If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Latest Version on Packagist Testing Total Downloads

Middleware to implement a honeypot spam prevention. This technique is based on creating a input field that should be invisible and left empty by real users but filled by most spam bots. The middleware check in the incoming requests whether this value exists and is empty (is a real user) or doesn't exist or has a value (is a bot) returning a 403 response.

Requirements

Installation

This package is installable and autoloadable via Composer as middlewares/honeypot.

Example

Usage

In your forms, you have to include a <input> element that will be used as trap:

The middleware by default expect the input name is hpt_name but you can change it. Note also the css code that hide the honeypot, so users do not see anything, only robots. You may need to add some accesibility attributes like aria-label for screen readers.

Optionally, you can provide a Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface as the second argument to create the error response (403) when spam is detected. If it's not defined, Middleware\Utils\Factory will be used to detect it automatically.

Helpers

getField

This static method is provided to ease the creation of the input field, accepting two arguments: the input name and a label used for screen readers. If no name is provided, use the same name passed previously to the middleware.

Example:

getHiddenField

This static method generates the input field just like getField() does, but adds inline CSS to hide the field directly. Note: This may be easier to detect for some bots. If you want to get creative with hiding the field, use getField() in combination with custom CSS (or JS).
