Laravel Request Filter

This package allows you to easily create / use filters which transform input values, by removing or changing characters within the value.

Installation

composer require abstractrs/laravel-filters

Laravel will discover the package by itself. If you feel old-school, disable auto-discovery and add Abstractrs\Form\Request\RequestFilterProvider::class to the providers array in your config/app.php.

Config - publish vendor

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-filters

• config/filters.php

<?php

return [
    'aliases' => [
        'encrypt' => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\EncryptFilter::class,
        'decrypt' => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\DecryptFilter::class,
        'hash'    => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\HashFilter::class,
        'lower'   => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\StringToLowerFilter::class,
        'upper'   => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\StringToUpperFilter::class,
        'null'    => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\ToNullFilter::class,
        'int'     => \Abstractrs\Form\Request\Filters\ToIntFilter::class,
    ],
    'namespace' => 'Http\\Filters'
];

Create custom filter

php artisan make:filter RemoveCharsFilter

<?php

    {
        return [
            'name'  => 'lower|hash',
            'names' => 'array:lower', // Call lower filter for each array value
            'id'    => 'int',
            'date'  => 'carbon,d/m/Y',
            'created_date'  => 'carbon' //default format -> filters.date_format (Y-m-d H:i:s)
        ];
    }
