README

PHP trait for bynaming (nicknaming) classes/objects.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require gregoriohc/byname

Usage

By default, the class byname is the class basename (without namespace).

class MyClass {
    use HasByname;
}

echo MyClass::byname();
// MyClass

Removing prefix and/or suffix

You can remove some characters from the beginning (prefix) or the end (suffix) of the byname overriding the bynamePrefix and bynameSuffix methods and returning the string to remove or the number of characters.

class MyClass {
    use HasByname;
    protected static function bynamePrefix()
    {
        return 'My';
    }
}

echo MyClass::byname();
// Class

class MyClass {
    use HasByname;
    protected static function bynameSuffix()
    {
        return 5;
    }
}

echo MyClass::byname();
// My

A more complex example, mixing this with inheritance:

abstract class BaseController {
    use HasByname;
    protected static function bynameSuffix()
    {
        return 'Controller';
    }
    public function model()
    {
        $class = '\\App\\' . $this->byname();
        return new $class();
    }
}

class UserController extends BaseController {
    ...
}

echo UserController::byname();
// User

$user = (new UserController)->model();
print_r($user);
// App\User Object (...)

Custom byname

You can set a custom byname overriding the bynameValue method.

class MyClass {
    use HasByname;
    protected static function bynameValue()
    {
        return 'Cool';
    }
}

echo MyClass::byname();
// Cool

Case

Yu can also get the name in three diferent cases:

class MyClass {
    use HasByname;
}

echo MyClass::bynameSnake();
// my_class
echo MyClass::bynameCamel();
// myClass
echo MyClass::bynameStudly();
// MyClass
