var Len = utf8.RuneCountInString

Len is an alias of utf8.RuneCountInString which returns the number of runes in s. Erroneous and short encodings are treated as single runes of width 1 byte.

Functions

func Align 

func Align(str string, alignTo AlignType, width int) string

Align aligns string to the "alignTo" which should be one of - strutil.Center - strutil.Left - strutil.Right

fmt.Println(Align("  lorem  \n  ipsum  ", Right, 10))

Output:

     lorem
     ipsum

func AlignCenter 

func AlignCenter(str string, width int) string

AlignCenter centers str. It trims and then centers all the lines in the text with space

Example 
text := AlignCenter("lorem\nipsum", 9)
fmt.Println(strings.Replace(text, " ", ".", -1))

Output:

..lorem..
..ipsum..

func AlignLeft

Output:

     lorem
     ipsum

func CenterText added in v0.3.0 

func CenterText(str string, width int) string

CenterText centers the text by adding spaces to the left and right. It assumes the text is one line. For multiple lines use AlignCenter.

func CountWords 

func CountWords(str string) int

CountWords count the words, It uses the same base function with 'Words' function. only difference is CountWords doesn't allocate an array so it is faster and more memory efficient

Example 
fmt.Println(CountWords("It is not known exactly!"))

Output:

5

func DrawBox added in v0.3.0 

func DrawBox(content string, width int, align AlignType) (string, error)

DrawBox creates a frame with "content" in it. DefaultBox9Slice object is used to define characters in the frame. "align" sets the alignment of the content. It must be one of the strutil.AlignType constants.

Usage: 

DrawBox("Hello World", 20, Center)

Outputs: 

┌──────────────────┐
│   Hello World    │
└──────────────────┘
Example 
output, _ := DrawBox("Hello World", 20, Center)
fmt.Println(output)

Output:

┌──────────────────┐
│   Hello World    │
└──────────────────┘
Example (Long) 
text := `Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.`

There are 2 premade Box9Slice objects that can be retrieved by strutil.DefaultBox9Slice() or strutil.SimpleBox9Slice()

Usage: 

DrawCustomBox("Hello World", 20, Center, SimpleBox9Slice(), "\n")

Outputs: 

+------------------+
|   Hello World    |
+------------------+

func Slugify 

func Slugify(str string) string

Slugify converts a string to a slug which is useful in URLs, filenames. It removes accents, converts to lower case, remove the characters which are not letters or numbers and replaces spaces with "-".

Example: 

strutil.Slugify("'We löve Motörhead'") //Output: we-love-motorhead

Normalzation is done with strutil.ReplaceAccents function using a rune replacement map You can use the following code for better normalization before strutil.Slugify() 

str := "'We löve Motörhead'"
t := transform.Chain(norm.NFD, runes.Remove(runes.In(unicode.Mn)), norm.NFC)
str = transform.String(t, str) //We love Motorhead

Slugify doesn't support transliteration. You should use a transliteration library before Slugify like github.com/rainycape/unidecode

Example: 

import "github.com/rainycape/unidecode"

str := unidecode.Unidecode("你好, world!")
strutil.Slugify(str) //Output: ni-hao-world
Example 
fmt.Println(Slugify("We löve Motörhead"))

Output:

we-love-motorhead

func SlugifySpecial 

func SlugifySpecial(str string, delimiter string) string

SlugifySpecial converts a string to a slug with the delimiter. It removes accents, converts string to lower case, remove the characters which are not letters or numbers and replaces spaces with the delimiter.

Example: 

strutil.SlugifySpecial("'We löve Motörhead'", "-") //Output: we-love-motorhead

SlugifySpecial doesn't support transliteration. You should use a transliteration library before SlugifySpecial like github.com/rainycape/unidecode

Example: 

import "github.com/rainycape/unidecode"

str := unidecode.Unidecode("你好, world!")
strutil.SlugifySpecial(str, "-") //Output: ni-hao-world
Example 
fmt.Println(SlugifySpecial("We löve Motörhead", "_"))

Output:

we_love_motorhead

func Splice added in v0.2.0 

func Splice(str string, newStr string, start int, end int) string

Splice insert a new string in place of the string between start and end indexes. It is based on runes so start and end indexes are rune based indexes. It can be used to remove a part of string by giving newStr as empty string

Example 
fmt.Println(Splice("Lorem", "ipsum", 2, 3))

Output:

Loipsumem

func SplitAndMap added in v0.3.0 

func SplitAndMap(str string, split string, fn func(string) string) string

func SplitCamelCase 

func SplitCamelCase(str string) []string

SplitCamelCase splits and returns words in camelCase format.

Example: 

SplitCamelCase("loremIpsum") //Output []string{"lorem", "Ipsum"}
Example 
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", SplitCamelCase("binaryJSONAbstractWriter"))

Output:

[]string{"binary", "JSON", "Abstract", "Writer"}

func Substring 

func Substring(str string, start int, end int) (string, error)

Substring gets a part of the string between start and end. If end is 0, end is taken as the length of the string.

MustSubstring can be used for the cases where the boundaries are wwll known and/or panics are acceptable

It is UTF8 safe version of using slice notations in strings.

func Summary added in v0.2.0 

func Summary(str string, length int, end string) string

Summary cuts the string to a new length and adds the "end" to it It only breaks up the words by spaces. See "unicode.IsSpace" for which characters are accepted as spaces

Example 
fmt.Println(Summary("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.", 12, "..."))

Output:

Lorem ipsum...

func Tile added in v0.3.0 

func Tile(pattern string, length int) string

Tile repeats the pattern until the result reaches the 'length' It returns empty string if the pattern is "" or length <= 0

func ToCamelCase 

func ToCamelCase(str string) string

ToCamelCase converts string into camelCase formatted string after trimming it. It doesn't change the cases of letters except the first letters of the words. ToCamelCase also doesn't remove punctions or such characters and it separates words only with " "

Example: 

    ToCamelCase("camel case") //Output: camelCase
	   ToCamelCase("inside dynaMIC-HTML") //Output: insideDynaMIC-HTML
Example 
fmt.Println(ToCamelCase("long live motörhead"))

Output:

longLiveMotörhead

func ToSnakeCase 

func ToSnakeCase(str string) string

ToSnakeCase converts string into snake_case formatted string. In the process it trims the string and then converts characters into lowercase. Only space " " character is converted into underscore "_". If you have other characters you should convert them into spaces before calling ToSnakeCase

Example: 

ToSnakeCase("Snake Case") //Output: snake_case
Example 
fmt.Println(ToSnakeCase("Lorem Ipsum"))

Output:

lorem_ipsum

func WordWrap added in v0.3.0 

func WordWrap(str string, colLen int, breakLongWords bool) string

WordWrap wraps the given string str based on colLen as max line width. if breakLongWords is true, it breaks the words which are longer than colLen.

Notes: - WordWrap doesn't trim the lines, except it trims the left side of the new line created by breaking a long line. - Tabs should be converted to space before using WordWrap.

Example 
fmt.Println(WordWrap("Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet.", 15, false))

Output:

Lorem ipsum,
dolor sit amet.

func Words added in v0.2.0 

func Words(str string) []string

Words returns the words inside the text. - Numbers are counted as words - If they are inside a word these punctuations don't break a word: ', -, _
