This library lets you validate usernames against a blacklist. The blacklist data is based on the data from The-Big-Username-Blacklist and contains privilege, programming terms, section names, financial terms and actions.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'the_big_username_blacklist'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install the_big_username_blacklist
Validating a username is easy, if the word is in the blacklist, return False (validation failed), otherwise True. Example:
> require 'the_big_username_blacklist'
> TheBigUsernameBlacklist.valid? 'martin'
true
> TheBigUsernameBlacklist.valid? 'root'
false
If you want to use it as instance method, it's easy. Example:
class YourClass
include TheBigUsernameBlacklist
end
YourClass.new.username_valid?('martin')
You want to add optional blacklist, you can use configuration on rails initializer
Example: config/initializers/the_big_username_blacklist.rb
TheBigUsernameBlacklist.configure do |config|
config.optional_usernames = %w(james)
end
TheBigUsernameBlacklist.valid? 'james' # => false
