Simple sanitizer class for PHP

Sanitizr

Basic sanitizer class for PHP applications., _(*1)

Features

Sanitize an array of data to any set of rules., _(*2)

Methods

• All php text methods
• Custom methods

If you think about anything else that could be added, feel free to submit a PR on the develop branch., _(*3)

Install

Install this package through composer, _(*4)

composer require whatdafox/sanitizer

Create a class that extends Sanitizer\Sanitizer and create a property rules to indicate your rules, _(*5)

<?php

use Sanitizer\Sanitizer;

class AcmeSanitizer extends Serializer {

    protected $rules = [
        'name' => 'trim|strtolower|ucwords',
        'email' => 'trim|strtolower'
    ];

}

To use your sanitizer, just call the sanitize() method with the array of data like so:, _(*6)

<?php

$sanitizer = new AcmeSanitizer;

$data = [
    'name' => ' JOHN DOE  ',
    'email' => 'JOHNDOE@EXAMPLE.com  '
];

$data = $sanitizer->sanitize($data);

// returns
// [
//     'name' => 'John Doe',
//     'email' => 'johndoe@example.com'
// ]

Custom sanitizers

If you would like to create your own sanitizing methods, just create a method with the sanitize prefix on your class like so:, _(*7)

public function sanitizeSnakeCase(){
    //
}

Then add snakeCase anywhere in your rules to use it!, _(*8)

Use with Laravel

You can inject any Sanitizer class you will create as a dependency within a constructor or in a method in your Laravel controllers., _(*9)

Just typehint the class like so:, _(*10)

public function index(AcmeSanitizer $sanitizer) {
    //
}

You can also call the sanitize method automatically when Laravel is resolving the dependency, by using Container Events in your Service Providers. For example:, _(*11)

$this->app->resolving(AcmeSanitizer::class, function($sanitizer, $app) {
    $app->request->merge($sanitizer->sanitize($app->request->all()));
});

This example will apply the rules to the request data when resolving the injected sanitizer class, this way you do not have to call sanitize() yourself!, _(*12)

That's all folks!, _(*13)
