This package comes with common regular expression patterns that are ready to match and replace against values. The package supports case-insensitivity, Unicode characters and supports all languages.

Here are some examples from the package's readme:

// Match
Regex::isAlpha($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
Regex::isAlphanumeric($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
Regex::isAlphadash($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
Regex::isDigits($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
Regex::isNumeric($subject);
 
// Replace
Regex::alpha($subject, $replace = '');
Regex::alphanumeric($subject, $replace = '');
Regex::alphadash($subject, $replace = '');
Regex::digits($subject, $replace = '');
Regex::numeric($subject, $replace = '');

You also have access to the underlying match and replace methods for custom patterns:

// Replace interface
public static function replace($subject, $pattern, $replacement = '');
 
// Match interface
public static function match($subject, $pattern, bool $allowWhitespace = false): bool;
