Quickstart

  1. Install the package
    composer require padosoft/laravel-pii-redactor
  2. Publish configuration when you need to change defaults
    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=pii-redactor-config
  3. Redact text through the facade
    use Padosoft\PiiRedactor\Facades\Pii;

$text = 'IBAN IT60X0542811101000000123456, email mario@example.com.';
$redacted = Pii::redact($text);
  4. Inspect detections before replacing content
    $report = Pii::scan('Telefono +39 333 1234567 e P.IVA 12345678903.');
$counts = $report->countsByDetector();
Default scope

The default configuration loads the international detectors and ItalyPack. Add Germany or Spain explicitly when the host application processes those jurisdictions.

First useful configuration

PII_REDACTOR_ENABLED=true
PII_REDACTOR_STRATEGY=mask
PII_REDACTOR_MASK_TOKEN=[REDACTED]
PII_REDACTOR_AUDIT_TRAIL=false

For reversible pseudonymisation, switch to tokenise, set PII_REDACTOR_SALT, choose a persistent token store, and run the migration if the database driver is selected.
