Restricted allows you to restrict your users from signing up with reserved words.
Reserved words can be:
- Your route segments - Example, you have this route: www.mywebsite.com/login and your application allows to view user profile like this: www.mywebsite.com/username This package can crawl all your routes and return a validation message when a user tries to register with such words like "login"
- Words you just want to reserve - Example: cart, products, admin etc. These words can be added manually to the reserved.txt file. after running the "restricted:index" command.
To install Restricted use composer
composer require codulab/restricted
Add the following service provider to the array in: config/app.php
Codulab\Restricted\RestrictedServiceProvider::class,
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=restricted_config
First, we need to crawl and index the application routes by running the command:
php artisan restricted:index
Now, you can simply add restricted to your validations like so:
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required|string|min:5',
'username' => 'required|restricted'
]);
You can also add a new validation message
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required|string|min:5',
'username' => 'required|restricted'
],[
'username.restricted' => 'A user exists with that username. Please try another or add more characters'
]);
- file_path: (string) File name and path to save the indexed words
- index_level: (int) How deep do u want us to crawl your routes? ExAMPLE => www.mywebsite.com/segment1/segmen2/segment3. setting this value to '2', will allow indexing of segment1 and segment2 and exclude segment3
- merge: (bool) should we to merge the new results with the old ones
