This piece of middleware can be applied at a global level, or on a per-route basis. The idea is that instead of polluting your databases with HTML and other potentially damaging data as a result of user input, this middleware will immediately strip all tags from any input, before it gets to validation or saved to a database. The result? A more dependable solution that doesn't require developer memory to implement safe output rules + cleaner data in your database.

If you want to use Sentry 2 filters used in Laravel 4.x, you have to modify your system a little bit. <br/> First install Sentry 2 for Laravel 5: "composer require cartalyst/sentry:dev-feature/laravel-5" Next add these three files to your App\Http\Middleware folder, then add the references into the Kernel.php file.
