FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package spam-shield
Laravel Anti-Spam Package
A comprehensive Laravel package designed to protect your application from spam and bot submissions. This package includes several features like Google reCAPTCHA integration, honeypots, form submission timeouts, and random human answerable questions with multilingual support.
Features
- Google reCAPTCHA Integration: Protect your forms with Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated submissions.
- Form Submission Timeout Filter: Reject submissions that are made too quickly (to filter out bots that submit forms almost instantly).
- Honeypot Input: Add a hidden field in your forms that only bots will fill in, rejecting any submissions that have values in these fields.
- Random Human Answerable Questions: Display questions that only humans can answer, with support for multiple languages including Turkish.
- Multilingual Support: Easily add additional languages for the random questions.
- Configurable Settings: All features are configurable through a single configuration file.
Installation
Step 1: Install the package via Composer
To install the package, run the following command in your Laravel project:
Step 2: Publish the Configuration File
Once the package is installed, you need to publish the configuration file to your Laravel project:
This will create the config/antispam.php configuration file where you can customize the behavior of the package.
Configuration
After publishing the configuration file, you can modify the settings for various anti-spam features.
Google reCAPTCHA
To enable Google reCAPTCHA on your forms, set enabled to true and add your site and secret keys:
Make sure to add your reCAPTCHA keys to the .env file:
Form Submission Timeout Filter
To prevent bots from submitting forms too quickly, enable the timeout filter and set the minimum_seconds to a value in seconds:
Honeypot Field
Enable the honeypot feature to add a hidden field to your forms that only bots will fill in. Bots will be rejected if they submit the honeypot field.
Random Questions
Enable the random questions feature to display a question that only a human can answer. You can customize the questions for each language.
You can add as many languages as needed. The package will automatically display the questions based on the current locale.
Usage
Adding to Forms
-
Honeypot Field: Simply include the honeypot field in your form. The field will be hidden from the user, and only bots will fill it.
- Random Questions: The question will be displayed dynamically, and the answer must be provided in the random_answer field.
Middleware
The package includes middleware that you can register in app/Http/Kernel.php to protect your routes from spam:
Apply it to your routes or controllers as needed:
Customizing the Questions
You can easily add more questions or modify existing ones by updating the questions section in the config/antispam.php file.
For example, add more questions to the English or Turkish language sections or add a new language.
Security Features
- Google reCAPTCHA: Prevents bots from submitting forms by requiring user interaction.
- Form Submission Timeout: Rejects submissions that occur too quickly after the form is loaded, which is a common behavior for bots.
- Honeypot Field: Bots will automatically fill out the hidden field, allowing you to reject them based on the presence of data in this field.
- Random Questions: Randomly generated human-answerable questions that make it hard for bots to submit forms successfully.
