Quixotify

Quixotify is a text generation library designed to retrieve and manipulate text excerpts from Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote. This library supports generating text based on characters, words, or sentences and includes functionalities to handle different output languages.

Features

  • Fetch random text excerpts from an SQLite database.
  • Generate text by a specified number of characters, words, or sentences.
  • Support for multiple languages (English and Spanish).
  • Handles edge cases with missing or insufficient data.

Installation

  1. Clone the repository or include the classes in your project: 
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/quixotify.git
  2. Ensure you have PHP 8.0+ and PDO SQLite installed.
  3. Place your SQLite database (database.db) in the same directory as the Controller class.

Classes Overview

Controller

The Controller class is responsible for connecting to the database, validating input, and generating text.

Constructor

$controller = new Controller("Spanish");
  • $outputLanguage: Optional. Defaults to English ("don_quixote_english_texts"). Use "Spanish" for Spanish.

Public Methods

  • generateText(string $unit, int $quantity): string
    Generate text based on the unit (characters, words, or sentences) and quantity.

Public Methods

  • generate(string $type, int $amount): string
    Calls the Controller to generate text, with additional error handling.

Usage

  1. Initialize the Controller class:

    use Quixotify\Controller;

$controller = new Controller("Spanish"); // For Spanish texts

  2. Generate text using the Controller:

    $text = $controller->generateText('words', 50);
echo $text;

  3. Or, use the Generator class for better error handling:

    use Quixotify\Generator;

$controller = new Controller("Spanish");
$generator = new Generator($controller);
$text = $generator->generate('characters', 100);
echo $text;

Database Schema

The database should have the following schema:

Column Type Description
id INTEGER Primary key (auto-increment)
text TEXT The excerpt of text
word_count INTEGER Number of words in the text

Ensure the database has two tables:

  1. don_quixote_english_texts
  2. don_quixote_spanish_texts

Error Handling

  • Invalid Input: Throws exceptions if the input quantity is non-positive or the unit is invalid.
  • Insufficient Data: Automatically fetches additional rows to meet the requested amount.
