PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

CategorySuggestion                                                                                                                                    Impact
High-level
Automate API documentation from source code

The suggestion proposes replacing the manually written API reference with an
automated documentation generation tool like PHPDoc or Doxygen. This would parse
PHP docblocks from the source code to create the documentation, ensuring it
stays synchronized with the code and reducing maintenance.

Examples:

docs/api-reference.md [28-36]
| Method                                                                | Description                                  | Performance      |
|:----------------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------|:-----------------|
| [`removeAccents()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/remove-accents/) | Strip accents and diacritics from text       | ~450,000 ops/sec |
| [`searchWords()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/search-words/)     | Transform text for search optimisation       | ~195,000 ops/sec |
| [`nameFix()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/name-fix/)             | Standardise names with proper capitalisation | ~130,000 ops/sec |
| [`utf8Ansi()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/utf8-ansi/)           | Convert UTF-8 to ANSI encoding               | -                |
| [`isValidDate()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/is-valid-date/)    | Validate date strings with format checking   | -                |
| [`strReplace()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/str-replace/)       | Optimised string replacement                 | -                |
| [`trim()`]({{ site.baseurl }}/api-reference/trim/)                    | Remove characters from string ends           | -                |

parent: API Reference
nav_order: 5

# isValidDate()
{: .no_toc }


 ... (clipped 221 lines)

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

# Process: Manual Documentation

# 1. Manually write/update method signature in docs/api-reference.md
| Method          | Description         |
|:----------------|:--------------------|
| `isValidDate()` | Validate date strings |
...

# 2. Manually write/update detailed page in docs/api-reference/is-valid-date.md
---
title: isValidDate()
---
# isValidDate()

## Signature
```php
public static function isValidDate(string $date, string $format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s'): bool

... (manual examples, descriptions, etc.)




#### After:
```markdown
# Process: Automated Documentation

# 1. Add/update docblocks in the PHP source code
# src/StringManipulation.php
/**
 * Validates date strings against specified formats.
 *
 * @param string $date The date string to validate.
 * @param string $format The expected date format.
 * @return bool True if the date is valid.
 */
public static function isValidDate(string $date, string $format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s'): bool { ... }

# 2. Run a documentation generator in the CI/CD pipeline
# .github/workflows/pages.yml
- name: Generate API Docs
  run: phpdoc -d src -t docs/api-reference

- name: Build with Jekyll
  ...

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a major maintainability issue with manually written API documentation and proposes a standard, automated solution that would significantly improve the long-term accuracy and reliability of the docs.

Medium
Possible issue
Use DateTime::createFromFormat for safer date creation

In the validateBirthDate example, replace new DateTime($date) with
DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date) for safer and more robust date object
creation.

docs/api-reference/is-valid-date.md [144-158]

 class DateValidator
 {
     public function validateBirthDate(string $date): bool
     {
         if (!StringManipulation::isValidDate($date, 'Y-m-d')) {
             return false;
         }
 
         // Additional business rules
-        $birthDate = new DateTime($date);
+        $birthDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date);
+        if ($birthDate === false) {
+            return false; // Should not happen if isValidDate passed, but good practice
+        }
+
         $now = new DateTime();
 
         return $birthDate < $now;
     }
 }
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out that using DateTime::createFromFormat is more robust than new DateTime(), as it prevents potential exceptions and ensures the date string is parsed according to the expected format, improving the quality of the documentation example.

Medium
General
Cache Ruby gems to speed up builds

Cache Ruby gems in the GitHub Actions workflow to improve build performance.
This is achieved by replacing the actions/jekyll-build-pages step with
actions/setup-ruby and a manual build command.

.github/workflows/pages.yml [34-38]

+- name: Setup Ruby
+  uses: actions/setup-ruby@v1
+  with:
+    ruby-version: '3' # Or a specific version compatible with your gems
+    bundler-cache: true
+    working-directory: ./docs
+
 - name: Build with Jekyll
-  uses: actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1
-  with:
-    source: ./docs
-    destination: ./_site
+  run: bundle exec jekyll build --source ./docs --destination ./_site --baseurl "${{ steps.pages.outputs.base_path }}"
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a valid performance optimization for the new GitHub Actions workflow by caching Bundler dependencies, which will speed up documentation builds.

