Wow. Such lorem. Much ipsum. So PHP.
|
Lorem ipsum generator without dependencies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Origins
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once upon a time, I was attempting to find a lorem ipsum generator over on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/search/?q=lorem%20ipsum). I was presented with many options, and some of those options were good. Unfortunately, the bulk of those options depended on Symphony or the Zend Framework. This wouldn’t have been a big deal but under the circumstances, I wanted something that was not tightly coupled to these frameworks because I wanted to use the generator in my _own_ framework.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I had decided to use [badcow/lorem-ipsum](https://packagist.org/packages/badcow/lorem-ipsum) because it did not have any dependencies nor did it rely on any external APIs. As I started to use the library, I found that I was going to have to fight with it to get it to do what I wanted. After digging through the code, I realized that I was going to end up gutting most of it to bend it to my will. I know when you overhaul someone’s code the liklihood of them accepting a pull request goes down dramatically, hence building this library while taking cues from it’s predecessor.

Installation
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The preferred installation method is via `composer`. First add the following to your `composer.json`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
"require": {
|
||||||
|
"joshtronic/php-loremipsum": "dev-master"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then run `composer update`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usage
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Getting Started
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
require_once 'GravityBlvd/LoremIpsum.php';
|
||||||
|
$lipsum = new GravityBlvd\LoremIpsum();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Generating Words
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
echo '1 word: ' . $lipsum->word();
|
||||||
|
echo '5 words: ' . $lipsum->words(5);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Generating sentences
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
echo '1 sentence: ' . $lipsum->sentence();
|
||||||
|
echo '5 sentences: ' . $lipsum->sentences(5);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Generating paragraphs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
echo '1 paragraph: ' . $lipsum->paragraph();
|
||||||
|
echo '5 paragraphs: ' . $lipsum->paragraphs(5);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Wrapping text with HTML tags
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you would like to wrap the generated text with a tag, pass it as the second parameter:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
echo $lipsum->paragraphs(3, 'p');
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Generates: <p>Lorem ipsum...</p><p>...</p><p>...</p>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Multiple tags can also be specified:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
echo $lipsum->sentences(3, ['article', 'p']);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Generptes: <article><p>...</p></article><article><p>...</p></article><article><p>...</p></article>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And you can back reference using `$1`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
echo $lipsum->words(3, '<li><a href="$1">$1</a></li>');
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Generates: <li><a href="...">...</a></li><li><a href="...">...</a></li><li><a href="...">...</a></li>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Return as an array
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Perhaps you want an array instead of a string:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
print_r($lipsum->wordsArray(5));
|
||||||
|
print_r($lipsum->sentencesArray(5));
|
||||||
|
print_r($lipsum->paragraphsArray(5));
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can still wrap with markup when returning an array:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```php
|
||||||
|
print_r($lipsum->wordsArray(5), 'li');
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assumptions
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The first sentence or paragraph will always start with “Lorem ipsum…”
|
||||||
|
* Subsequent sentences and paragraphs will never start with “Lorem ipsum…”
|
||||||
|
* Words will never contain “lorem” or “ipsum”
|
||||||
|
