Rollerworks UriEncoder
======================

This package provides the Rollerworks UriEncoder component, a simple library,
to safely encode a string for usage in a URI. Plus a zlib compression.

**Caution:**

> Do not use this library for encoding authorization/reset tokens, as this will leak information.
> Only use this library to transport "public" information, like a filtering preference.
>
> Use [paragonie/constant_time_encoding](https://github.com/paragonie/constant_time_encoding)
> for time-safe en/decoding. Don't use conversion caching or compression for sensitive information!

## Installation

To install this package, add `rollerworks/search-uri-encoder` to your composer.json:

```bash
$ php composer.phar require rollerworks/search-uri-encoder
```

Now, [Composer][composer] will automatically download all required files,
and install them for you.

## Requirements

You need at least PHP 8.1, and optionally have support for gzip compression
enabled.

This package has no other external dependencies.

## Basic usage

The usage of this library is very straightforward, each encoder encodes and decodes
a URL string.

To encode a string for safe usage in a URL call `encodeUri()` on the encoder.
To decode an encoded string, to the original value call `decodeUri()` on the encoder.

**Note:** The `decode()` method will silently ignore invalid data,
and return null instead.

### Base64UriEncoder

```php
use Rollerworks\Component\UriEncoder\Encoder as UriEncoder;

$stringEncode = 'This string is not safe, for direct usage & must encoded';

$base64Encoder = new UriEncoder\Base64UriEncoder();

$safeValue = $base64Encoder->encodeUri($stringEncode);
// $safeValue now contains a base64 URI safe encoded string

$originalValue = $base64Encoder->decodeUri($safeValue);
```

### Decorators

To keep the encoders small special features are provided in the form
of object decorators.

A decorator operates on top of the actual encoder.

* `encodeUri()` modifies the value returned by the decorated encoder.
* `decodeUri()` modifies the passed-in value before passing to the decorated encoder.

These decorators cannot be used as a stand-alone.

#### GZipCompressionDecorator

The `GZipCompressionDecorator` (de)compresses URI data.

**Caution:** The `GZipCompressionDecorator` creates a non-safe binary result,
make sure the original encoder supports this.

```php
use Rollerworks\Component\UriEncoder\Encoder as UriEncoder;

$stringEncode = 'This string is not safe, for direct usage & must encoded';

$base64Encoder = new UriEncoder\Base64UriEncoder();
$uriCompressor = new UriEncoder\GZipCompressionDecorator($base64Encoder);

$safeValue = $uriCompressor->encodeUri($stringEncode);
// $safeValue now contains a base64 encoded URI safe string, which internally contains the compressed result.

$originalValue = $uriCompressor->decodeUri($safeValue);
```
