This package provides tools to filter the valid data into the format intended. It feels like it is part of the Laravel framework and couldn't be any simpler to use. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Laravel 5.6+ Features -------- [](#features) - Format input with a collection of pre-made and tested Filters - `FilterRequests` trait that easily plugs into a `FormRequest` and enable filtering - `InputFilter` that allows developers to easily implement their own filters - `RequestFiltering` tool that can apply the same filters to any string you pass in - [Nested AND array filtering just like Laravel's own validator 👌](https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/validation#validating-arrays) - String based filtering similar to Laravel's validator + custom parsable filters Included Filters ---------------- [](#included-filters) Filter classUsageFilterCapitalizeCapitalizes the first character of each wordFilterSanitizeEscapes characters based on php's own validator constantsFilterSanitizeEmailSanitizes emailFilterSanitizeTextSanitizes text genericallyFilterSanitizeEncodedURL Encodes textFilterNumericRemoves all non-numerical charactersFilterStripTagRemoves HTML and PHP tags, keeps what you wantFilterToLowerConverts to lowercaseFilterToUpperConverts to uppercaseFilterTrimTrim leading and trailing white spaceFilterDateFormat into a specified Carbon date string see [Carbon docs](https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-formatting)Included Filters (as string literals) ------------------------------------- [](#included-filters-as-string-literals) Filter classUsage'capitalize'Capitalizes the first character of each word'email'Sanitizes email'sanitize'Sanitizes text generically'encode'URL Encodes text'number'Removes all non-numerical characters'strip'Removes HTML and PHP tags, keeps what you want'lowercase'Converts to lowercase'uppercase'Converts to uppercase'trim'Trim leading and trailing white space'date'Format into a specified Carbon date string see [Carbon docs](https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-formatting)You can make your own custom filters by implementing the `FilterInterface` :) How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) Import via composer: `composer require guerrilla/laravel-request-filters` In your [FormRequest](https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/validation#form-request-validation) use the following trait: `use Guerrilla\RequestFilters\FilterRequests` Describe your filters (Laravel rules included for familiarisation): ``` public function rules():array { return [ 'email' => ['required', 'email', 'bail'], 'name' => ['required'], 'employees.*.name' =>['required'] ]; } ``` ``` public function filters():array { return [ 'email' => [new FilterTrim, new FilterSanitizeEmail], 'name' => [new FilterTrim, new FilterSanitizeText, new FilterCapitalize], 'employees.*.name' => [new FilterCapitalize], 'date' => [new FilterTrim, new FilterDate('d/m/Y')] ]; } ``` Or use the string based syntax: ``` public function filters():array { return [ 'email' => 'trim|email', 'name' => 'trim|sanitize|capitalize', 'employees.*.name' => 'capitalize', 'date' => 'trim|date:d/m/Y' ]; } ``` Validate the request as per normal but, the results will be now filtered :) ``` $input = $request->validated(); echo $input['email']; //trimmed and sanitized email! ``` You can optionally just run the filter on any string you like outside of the request: ``` $validated_input = $request->validate([...]); $filtered_result = InputFilter::filter( $validated_input, [ 'email' => [new FilterTrim], 'name' => [new FilterTrim], 'meta.*.attributes' => [new MyCustom1Filter(1), new MyCustom2Filter(2)] ] ); ``` Using your own custom filtering rules to the string parsing syntax is easy! ``` $validated_input = $request->validate([...]); $custom_filters = [ 'custom1' => MyCustom1Filter::class, 'custom2' => MyCustom2Filter::class ]; $filtered_result = InputFilter::filterFromString( $validated_input, [ 'email' => 'trim', 'name' => 'trim', 'meta.*.attributes' => 'custom1:1|custom2:2' ], $custom_filters ); ``` License ------- [](#license) [MIT](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
