Automatically distinguishes business emails from public providers. Sift extracts domains from email addresses and filters out common public providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.), making it easy to identify business email domains for lead qualification, analytics, or validation workflows. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require mischasigtermans/laravel-sift ``` Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) ``` use MischaSigtermans\Sift\Facades\Sift; // Extract business domains (filters public providers by default) Sift::domain('user@company.com'); // 'company.com' Sift::domain('user@gmail.com'); // null (filtered) // Check if email is business or personal Sift::isBusiness('user@company.com'); // true Sift::isBusiness('user@gmail.com'); // false // Validate in form requests $request->validate([ 'email' => ['required', 'email', Sift::rule()], ]); ``` Why Sift? --------- [](#why-sift) When collecting emails from users, you often need to distinguish between business and personal addresses. Public email providers like Gmail and Yahoo don't tell you anything about the user's company, while business domains (`user@acme.com`) identify the organization. **Common use cases:** - **Lead qualification**: Filter out personal emails to focus on business leads - **Domain analytics**: Group users by company domain - **B2B validation**: Ensure only business emails are accepted - **CRM enrichment**: Extract company domains for account matching Features -------- [](#features) ### Domain Extraction [](#domain-extraction) Extract the domain portion from any email address: ``` Sift::domain('john.doe@example.com'); // 'example.com' Sift::domain('support@sub.domain.org'); // 'sub.domain.org' ``` ### Smart Filtering [](#smart-filtering) Public email providers are filtered by default. The package includes 100+ common providers: ``` // These return null (filtered as public providers) Sift::domain('user@gmail.com'); Sift::domain('user@yahoo.com'); Sift::domain('user@outlook.com'); // Business domains pass through Sift::domain('user@stripe.com'); // 'stripe.com' Sift::domain('user@company.io'); // 'company.io' // Include public domains when needed Sift::domain('user@gmail.com', true); // 'gmail.com' ``` ### Domain Checking [](#domain-checking) Check if a domain or email belongs to a public provider: ``` Sift::isCommon('gmail.com'); // true Sift::isCommon('user@protonmail.com'); // true Sift::isCommon('company.com'); // false // Or check if it's a business email Sift::isBusiness('user@company.com'); // true Sift::isBusiness('user@gmail.com'); // false ``` ### Validation Rule [](#validation-rule) Require business email addresses in form requests: ``` use MischaSigtermans\Sift\Rules\BusinessEmail; // Using the rule class directly $request->validate([ 'email' => ['required', 'email', new BusinessEmail], ]); // Or via the facade helper $request->validate([ 'email' => ['required', 'email', Sift::rule()], ]); ``` Error message: "The email must be a business email address." ### Batch Processing [](#batch-processing) Process multiple emails at once: ``` $emails = [ 'john@acme.com', 'jane@stripe.com', 'bob@gmail.com', 'alice@acme.com', ]; // Extract unique business domains (filters personal emails) Sift::domains($emails); // ['acme.com', 'stripe.com'] // Extract all unique domains without filtering Sift::extractAll($emails); // ['acme.com', 'stripe.com', 'gmail.com'] // Include personal domains Sift::domains($emails, includeCommon: true); // ['acme.com', 'stripe.com', 'gmail.com'] ``` ### Statistics [](#statistics) Analyze email collections: ``` $emails = [ 'john@acme.com', 'jane@acme.com', 'bob@stripe.com', 'alice@gmail.com', 'charlie@yahoo.com', ]; $stats = Sift::stats($emails); // [ // 'total' => 5, // 'business' => 3, // 'personal' => 2, // 'business_rate' => 60.0, // 'top_domains' => [ // 'acme.com' => 2, // 'stripe.com' => 1, // ], // ] // Limit top domains returned $stats = Sift::stats($emails, topDomainsLimit: 5); ``` ### Case Insensitive [](#case-insensitive) All comparisons are case-insensitive: ``` Sift::domain('User@GMAIL.COM'); // null Sift::domain('User@Company.COM'); // 'company.com' Sift::isCommon('YAHOO.COM'); // true ``` ### Blade Support [](#blade-support) Use directly in Blade templates: ``` @if(Sift::isBusiness($user->email)) {{ Sift::domain($user->email) }} @else Personal email @endif ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The package includes 100+ public email providers by default. You automatically get updates when the package is updated. Publish the config file to customize: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sift-config ``` ``` // config/sift.php return [ // Add extra domains to filter (on top of package defaults) 'additional_domains' => [ 'competitor.com', 'internal-tool.io', ], // Whitelist specific defaults (allow them as business emails) 'exclude_default_domains' => [ 'protonmail.com', // Allow privacy-focused provider 'fastmail.com', ], ]; ``` ### View All Default Domains [](#view-all-default-domains) ``` use MischaSigtermans\Sift\DefaultDomains; // Get the full list of 100+ default domains DefaultDomains::LIST; // Or get the merged list (defaults + additional - excluded) Sift::getCommonDomains(); ``` Use Cases --------- [](#use-cases) ### Lead Form Validation [](#lead-form-validation) ``` public function store(Request $request) { $request->validate([ 'email' => ['required', 'email', Sift::rule()], ]); Lead::create([ 'email' => $request->email, 'company_domain' => Sift::domain($request->email), ]); } ``` ### User Analytics Dashboard [](#user-analytics-dashboard) ``` public function emailStats() { $emails = User::pluck('email'); return Sift::stats($emails); // Shows business vs personal breakdown with top company domains } ``` ### User Grouping [](#user-grouping) ``` $users = User::all()->groupBy(function ($user) { return Sift::domain($user->email, true) ?? 'personal'; }); // [ // 'acme.com' => [...users from acme.com...], // 'stripe.com' => [...users from stripe.com...], // 'personal' => [...users with gmail, yahoo, etc...], // ] ``` ### Conditional Pricing [](#conditional-pricing) ``` public function calculateDiscount(User $user): int { if (Sift::isBusiness($user->email)) { return 20; // 20% enterprise discount } return 0; } ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2+ - Laravel 10, 11, or 12 Credits ------- [](#credits) - [Mischa Sigtermans](https://github.com/mischasigtermans) License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 44 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity45 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 88.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
