sanitizer( callable $fn )
Sets a sanitization callback applied when set_existing() is called. Accepts any callable - a built-in helper constant, a WordPress function name, a closure, or any invokable.
Using a built-in helper:
use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Util\Sanitize;
Password::make( 'password' )
->sanitizer( Sanitize::TEXT )
->set_existing( '<script>alert("xss")</script>secret' ) // Stores: "secret"
Using a custom callable:
Password::make( 'password' )
->sanitizer( function( $value ) {
return trim( $value );
} )
->set_existing( ' secretpass ' ) // Stores: "secretpass"
Using a WordPress function:
Password::make( 'password' )
->sanitizer( 'sanitize_text_field' )
->set_existing( $user_input )
Built-in sanitizer helpers:
| Constant | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
Sanitize::TEXT | sanitize_text_field() | Strips tags, removes extra whitespace |
Sanitize::TEXTAREA | sanitize_textarea_field() | Like TEXT but preserves line breaks |
Sanitize::URL | esc_url_raw() | Sanitises a URL for database storage |

Sanitize::NOOP | Pass-through | No sanitization applied |
Each helper can also be called as a static method:
$clean = Sanitize::text( '<b>Hello</b>' ); // "Hello"
$clean = Sanitize::email( 'bad@@email' ); // "bad@email"
$clean = Sanitize::number( '42.5abc' ); // 42.5
