Slick Filter is a set of filter utilities tah can be used to filter input values, sanitize data and create filter chains to apply on a certain value.

This package is compliant with PSR-2 code standards and PSR-4 autoload standards. It also applies the [semantic version 2.0.0](http://semver.org) specification.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require slick/filter
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The best way to filter your data is to use the `StaticFilter` utility class. It can create any `FilterInterface` filter and it has alias for the known filters that are bundled with the `Slick\Filter` package.

```
use Slick\Filter\StaticFilter;

echo StaticFilter::filter('number', '12 3');  // Will output 123

$text = StaticFilter::filter('text', 123);
echo is_string($text);      // will output 1 (true)
```

#### Known filters

[](#known-filters)

AliasClassDescription*text*`Slick\Filter\Text`Converts input to a string*number*`Slick\Filter\Number`Converts the input to an integer number*url*`Slick\Filter\Url`Converts/Fixes the input to a valid URL*htmlEntities*`Slick\Filter\HtmlEntities`Converts special characters to its html entity representation#### Filter chains

[](#filter-chains)

It is also possible to combine multiple filters to a single input value by using the `FilterChainInterface`.

```
use Slick\Filter\FilterChain;
use Slick\Filter\StaticFilter;

$filterChain = new FilterChain();

$filterChain
    ->add(StaticFilter::create('text'))
    ->add(StaticFilter::create('htmlEntities'));

$input = 'This is a simple text & cia!';

$output = $filterChain->filter($value);

echo $output;
```

The above code will output:

```
This is a simple text & cia!
```

You can create you own filters by implementing the `FilterInterface`.
