Pure Text Laravel Package

PureText

PureText is a Laravel package for filtering and replacing inappropriate or unwanted words within model attributes automatically. Designed to be customizable and efficient, PureText allows developers to specify filterable attributes for each model.


Features

  • Automatic Filtering: Automatically filters designated model attributes upon saving.
  • Customizable Words List: Easily modify the list of inappropriate words and replacements from the config file.
  • Language Support: Works with multiple languages, including Arabic and other non-Latin character sets.
  • Trait Integration: Apply the Filterable trait to models, specifying which attributes should be filtered.
  • Service Provider Configuration: Provides easy configuration via a service provider and includes a singleton service for optimal performance.

Installation

  1. Install the package via Composer:

    composer require yasser-elgammal/pure-text
    
  2. Publish the configuration file:

    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="YasserElgammal\PureText\PureTextServiceProvider"
    
  3. Configure your list of words to filter in the config/badwords.php file.

Usage

  1. Add the Trait to Your Model

Use the PureTextFilterable trait in any model where you need to filter specific attributes.

```php
use YasserElgammal\PureText\Traits\PureTextFilterable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use PureTextFilterable;

    protected $filterable = ['title', 'content'];
}
```
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Configuring Filterable Attributes

Define protected $filterable on the model with an array of attribute names you want to filter.

Configuration

The configuration file badwords.php allows you to define:

  • words: An array of bad words that should be filtered.
  • replacement: The replacement text for filtered words, defaulting to ***.

Example

Here's a basic example of usage in a controller:

$post = new Post();
$post->title = "This is a badword example";
$post->content = "Some more text with badword";
$post->save();

echo $post->title; // Outputs: This is a ***
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
