Profanity

What is Profanity?

Profanity is a PHP library that allows blocking bad words out of a given string. It currently blocks more than 2.555 words in different languages. It's very easy to use and can filter a 100 chars string in about 0.0021 seconds!

Sample Filter

This example is a simple string that is going to be filtered using this library.

$clean_words = Profanity::blocker('My cool string bitch')->filter()

// My cool string *****

Methods

Constructor

• blocker($text, $blocker = '****', $languages = [])

  Setup the text and the blocker to use.

  note: The blocker defaults to ****

  note: Pass language codes to reduce the list of bad words that are taken into account.

Class Methods

• strict(true/false)

  Set the strict mode to enabled or disabled. Strict mode replaces the string even if it's not a word: assets => (tagged as ass) => **** Disable to ensure normal usage. Defaults to false.

• strictClean(true/false)

  Set the strict clean mode to enabled or disabled. Strict clean mode ensures the first blocked character is repeated for each bad word character. If so, a bad word of length = 3 (ass) will result in a ***, instead of the blocker (defaults to ****). If the blocker is -**- then the same example as above would produce --- as strict clean true and -**- as false. Defaults to true.

• clean()

  Returns true if the text have no bad words on it.

• filter()

  Filters the text with the given blocker.

• badWords()

  Return the bad words found in the text.

• text($text)

  Sets the text to filter.

• blocker($blocker)

  Sets the string that will replace the bad words.

• dictionary($dictionary)

  Sets the dictionary. If string is provided, it will be treated as a path and will try to decode the json contained in the path. If array is provided, it will set the dictionary.

  Example dictionary:

  [
      {
          "language": "en",
          "word": "bitch"
      },
      {
          "language": "en",
          "word": "fuck"
      }
  ]
