A Word Filter for filtering text.

A Word Filter is a system for identifying and censoring specific words or phrases in strings. Common usage includes censoring vulgar or profane language and preventing spam or vandelism in user-provided content.

The Word Filter implementation provided here allows for advanced filtering functionality, including:

  • Finding and censoring filtered words.
  • Ignoring words that are considered "exceptions".
  • Allowing specification of "aliases", i.e. strings that can replace other strings (for example, an alias could be created to replace the letter "a" with the character "@").
  • Ignoring specified separators (such as spaces or other characters) between letters of filtered words.

A Word Filter is useful for checking and censoring user-generated text in chat applications, online games, and many other contexts.

Usage

This crate is intended to be used along-side the word_filter_codegen crate. A WordFilter is created within the build.rs file at compile-time using a WordFilterGenerator from the word_filter_codegen crate. See the documentation for further details.

Example

For example, a simple WordFilter can be generated by the following.

First, add both the word_filter and word_filter_codegen crates to the Cargo.toml [dependencies] and [build-dependencies] lists respectively. Be sure their versions match.

[dependencies]
word_filter = "0.5.0"

[build-dependencies]
word_filter_codegen = "0.5.0"

Next, generate the WordFilter in the build.rs file.

use std::{
    env,
    fs::File,
    io::{BufWriter, Write},
    path::Path,
};
use word_filter_codegen::{Visibility, WordFilterGenerator};

fn main() {
    let path = Path::new(&env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap()).join("codegen.rs");
    let mut file = BufWriter::new(File::create(&path).unwrap());

    writeln!(
        &mut file,
        "{}",
        WordFilterGenerator::new()
            .visibility(Visibility::Pub)
            .word("foo")
            .generate("FILTER")
        );
}

And finally, include the generated code in the lib.rs file.

include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/codegen.rs"));

assert!(FILTER.censor("Should censor foo."), "Should censor ***.");
