %{undefined} not injected.",
    ['name' => 'Fast Web Framework']
) . PHP_EOL;

This script execution produce the next output.

$ php test.php
Hello Fast Web Framework with injection escaped %{name} or %{undefined} not injected.

Customise

It's possible to customise the behaviour of the interpolator.

Strict interpolation

Interpolation can be strict, in that case when a variable is not provided in the parameter array an InterpolationException is thrown.

<?php
///...
new StringInterpolator(true);

Different markers

Interpolation markers can be customized. For example use #[...] instead of %{...}.

<?php
///...
new StringInterpolator(false, '#', '[', ']');

LexInterpolator

Usage

<?php
// test.php
// ...

use Fastwf\Interpolation\LexInterpolator;


$interpolator = new LexInterpolator();

echo $interpolator->interpolate(
    "Hello %{name} with injection escaped \%{name}.",
    ['name' => 'Fast Web Framework']
) . PHP_EOL;

This script execution produce the next output.

$ php test.php
Hello Fast Web Framework with injection escaped \%{name}.

It's not possible to inject undefined variables like StringInterpolator because lex parse the template as node and node cannot be restored from its original form.

Add transform functions

The LexInterpolator allows to transform values thanks to the pipe syntax.

A pipe is required when the value cannot be transformed as string or when the value must be updated before injection.
The next example show how to format a date and transform it before injection in the template.

// test.php
// ...

$interpolator = new LexInterpolator();

$interpolator->getEnvironment()
    ->setPipe('date', new PipeFunction(
        function ($date, $format) {
            return $date->format($format);
        })
    )
    ->setPipe('lower', new PipeFunction(
        function ($str) {
            return mb_strtolower($str);
        }
    ))
    ;

echo $interpolator->interpolate(
    "Today is %{ today | date('l jS F Y') | lower }.",
    ['today' => new DateTime('2022-03-16')]
) . PHP_EOL;

This script execution produce the next output.

$ php test.php
Today is wednesday 16th march 2022.

Customise

Like StringInterpolator, interpolation markers can be customized for LexInterpolator.

For example for #[...]:

<?php
// ...

$interpolator = new LexInterpolator("#", "[", "]");

// ...
