Installation

1. Install the package via Composer:

   composer require yasser-elgammal/pure-text

2. Publish the configuration file:

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="YasserElgammal\PureText\PureTextServiceProvider"

3. Configure your list of words to filter in the config/badwords.php file.

Usage

1. Add the Trait to Your Model

   Use the PureTextFilterable trait in any model where you need to filter specific attributes.

   use YasserElgammal\PureText\Traits\PureTextFilterable;
   
   class Post extends Model
   {
       use PureTextFilterable;
   
       protected $filterable = ['title', 'content'];
   }

2. Configuring Filterable Attributes

   Define protected $filterable on the model with an array of attribute names you want to filter.

Configuration

The configuration file badwords.php allows you to define:

• words: An array of bad words that should be filtered.
• replacement: The replacement text for filtered words, defaulting to ***.

Example

Here's a basic example of usage in a controller:

$post = new Post();
$post->title = "This is a badword example";
$post->content = "Some more text with badword";
$post->save();

echo $post->title; // Outputs: This is a ***
