Configuration

The Sanitizer component can be configured globally or per-sanitizer basis. Here's an example of how to configure the HtmlPurifierSanitizer:

For global configuration options, refer to the Sanitizer class constructor.

Integration with Other KaririCode Components

The Sanitizer component is designed to work seamlessly with other KaririCode components:

• KaririCode\Contract: Provides interfaces and contracts for consistent component integration.
• KaririCode\ProcessorPipeline: Utilized for building and executing sanitization pipelines.
• KaririCode\PropertyInspector: Used for analyzing and processing object properties with sanitization attributes.

Registry Explanation

The registry is a core part of how sanitizers are managed within the KaririCode Framework. It acts as a centralized location to register and configure all sanitizers you plan to use in your application.

Here's how you can create and configure the registry:

This code demonstrates how to register various sanitizers with the registry, allowing you to easily manage which sanitizers are available throughout your application. Each sanitizer is given a unique identifier, which can then be referenced in attributes to apply specific sanitization rules.
