Summary

Regex enables to work with a validated regular expression.

Installing

Regex is available through Packagist and the repository source is at chevere/regex.

composer require chevere/regex

Creating Regex

Create a Regex by passing the regular expression pattern.

use Chevere\Regex\Regex;

$regex = new Regex('/^Hello World!$/');

Reading pattern

As-is

The __toString method is used to access the pattern passed on instance creation.

$string = $regex->__toString();
// /^Hello World!$/

Without delimiters

The noDelimiters method is used to access to the regex pattern without delimiters.

$string = $regex->noDelimiters();
// ^Hello World!$

Without delimiters and anchors

The noDelimitersNoAnchors method is used to access to the regex pattern without delimiters and anchors.

$string = $regex->noDelimitersNoAnchors();
// Hello World!

Match

The match method provides preg_match.

$array = $regex->match('Hello World!');
// [Hello World!]

Match All

The matchAll method provides preg_match_all.

$regex->matchAll();
// [Hello World!]

Assert Match

The assertMatch method asserts that the string matches. It throws Exceptions\NoMatchException when failing to assert.

$regex->assertMatch('Hello World!');

Assert Match All

The assertMatchAll method asserts that the string matches all. It throws Exceptions\NoMatchException when failing to assert.

$regex->assertMatchAll('Hello World!');
