README
PHP library to detect and manipulate the indentation of files and strings
Installation
composer require --dev colinodell/indentation
Usage
Detecting the indentation of a string or file
use ColinODell\Indentation\Indentation; $indentation = Indentation::detect(file_get_contents('composer.json')); assert($indentation->getAmount() === 4); assert($indentation->getType() === Indentation::TYPE_SPACE); assert((string)$indentation === ' ');
Changing the indentation of a string or file
use ColinODell\Indentation\Indentation; $composerJson = file_get_contents('composer.json'); $composerJson = Indentation::change($composerJson, new Indentation(1, Indentation::TYPE_TAB)); file_put_contents('composer.json', $composerJson);
Adding leading indentation to all lines
Need to add indent all lines by some amount?
use ColinODell\Indentation\Indentation; $codeExample = file_get_contents('file.php'); $indented = Indentation::indent($codeExample, new Indentation(4, Indentation::TYPE_SPACE));
Now you can embed the indented code into a Markdown document! (Hint: This works great with the league/commonmark library.)
Removing leading indentation from all lines
Imagine you have a file where every line is indented by at least 4 spaces:
/**
* Just a silly example
*/
class Cat extends Animal
{
// ...
}
You can trim that leading indentation while preserving the nested indentation with the unindent()
method:
use ColinODell\Indentation\Indentation; $contents = file_get_contents('Cat.php'); $trimmed = Indentation::unindent($contents); file_put_contents('Cat.php', $trimmed);
Giving you:
/**
* Just a silly example
*/
class Cat extends Animal
{
// ...
}
Note how the leading 4 spaces are removed but all other indentation (like in the docblock and method body) is preserved.
Detection Algorithm
The current algorithm looks for the most common difference between two consecutive non-empty lines.
In the following example, even if the 4-space indentation is used 3 times whereas the 2-space one is used 2 times, it is detected as less used because there were only 2 differences with this value instead of 4 for the 2-space indentation:
html { box-sizing: border-box; } body { background: gray; } p { line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 1em; text-indent: 2em; }
Furthermore, if there are more than one most used difference, the indentation with the most lines is selected.
In the following example, the indentation is detected as 4-spaces:
body { background: gray; } p { line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 1em; text-indent: 2em; }
