Parsing

Usage TextParser

To parse a text-based MOTD using custom formatting and colors:

$formatCollection = \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\FormatCollection::generate();
$colorCollection  = \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\ColorCollection::generate(true); //When set to true, colors from BE are added
$parser = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Parser\TextParser($formatCollection, $colorCollection, '&');

$motd = "A &l&fMine&4craft &rServer";
$motdItemCollection = $parser->parse($motd, new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\MotdItemCollection());

Usage ArrayParser

To parse a structured array-based MOTD:

$formatCollection = \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\FormatCollection::generate();
$colorCollection  = \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\ColorCollection::generate();
$parser = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Parser\ArrayParser($formatCollection, $colorCollection);

$motd = [
    [ "text" => "A "],
    [
        "bold" => true,
        "extra" => [
            [
                "color" => "white",
                "text" => "Mine"
            ],
            [
                "color" => "dark_red",
                "text" => "craft "
            ],
        ]
    ],
    [
        "text" => "Server"
    ]
];
$motdItemCollection = $parser->parse($motd, new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\MotdItemCollection());

Merging Similar Items

The mergeSimilarItem() method in the MotdItemCollection class merges adjacent MotdItem objects with the same formatting and color. This optimization helps to reduce redundancy in the formatting and color codes, making the MOTD more concise.

$motd = "A &l&fMine&f&lcraft &rServer";
$motdItemCollection = $parser->parse($motd, new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\MotdItemCollection());

//Output before
[
    ['text': "A "],
    ['bold': true, 'color': "white", 'text': "Mine"],
    ['bold': true, 'color': "white", 'text': "craft "],
    ['reset': true, 'text': "Server"],
]

$motdItemCollection->mergeSimilarItem();
//Output after
[
    ['text': "A "],
    ['bold': true, 'color': "white", 'text': "Minecraft "],
    ['reset': true, 'text': "Server"],
]

Generation

MotdItemCollection

Example of creating a MotdItemCollection:

$parser = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Parser\TextParser();
$motd = "A §l§fMine§4craft §rServer";
$motdItemCollection = $parser->parse($motd, new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\MotdItemCollection());

Usage HtmlGenerator

To generate HTML from a parsed MOTD:

$generator = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Generator\HtmlGenerator();

// Generate HTML from the MOTD item collection
echo $generator->generate($motdItemCollection); 

Output

The output will be:

A <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF;">Mine</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #AA0000;">craft </span> Server

Usage RawGenerator

To generate raw text from a parsed MOTD:

$generator = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Generator\RawGenerator("§");
// Generate raw text from the MOTD item collection
echo $generator->generate($motdItemCollection); 
//output: A §f§lMine§4craft §rServer

Usage TextGenerator

To generate plain text from a parsed MOTD:

$generator = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Generator\TextGenerator();
// Generate plain text from the MOTD item collection
echo $generator->generate($motdItemCollection); 
//output: A Minecraft Server

Custom formatter

Define new class formatter

Example of creating a custom bold formatter:

class CustomBoldFormatter implements FormatterInterface
{
    public function getKey(): string
    {
        return 'l';
    }

    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'bold';
    }

    public function getFormat(): string
    {
        return '<b class="CustomBoldFormatter">%s</b>';
    }
}

Usage

To use the custom formatter:

// Create a new format collection
$formatCollection = \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\FormatCollection::generate();

// and override the default formatter for bold
$formatCollection->add(new CustomBoldFormatter());

// Create a new MOTD item
$motdItem = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\MotdItem();
$motdItem->setBold(true);
$motdItem->setText("Hello World");

// Create a new MOTD item collection and add the MOTD item
$motdItemCollection = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Collection\MotdItemCollection();
$motdItemCollection->add($motdItem);

// Generate HTML using the custom formatter
$generator = new \DevLancer\MinecraftMotdParser\Generator\HtmlGenerator($formatCollection);
echo $generator->generate($motdItemCollection); 

Output

The output will be:

<b class="CustomBoldFormatter">Hello World</b>
