Overview

Locutus is a project that seeks to assimilate other languages’ standard libraries to JavaScript.

Locutus is a huge library created by a community effort, so instead of downloading all their code, this is just a piece of it.

This package is a fork of few Locutus functions that have been rewritten in TypeScript.

These functions have no dependencies and are browser friendly.

Installation

npm install oro-php-locutus

Methods

• serialize()
• unserialize()
• htmlspecialchars()
• utf8Encode()
• utf8Decode()
• md5()

serialize()

serialize( mixedValue: any ): string

Here's what Locutus JavaScript equivalent to PHP's serialize looks like.

// cjs
const { serialize } = require( 'oro-php-locutus' );
// mjs, ts
import { serialize } from 'oro-php-locutus';

serialize( { chacho: true, tio: 17 } );
// 'a:2:{s:6:"chacho";b:1;s:3:"tio";i:17;}'

serialize( [ 'chacho', '', true, false, 1, 2.3 ] );
// 'a:6:{i:0;s:6:"chacho";i:1;s:0:"";i:2;b:1;i:3;b:0;i:4;i:1;i:5;d:2.3;}'

unserialize()

unserialize( str: string ): string

Here's what Locutus JavaScript equivalent to PHP's unserialize looks like.

// cjs
const { unserialize } = require( 'oro-php-locutus' );
// mjs, ts
import { unserialize } from 'oro-php-locutus';

unserialize( 'a:2:{s:6:"chacho";b:1;s:3:"tio";i:17;}' );
// { chacho: true, tio: 17 }

unserialize( 'a:6:{i:0;s:6:"chacho";i:1;s:0:"";i:2;b:1;i:3;b:0;i:4;i:1;i:5;d:2.3;}' );
// [ 'chacho', '', true, false, 1, 2.3 ]

htmlspecialchars()

htmlspecialchars(
  string: string,
  quoteStyle?: ENT_OPTION | ENT_OPTION[],
  charset?: null,
  doubleEncode?: boolean
): string

type ENT_OPTION =
  | 0 | 'ENT_NOQUOTES'
  | 1 | 'ENT_HTML_QUOTE_SINGLE'
  | 2 | 'ENT_HTML_QUOTE_DOUBLE'
      | 'ENT_COMPAT'
  | 3 | 'ENT_QUOTES'
  | 4 | 'ENT_IGNORE'

Here's what Locutus JavaScript equivalent to PHP's unserialize looks like.

// js
const { htmlspecialchars } = require( 'oro-php-locutus' );
// ts
import { htmlspecialchars } from 'oro-php-locutus';

htmlspecialchars( '<a href="test">Test</a>', 'ENT_QUOTES' );
// '&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;test&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Test&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;'

utf8Decode( 'Chacho' );
// 'Chacho'

utf8Decode( 'cañón' );
// 'cañón'

md5()

md5( str: string ): string

Here's what Locutus JavaScript equivalent to PHP's unserialize looks like.

// cjs
const { md5 } = require( 'oro-php-locutus' );
// mjs, ts
