PhraseUtils

A phrase-aware string splitter for query parsing in Elixir.

Splits strings on whitespace while respecting double-quoted phrases and prefix operators. Useful as a building block for search query parsers.

Usage

PhraseUtils.split("hello world")
#=> ["hello", "world"]

PhraseUtils.split(~s[hello "big world"])
#=> ["hello", "big world"]

PhraseUtils.split(~s[-"spam" +"eggs"])
#=> ["-spam", "+eggs"]
