Profanify is a PestPHP plugin created by Jon Purvis that helps detect and flag instances of profanity within your application. This tool lets you test your codebase for common swear words that may have inadvertently entered your code.
Install Profanify using composer:
composer require jonpurvis/profanify --devIn your Pest PHP test file, you can check for profanity using a simple assertion:
expect('App') ->toHaveNoProfanity();This scans your entire codebase for any instances of profanity. To narrow the scope to specific directories, simply modify the path:
expect('App\Http\Controllers') ->toHaveNoProfanity();Profanify is flexible in its configuration. You can also:
- Add custom phrases to test for profanity beyond the default word lists
- Specify exceptions to ignore certain phrases that would otherwise be flagged
When a test fails due to profanity being detected, Profanify will display the offending file and line number in the output, making locating and removing unwanted content easy.
Profanify currently detects profanity in the following languages:
- English
- Italian
- Arabic
- Portuguese
