Laravel Request Sanitizer
=========================

[](#laravel-request-sanitizer)

### *Easily sanitize your form data*

[](#easily-sanitize-your-form-data)

This package provides an easy way and a fluent interface to sanitize form data.

- The request sanitizer allows you to easily manipulate your form data before any validation or treatment.
- It's also compatible with Laravel's `FormRequest` object.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require mawuekom/laravel-request-sanitizer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Syntax is similar to the way `rules` are added to a [Form Request](https://laravel.com/docs/master/validation#form-request-validation).

```
class StoreUserDataRequest extends FormRequest
{
     use InputSanitizer;

     protected $sanitizers = [
        'name' => [
            Uppercase::class,
        ],
        'first_name' => [
            CapitalizeEachWords::class,
        ],
        'phone_number' => [
            RemoveNonNumeric::class
        ],
     ];
}
```

 - Contributions are appreciated!
### FilterVars usage

[](#filtervars-usage)

The FilterVars sanitizer acts as a wrapper of the default PHP `filter_var` function. It accepts the same (optional) parameters as the original function. Both parameters can be either an `array` or `string` type:

```
 {
    protected $sanitizers = [
        'last_name' => [
            FilterVars::class => [
                'filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,
                'options' => FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_BACKTICK
            ]
        ]
    ];
 }
```

Please check [PHP Documentation](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php.) for more information on `filter_vars`.

Writing your own Sanitizer
--------------------------

[](#writing-your-own-sanitizer)

You can write your own sanitizer by implementing the `SanitizerContract` interface, which requires only one method.

```
namespace Mawuekom\RequestSanitizer\Contracts;

/**
 * Request sanitizer contract
 *
 * Class DataManagerRepo
 *
 * @package Mawuekom\RequestSanitizer\Contracts
 */
interface SanitizerContract
{
    /**
     * Sanitize an input and return it.
     *
     * @param $input
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function sanitize($input);
}
```
