irc-textformatter

Tiny library to format text according to the IRC standard.

Installation

To install this package, you need Composer.

$ composer require wildphp/irc-textformatter ^0.1

The formatter works as a utility class. It exposes the following methods:

bold(string $text)
italic(string $text)
underline(string $text)
color(string $text, string $foreground, string $background = '') (see below what colors are supported)

Along with the above basic methods, some more advanced methods are provided:

findColorByString(string $color) - returns a numeric string with the color code based on human readable input ('white' will return '00', see the color table below)
calculateStringColor(string $stringToColor) - returns a numeric string with color code based on string contents
consistentStringColor(string $stringToColor) - same as above, but pre-applies the color to the string

It also allows you to strip various formatting elements from text:
