Usage

Get a random spin

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

Spintax::parse('Your {text|content} here.')->generate();

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

$spintax = Spintax::parse('Schrödinger’s Cat is {dead|alive}.');
$string = $spintax->generate();

Get all possible spins:

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

Spintax::parse('Your {text|content} here.')->getAll();

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

$spintax = Spintax::parse('Schrödinger’s Cat is {dead|alive}.');
$strings = $spintax->getAll();

Other examples

But there is much more that than that in our library. First of all nested structures are supported:

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

$spintax = Spintax::parse('I {love {PHP|Java|C|C++|JavaScript|Python}|hate Ruby}.');
$string = $spintax->generate();

Still not finished! With our brilliant library you can detect the path used to generate given variant and re-use it later:

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

$path = [];

$spintax = Spintax::parse('I {love {PHP|Java|C|C++|JavaScript|Python}|hate Ruby}.');
// since $path is empty, random values will be used for missing indices and $path will be filled with them
$string = $spintax->generate($path);

// from now you can use $path to re-create the same combination
// all these calls will keep returning same string value
$spintax->generate($path);
$spintax->generate($path);
$spintax->generate($path);
$spintax->generate($path);

// this will force generating "I love Java."
$path = [0, 1];
$spintax->generate($path);

Paths are counted from 0, each entry is next step.

You can also use partial paths to define just the starting path and all missing parts will be choosen randomly:

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

$path = [0];

$spintax = Spintax::parse('I {love {PHP|Java|C|C++|JavaScript|Python}|hate Ruby}.');
// this will generate one of "I love {}." variants
$string = $spintax->generate($path);

For all this there is a shortcut method Parser::replicate() (you can use comma-separated number in a single string as second argument in this shortcut method):

use MadeITBelgium\Spintax\SpintaxFacade as Spintax;

echo Spintax::replicate('I {love {PHP|Java|C|C++|JavaScript|Python}|hate Ruby}.', '0,0');
