It is influenced a lot by [PasswordStrengthBundle for Symfony 2](https://github.com/jbafford/PasswordStrengthBundle). It is out now for a while and since there were no complaints it very likely fulfills its purpose. The provided validations include: - check if input contains alphabetic characters - check if input contains numeric characters - check if input contains mixed case characters - check if input contains symbols Documentation ============= [](#documentation) Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Get the package [](#get-the-package) **For Laravel 4 users** Just `composer require schuppo/password-strength:"~0.10"`. **For Laravel 5 users** Just `composer require schuppo/password-strength:"~1.5"`. ### Initialize the package [](#initialize-the-package) > If you do run the package on Laravel 5.5+, you can start using the package at this point. [package auto-discovery](https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/package-auto-discovery-in-laravel-5-5-ea9e3ab20518) takes care of the magic of adding the service provider. If you do not run Laravel 5.5 (or higher), then add the following line under the `providers` array key in *app/config.php*: ``` // app/config/app.php return array( // ... 'providers' => array( // ... \Schuppo\PasswordStrength\PasswordStrengthServiceProvider::class, ); // ... ); ``` **Caution** I recently recognized a small conflict in the usage of this package in combination with [unique-with](https://github.com/felixkiss/uniquewith-validator): One runs into problems when adding the `PasswordStrengthServiceProvider` **after** `UniqueWithValidatorServiceProvider` to the providers array, the rules of this package stay unknown to the Laravel `Validator`. The problem is easy to fix though: Just add the service provider of this package in front of the service provider of *unique-with*. In that order both packages work fine. Usage ----- [](#usage) Now Laravel's native `Validator` is extended by four rules: - case\_diff - numbers - letters - symbols ### Example [](#example) You can apply these rules as described in the [validation section on Laravel's website](http://laravel.com/docs/validation) ``` $v = Validator::make(array( 'password' => '12345QWERTqwert@', 'password' => 'case_diff|numbers|letters|symbols' )); $v->passes(); // returns true; ``` Notice that you can validate any value with the new rules. The only reason why this package is called "Password Strength Package" is that it describes its foremost purpose. History ======= [](#history) **\[Laravel 5 / Laravel 4\]** **\[1.11/-\]** Simplifies symbol validation **\[1.10/0.15\]** Adds Chinese and Spanish translation **\[1.9/0.14\]** Improves Polish translation **\[1.8/0.13\]** Adds Arabic translation **\[1.7/0.12\]** Adds Czech translation **\[1.6/0.11\]** - Adds Russian translation **\[1.5/0.10\]** - Adds unicode flag to case difference validation rule **\[1.4/0.9\]** - Adds Dutch translation - Updates French translation - Makes packages php7 ready **\[1.3/0.8.2\]** Adds Romanian translation **\[1.2/0.8.1\]** Adds Polish translation **\[1.1/0.8\]** Adds French translation **\[1.0.2/0.7\]** Updates README.md **\[1.0.1\]** Make package laravel 5 ready **\[0.6\]** - New validation rule to check if input contains symbols. Thanks to [closca](https://github.com/closca) for providing this new feature. **\[0.5.3\]** - Added new version to composer.json **\[0.5.2\]** - Small changes in README.md **\[0.5.1\]** - Minimum requirement (PHP 5.4 because of array chains) is now recognized by composer.json **\[0.4.1\]** - The package works properly now when other extensions of laravel's validator are used as well (like [unique-with](https://github.com/felixkiss/uniquewith-validator)). - The package is able to take localization overwrites now as described in the [laravel docs](http://laravel.com/docs/localization#overriding-package-language-files) **\[0.3.1\]** - Fixed: Package validator doesn't overwrite custom validation errror messages any more. Not functional tested though because I have no clue how to set up a test which controls the passing of variables from the password strength package to the native validator INSIDE the package's test folders.
