Reverse Initials about avatar HOT 7 CLOSED

It was easy to implement, but I don't think this was common needs. Could you explain more why you need this?

from avatar.

Yes, RTL languages get the initials in reverse order...

For "Andy Bar Cook" as a name and initial length was 2, which one do you expects as initials? BA or CB

from avatar.

As for RTL languages "Cook" would be the first name, "Bar" the middle name and "Andy" the last name, therefore, to work similar to LTR languages, I would expect CB.

I would also appreciate if you would add the reverse functionality as a dynamic call, not just as a config flag, due to the fact that the code has to first determine whether the input string is RTL or LTR and then use (or not) the reverse mode.

Thanks again :)

Yes, I'm thinking the same about customizable InitialGenerator class. In the meantime, you can just generate your own initials, and pass the final string to avatar class :)

Hi @Mintzs, would you like to check master branch to see if current implementation can fulfill your needs?

from avatar.

Great! This way I can extend the default generator class, check the string and manipulate it if necessary before calling the original make method (using parent::make).

*Of course, for my specific case I'd check the string's direction and if RTL would reverse the string prior to the parent make call.