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪
🧪 No relevant tests
🔒 No security concerns identified
⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

Build Path

Verify that the Jekyll 'source' (./docs) and 'destination' (./_site) align with GitHub Pages expectations and that the theme/assets are included in the artifact; mismatches can lead to missing assets or 404s.

- name: Build with Jekyll
  uses: actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1
  with:
    source: ./docs
    destination: ./_site

- name: Upload artifact
  uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3
Base URL

The 'baseurl' is set to '/StringManipulation'. Ensure this matches the GitHub Pages repository name and that links render correctly in both local and production; otherwise internal links may break.

baseurl: "/StringManipulation"
url: "https://marjovanlier.github.io"
Remote Theme Pin

The remote theme is pinned to an exact tag; confirm compatibility with selected plugins and GitHub Pages build environment to avoid build failures.

remote_theme: just-the-docs/just-the-docs@v0.10.1

PR Review: GitHub Pages Documentation Site

Overall Assessment

Verdict: ✅ Approve with minor suggestions

This is an excellent PR that adds comprehensive, high-quality documentation to the StringManipulation library. The documentation is well-structured, accurate, and professionally presented.


Strengths

1. Excellent Structure and Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Clear hierarchical navigation with logical flow
  • Comprehensive API reference covering all 7 public methods
  • Practical examples and use cases for each method
  • Well-organized table of contents for easy navigation

2. Documentation Accuracy

I verified the documentation against the source code in src/StringManipulation.php:

  • ✅ All method signatures are accurate
  • ✅ Parameter types match the implementation
  • ✅ Return types are correctly documented
  • ✅ Null handling behavior is correctly described
  • ✅ Performance claims align with code optimizations (O(n) algorithms, static caching, strtr() usage)
  • ✅ Examples are syntactically correct and match actual behavior

3. High-Quality Content 📚

  • Performance benchmarks with specific ops/sec numbers
  • Complexity analysis explaining O(n) guarantees
  • Real-world use cases for each method
  • Security considerations (e.g., #[\SensitiveParameter] on nameFix())
  • Edge cases documented thoroughly

4. GitHub Actions Configuration

The workflow file (.github/workflows/pages.yml) is well-configured:

  • ✅ Proper permissions (contents:read, pages:write, id-token:write)
  • ✅ Correct concurrency control (no cancel-in-progress)
  • ✅ Path-based triggers for efficiency
  • ✅ Modern actions versions (v4, v5)
  • ✅ Separation of build and deploy jobs

5. Jekyll Configuration

docs/_config.yml is properly set up:

  • ✅ Just the Docs theme configured correctly
  • ✅ Search enabled with sensible settings
  • ✅ SEO and sitemap plugins included
  • ✅ Proper base URL configuration
  • ✅ Helpful auxiliary links (GitHub, Packagist)

Minor Issues and Suggestions

1. Logo Path Issue ⚠️

Location: docs/_config.yml:14

The logo file does not exist in the repository. This will result in a broken image on the docs site.

Suggestion:

  • Either add a logo image at docs/assets/images/logo.svg
  • Or remove this line if no logo is available yet

2. Copyright Year 📅

Location: docs/_config.yml:26

The copyright year is set to 2024. Consider updating to 2025 since we are now in December.

3. Gemfile Not Used by GitHub Actions ℹ️

Location: docs/Gemfile

Note: The GitHub Actions workflow uses actions/jekyll-build-pages@v1 which has its own gem management. The Gemfile is only needed for local development. Consider adding a note in the README or contributing guide about local Jekyll development setup.

4. Collections Configuration Not Used 🤔

Location: docs/_config.yml:49-62

The collections configuration appears unused since API reference pages are in docs/api-reference/ directory, not using Jekyll collections format.

Suggestion: Remove the collections configuration since it is not being used, or restructure the API docs to use collections.

