title: Usage

Usage

The package exposes its functionality through five layers — sanitization helpers, escaping helpers, validation rules, middleware, and Content Security Policy — plus a set of Artisan commands for auditing and CSP management.

Topics

• Input validation + sanitization — sanitizeEmail, sanitizeText, sanitizeInt, sanitizeArray, kses(), NoHtml / SecureUrl rules
• Security headers — security.headers middleware, configured headers, custom headers
• Content Security Policy (CSP) — nonce generator, policy builder, presets, violation reporting, dashboard
• Rate limiting — named limiters, per-route api.rate_limit
• Session security — encrypted sessions, validation, hijacking detection
• API security — api.security middleware, token validation, API-specific headers
• Artisan commands — full command reference (security:* and csp:*)

Quick reference

use ArtisanPackUI\Security\Facades\Security;

// Sanitize (input)
$email = Security::sanitizeEmail($request->input('email'));
$body = Security::kses($request->input('body'));

// Or use the helper functions
$email = sanitizeEmail($request->input('email'));
$body = kses($request->input('body'));

// Escape (output)
echo escHtml($user->bio);
echo escAttr($formAction);
echo escJs($payload);

{{-- CSP nonce on inline scripts --}}
<script [@csp_nonce](https://github.com/csp_nonce)>
    // ...
</script>

{{-- Validation rules --}}

Route::middleware('api.rate_limit:api')->group(...);
