Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require faresmts/safewords
Usage
This is the simplest way to call a safewords checker:
$isSafe = SafeWords::filter($text)
->isSafe()
->get();
And this is the way to call a safewords censor:
$censoredText = SafeWords::filter($text)
->replace()
->get();
Both methods can be called with useDictionary() function to add new words to block:
$isSafe = SafeWords::filter($text)
->useDictionary(['foo', 'bar'])
->isSafe()
->get();
$censoredText = SafeWords::filter($text)
->useDictionary(['foo', 'bar'])
->replace()
->get();
Functions
-
filter(string $text): add the text you want to check. -
useDictionary(array $userBadWords): add the words you want to block in SafeWords checker. -
isSafe(): method that evaluates whether the text is safe. -
replace(string $replace = '*'): method that replaces each character of the bad word with the variable inside $string. Default is '*'. -
get(): get the result of the chosen method.
Exceptions
-
The methods
isSafe()andreplace()cannot be called at the same time, throwing an exception if this happens. -
The method
useDictionary()cannot be called after theisSafe()orreplace(). It must be called before.
