A unofficial ruby wrapper for Filter8 (http://filter8.com). An API to filter lots of stuff from texts, e.g. bad words.

As you'd expect. Nothing special here:

gem install filter8

Before you use Filter8 you need to configure it:

Filter8.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = "your filter8-api-key"
  config.api_secret = "your filter8-api-secret"
end

Simply send the content, you wish to filter with the filter-method:

Filter8.filter("your content")

If you want to change the default-options of filter8 (https://filter8.com/documentation), you can pass an optional options-hash with the filter-configuration:

Filter8.filter("your content", blacklist: {enabled: true, locales: [:en, :de, :fr], tags: ["AsciiArt"]})

The email and urls filters are not yet supported.

Feedback and pull-request are always welcome. You can find the author via http://toadle.me
