Restricted
==========

[](#restricted)

Restricted allows you to restrict your users from signing up with reserved words.

Reserved words can be:

1. Your route segments - Example, you have this route: [www.mywebsite.com/login](http://www.mywebsite.com/login)and your application allows to view user profile like this: [www.mywebsite.com/username](http://www.mywebsite.com/username)This package can crawl all your routes and return a validation message when a user tries to register with such words like "login"
2. Words you just want to reserve - Example: cart, products, admin etc. These words can be added manually to the reserved.txt file. after running the "restricted:index" command.

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

[](#installation)

To install Restricted use composer

### Download

[](#download)

```
composer require nawrasbukhari/restricted

```

### Publish the config

[](#publish-the-config)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nawras\Restricted\RestrictedServiceProvider" --tag="config"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, we need to crawl and index the application routes by running the command:

```
php artisan restricted:index

```

Now, you can simply add restricted to your validations like so:

```
    $this->validate($request, [
        'name' => 'required|string|min:5',
        'username' => 'required|restricted'
    ]);
```

You can also add a new validation message

```
    $this->validate($request, [
        'name' => 'required|string|min:5',
        'username' => 'required|restricted'
    ],[
    	'username.restricted' => 'A user exists with that username. Please try another or add more characters'
    ]);
```

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

- file\_path: (string) File name and path to save the indexed words
- index\_level: (int) How deep do u want us to crawl your routes? ExAMPLE => [www.mywebsite.com/segment1/segment2/segment3](http://www.mywebsite.com/segment1/segment2/segment3). setting this value to '2', will allow indexing of segment1 and segment2 and exclude segment3
- merge: (bool) should we to merge the new results with the old ones
