ReservedNamesBundle - alister/reserved-names-bundle
===================================================

[](#reservednamesbundle---alisterreserved-names-bundle)

A bundled service to clean, and check, a given username against an (extensible) list of reserved words/usernames.

Note: This DOES NOT validate usernames. That should happen (and potentially disallow names) before getting to this stage.

Installation and use
====================

[](#installation-and-use)

1. Add to app/AppKernel.php

    ```
    $bundles = array(
        new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
        // ... many others

        new Alister\ReservedNamesBundle\AlisterReservedNamesBundle(),
    );
    ```
2. Add to app/config/config.yml

    ```
    alister_reserved_names:
        names:
            # These keys will be lower-cased
            - myname
            - myothername
            - alister
            - private
    ```
3. Use

    ```
    $username = 'myname_123';
    $reserved = $this->container->get('alister_reserved_names.check');
    if ($reserved->isReserved($username)) {
        echo "{$username} is reserved";
    }
    ```
4. Services provided:

- alister\_reserved\_names.check
    - Check username does not match a reserved name, before or after calling @cleanusername
    - @see Alister\\ReservedNamesBundle\\Services\\ReservedNames
    - The code also strips off trailing 's', and then additional noise characters (digits, -, \_) for a final test against the reserved names
- alister\_reserved\_names.cleanusername
    - remove 'noise characters' around the given username
    - EG: myname\_123 becomes myname
    - @see Alister\\ReservedNamesBundle\\Services\\CleanUserNames

Included tests
--------------

[](#included-tests)

Testing is done with the classes directly, and also via a container, to test the service initialisation. This also allows a check for the 'local reservations' - extra names that can be defined in the local application. The container-based test includes a micro-application to build the container, and so run the full test. [How to create a test setup for a local test of the service](http://blog.kevingomez.fr/2013/01/09/functional-testing-standalone-symfony2-bundles/).
