• Validation: Easily check if a character belongs to the Arabic alphabet.

Usage 🛠️

1. String Extensions (Transliteration & Validation)

Convert Arabic text to Latin characters for URLs or usernames.

import 'package:arabic_helpers/arabic_helpers.dart';

void main() {
  String name = "محمد";
  print(name.convertArabicToUser()); // Output: mohamad

  String char = "أ";
  print(char.isArabicCharacter()); // Output: true
}

2. Number Formatting

Format large integers into a readable Arabic format.

void main() {
  int subscribers = 5000;
  print(subscribers.formatNumbers()); // Output: ٥ آلاف
  
  int views = 2000000;
  print(views.formatNumbers()); // Output: ٢ م
}

3. DateTime Extensions

Get human-readable relative time in Arabic or check if a date is "new".

void main() {
  DateTime postDate = DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(hours: 2));

  // Show as "ساعتين"
  print(postDate.showRecentTimeInArabic()); 

  // Check if date is within the last 7 days (default)
  print(postDate.isNewDate()); // Output: true
  
  // Custom range: Check if within last 2 days
  print(postDate.isNewDate(days: 2)); 
}
