laravel-html-purifier

An HTML Purifier for Laravel

A simple Laravel service provider for easily using HTMLPurifier inside Laravel. From their website:

HTML Purifier is a standards-compliant HTML filter library written in PHP. HTML Purifier will not only remove all malicious code (better known as XSS) with a thoroughly audited, secure yet permissive whitelist, it will also make sure your documents are standards compliant, something only achievable with a comprehensive knowledge of W3C's specifications. Tired of using BBCode due to the current landscape of deficient or insecure HTML filters? Have a WYSIWYG editor but never been able to use it? Looking for high-quality, standards-compliant, open-source components for that application you're building? HTML Purifier is for you!

Installation

For Laravel 5.5+

Require this package with composer:

composer require hdvinnie/laravel-html-purifier

The service provider will be auto-discovered. You do not need to add the provider anywhere.

For Laravel 5.0 to 5.4

Require this package with composer:

composer require hdvinnie/laravel-html-purifier

Find the providers key in config/app.php and register the HTMLPurifier Service Provider.

    'providers' => [
        // ...
        HDVinnie\Purifier\PurifierServiceProvider::class,
    ]

Find the aliases key in config/app.php and register the Purifier alias.

    'aliases' => [
        // ...
        'Purifier' => HDVinnie\Purifier\Facades\Purifier::class,
    ]

Usage

Use these methods inside your requests or middleware, wherever you need the HTML cleaned up:

\clean(Input::get('inputname'));

or

Purifier::clean(Input::get('inputname'));

dynamic config

\clean('This is my H1 title', 'titles');
\clean('This is my H1 title', array('Attr.EnableID' => true));

or

Purifier::clean('This is my H1 title', 'titles');
Purifier::clean('This is my H1 title', array('Attr.EnableID' => true));

use URI filter

Purifier::clean('This is my H1 title', 'titles', function (HTMLPurifier_Config $config) {
    $uri = $config->getDefinition('URI');
    $uri->addFilter(new HTMLPurifier_URIFilter_NameOfFilter(), $config);
});

Alternatively, in Laravel 7+, if you're looking to clean your HTML inside your Eloquent models, you can use our custom casts:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use HDVinnie\Purifier\Casts\CleanHtml;
use HDVinnie\Purifier\Casts\CleanHtmlInput;
use HDVinnie\Purifier\Casts\CleanHtmlOutput;

class User extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'bio'            => CleanHtml::class, // cleans both when getting and setting the value
        'description'    => CleanHtmlInput::class, // cleans when setting the value
        'history'        => CleanHtmlOutput::class, // cleans when getting the value
    ];
}

Configuration

To use your own settings, publish config.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="HDVinnie\Purifier\PurifierServiceProvider"

Config file config/purifier.php should like this

return [
    'encoding'           => 'UTF-8',
