No Strings Attached - A String Processing Library

Overview

This repository implements a small C++ library for string processing, named no_strings_attached. The goal of this project is to provide simple and efficient functions for splitting and trimming strings, following modern C++ practices. This is a homework from Code For Yourself youtube's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CodeForYourself

Features

• String Splitting (string_split)
  • Split a string into a vector of substrings based on a given delimiter.
  • Optionally limit the number of resulting chunks.
• String Trimming (string_trim)
  • Trim characters from the left, right, or both sides of a string.
  • A default overload to trim whitespace characters from both sides.

Namespace

All functions are encapsulated in the no_strings_attached namespace.

Testing

Unit tests are implemented using GoogleTest, located within the no_strings_attached folder alongside the corresponding implementation files. The test framework is included as a submodule in the external/ directory.

Build Instructions

This project uses CMake for building. To compile and run tests:

cd cmake-strings-processing-lib
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j 12
ctest --test-dir build   # Run tests
