Profanity Filter

Profanity Filter takes strings as input and removes any bad curse words that the string might have. It check the string for specific blacklist which must match as a sperate 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 *).

Default curse words from Shuttershock list of banned words https://github.com/shutterstock/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscene-and-Otherwise-Bad-Words

This package is intended to used with Laravel. Tested and working with laravel 5.1.

This code is based on Fastwebmedia/Profanity-Filter. A major part of it is taken from there and I added the things that I thought it required.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require LinkThrow/profanityfilter

###Laravel Add LinkThrow\ProfanityFilter\ProfanityFilterServiceProvider::class to your providers array.

If you wish to use the Facade then add 'Profanity' => LinkThrow\ProfanityFilter\Facades\Profanity::class

The package will automatically use the config file containing the list of banned words.

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)'];

$profanity_filter = new LinkThrow\ProfanityFilter($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
);
