It checks the strings for specific blacklist which must match as a separate word to be considered as a curse word. If a curse word is found, then it will replace the curse word with a censor character the user chooses (default is \*). This package is intended to used with Laravel. Tested and working with laravel 5.4. If you want to override the Package's config file, just copy it and rename it to `config/profanity-filter.php`, and update as per your needs. This code is based on [Fastwebmedia/Profanity-Filter](https://github.com/fastwebmedia/Profanity-Filter). A major part of it is taken from there and I added the things that I thought it required. Install ------- [](#install) Via Composer ``` $ composer require sworup/profanityfilter ``` \###Laravel Add `'Sworup\ProfanityFilter\ProfanityServiceProvider'` to your providers array. If you wish to use the Facade then add `'Profanity' => 'Sworup\ProfanityFilter\Profanity'` The package will automatically use the config file containing the list of banned words. Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` $swear_word = ['dog']; $blacklist = ['puppy']; $replace = ['a' => '(a|a\.|a\-|4|@|Á|á|À|Â|à|Â|â|Ä|ä|Ã|ã|Å|å|α|Δ|Λ|λ)']; $profanity_filter = new sworup\ProfanityFilter($swear_words, $blacklist, $replace); echo $profanity_filter->clean('Dog, puppy badpuppy baddog!', '$'); ``` The above code would return: ``` array( 'old_string' => 'Dog, puppy badpuppy baddog!', 'new_string' => '$$$, $$$$$ badpuppy bad$$$!', 'clean' => false ); ``` Change log ---------- [](#change-log) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information about what has changed recently.