5. Potential Documentation Enhancements 💡

Consider adding in future PRs:

  1. Installation troubleshooting section - Common issues with mbstring/intl extensions
  2. Migration guide - If updating from older versions
  3. FAQ section - Common questions about method usage
  4. Live examples - Consider CodePen/PHPFiddle embedded examples
  5. Version badge - Add version information to docs

Security Review ✅

No security concerns identified:

  • ✅ No secrets or credentials exposed
  • ✅ Workflow permissions follow principle of least privilege
  • ✅ No arbitrary code execution in documentation
  • ✅ Proper use of SensitiveParameter documented

Performance Review ✅

Documentation accurately reflects performance characteristics:

  • ✅ O(n) complexity claims verified in source code
  • ✅ Static caching implementation matches description
  • ✅ Single-pass transformations confirmed
  • ✅ strtr() optimization strategy validated

Test Coverage 📊

Documentation references excellent test coverage:

  • 166+ comprehensive tests
  • 88% mutation score with Infection
  • Triple static analysis (PHPStan, Psalm, Phan)

Consider adding a "Quality Metrics" or "CI/CD" page showing test results and coverage badges.


Recommendations

Must Fix (Before Merge)

  1. ❗ Remove or fix the logo configuration

Should Fix (Before Merge)

  1. Update copyright year to 2025
  2. Remove unused collections configuration

Nice to Have (Future PRs)

  1. Add logo asset if desired
  2. Add troubleshooting/FAQ sections
  3. Add local development instructions for Jekyll

Conclusion

This is an exceptional documentation PR that significantly improves the project's professionalism and usability. The documentation is:

  • ✅ Accurate and verified against source code
  • ✅ Comprehensive and well-organized
  • ✅ Professionally presented
  • ✅ Properly configured for GitHub Pages

The only blocker is the logo path issue - everything else is minor polish. Once the logo configuration is addressed, this is ready to merge!

Great work! 🎉

Code Review

This pull request is an excellent addition, creating a comprehensive and well-structured documentation site for the library. The use of Jekyll with the 'Just the Docs' theme is a great choice, and the content covers all essential aspects from getting started to API references and performance. My review focuses primarily on improving the clarity and correctness of the code examples across the documentation. Many examples for functions that handle special characters were not fully demonstrative, and I've provided suggestions to make them more illustrative for users. I've also included a couple of recommendations for the Gemfile to enhance environment consistency.

This example would better demonstrate the function if the input string contained a UTF-8 character that gets converted, such as Über.

This example doesn't demonstrate the function's purpose as the input string has no accents. Consider using an accented string like Crème Brûlée to clearly show what the function does.

$result = StringManipulation::removeAccents('Creme Brulee');
echo $result; // Output: Creme Brulee

Great work on setting up the Gemfile! I have a couple of suggestions to improve consistency between your local development environment and the GitHub Pages build environment:

  1. Specify Ruby Version: It's a good practice to add a ruby version declaration. This ensures all developers and the CI environment use the same Ruby version, preventing potential dependency mismatches.
  2. Pin Theme Version: Your _config.yml pins the just-the-docs theme to version v0.10.1. To ensure local builds are identical to the deployed site, it's best to pin the gem to the same version here.
ruby "3.1.2" # Please adjust to match your GitHub Actions workflow version

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "jekyll", "~> 4.3"
gem "just-the-docs", "0.10.1"
gem "jekyll-seo-tag"
gem "jekyll-sitemap"

$result1 = StringManipulation::removeAccents('Cafe');

// Subsequent calls: uses cached mapping
$result2 = StringManipulation::removeAccents('Munchen');

Similar to the above, using an accented character in this example would better demonstrate the function and the benefit of caching.

Suggested change
$result2 = StringManipulation::removeAccents('Munchen');
$result2 = StringManipulation::removeAccents('München');

Note: The documentation consistently uses British English spelling (e.g., "optimisation", "normalise", "standardise") throughout. While this is not incorrect, American English spelling is more common in technical documentation. Consider standardizing to American English for broader consistency with common programming conventions.
