Filter options (advanced)

You can pass in options to filters to change the way they operate. You can pass in options using the addFilter() method on an element. Pass in an array as the second argument containing the array keys that are options of the filter. See the documentation below on each filter or the code for the filters in the quform/lib/Quform/Filter/ folder to see the options you can use.

1

$element->addFilter('stripTags', array('allowableTags' => array('<br>', '<p>')));

$element->addFilter('stripTags', array('allowableTags' => array('<br>', '<p>')));

You can also pass in options at instantiation and then add the filter object to your element.
