+### FilterVars usage
+The FilterVars sanitizer acts as a wrapper of the default PHP `filter_var` function. 
+It accepts the same (optional) parameters as the original function. 
+Both parameters can be either an `array` or `string` type:
+```php
+ {
+    protected $sanitizers = [
+        'last_name' => [
+            FilterVars::class => [
+                'filter' => FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,
+                'options' => FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_BACKTICK
+            ]
+        ]
+    ];
+ }
+```
+For more information on filter_vars please refer to https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php.

 Writing your own sanitizer can be done by implementing the `Sanitizer` interface, which requires only
