### API Methods
```php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
```sh
composer require landrok/language-detector:1.0
```

$detector = new LanguageDetector\LanguageDetector();
________________________________________________________________________

// Gets detected language
$lang = $detector->evaluate('My sentence is in english')->getLanguage();
Examples
--------
________________________________________________________________________

// Gets all supported languages
$languages = $detector->getSupportedLanguages();
### Single detection

// Gets all scores
$scores = $detector->getScores();
This usage is not recommended if you want to make several consecutive evaluations

// Gets detected language again
$lang = $detector->getLanguage();
```php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

// One line usage: instanciate, evaluate and get language
$lang = ( new LanguageDetector\LanguageDetector() )
->evaluate('My sentence is in english')
->getLanguage();
```
________________________________________________________________________

### Multiple detections

If you have a list of texts to detect, a possible way is to instanciate
once and then to translate your list.

### Common usage
```php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$strings = [
$texts = [
'My sentence is in english',
'My sentence number two is in english too'
];
