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 and your application allows to view user profile like this: 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

To install Restricted use composer

Download

composer require codulab/restricted

Add service provider

Add the following service provider to the array in: config/app.php

Codulab\Restricted\RestrictedServiceProvider::class,

Publish the config

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=restricted_config

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

• 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/segmen2/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
