README

Installation

This package requires PHP 8.1 and Laravel 10 or higher.

To install the PHP client library using Composer:

composer require coxlr/laravel-profanity

The package will automatically register the Profanity provider and facade.

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Coxlr\Profanity\ProfanityServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Then update config/profanity.php with your credentials. Alternatively, you can update your .env file with the following:

PROFANITY_REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER=*
PROFANITY_REPLACEMENT_LENGTH=4
PROFANITY_REPLACEMENT_LANGUAGES=en,es

Usage

To use Profanity you can use the facade, or request the instance from the service container.

Clean a string

$cleansedText = Profanity::clean('Using the facade to cleanse a string.');

/*
  This function returns a string with any profanity found replaced with replace value set in the config.
*/

Or

$profanity = app('profanity');

$cleansedText = $profanity->clean('Using the instance to cleanse a string.');

Check if a string is clean or not

$isClean = Profanity::isClean('The string to be checked.');

/*
  This function returns a boolean value. If the string is clean, it will return true. If the string contains profanity, it will return false.
*/

To set the languages to use when searching for profanity

$cleansedText = Profanity::setLanguages('en,es,fr')->clean('The string to be cleansed.');

To set strict mode when search for and replace profanity

Strict mode will replace any profanity found even if it is found within a word, and not just the exact word.

$cleansedText = Profanity::setStrict(true)->clean('The string to be cleansed.');

$isClean = Profanity::setStrict(true)->isClean('The string to be checked.');
