You can install the package using Composer:

composer require koenhendriks/laravel-str-acronym

After installing the package Laravel should automatically discover the package.

If you want you can register the service provider in your Laravel application manually. You can do this by adding the service provider to the providers array in your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    KoenHendriks\StrAcronym\StrServiceProvider::class,
],

Once you've registered the service provider, you can start using the acronym macro in your Laravel application.

To generate an acronym from a string, you can call the acronym method on the Str helper:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

$acronym = Str::acronym('Hello World'); // Returns 'HW'

If you prefer to use the Fluent Strings, you can call the acronym method on a Stringable object:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

$acronym = Str::of('hello world')->headline()->acronym(); // Returns 'HW'

You can also provide a delimiter string as an optional parameter to separate the acronym letters:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

$acronym = Str::acronym('Hello World', '.'); // Returns 'H.W.'
$acronym = Str::of('hello world')->headline()->acronym(); // Returns 'H.W.'

This package is using PhpUnit to unit test the macros. A simple alias has been created with composer to run the tests.

composer test
