# Honeypot: Spam Prevention
A simple spam prevention package for Laravel 5.4 and 5.5.

# Installation:
### Composer
Run this command inside your terminal to add the package into your project.
```
composer require devarjhay/honeypot
```

# Configuration
### Register the Honeypot Service Provider (Laravel 5.4 only)
Add the package to your application service providers in `config/app.php` file.
```php
'providers' => [

/*
* Laravel Framework Service Providers...
*/
Illuminate\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider::class,
Illuminate\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider::class,
Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider::class,
...

/*
* Package Service Providers...
*/
DevArjhay\Honeypot\Providers\HoneypotServiceProvider::class,
],
```

### Publish Config File and Translations
Optimize the application
```
php artisan optimize
```
Publish the package config file and translations to your application. Run this command inside your terminal.
```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DevArjhay\Honeypot\Providers\HoneypotServiceProvider"
```
Or, you may want to publish the file individually.
```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DevArjhay\Honeypot\Providers\HoneypotServiceProvider" --tag="config"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DevArjhay\Honeypot\Providers\HoneypotServiceProvider" --tag="lang"
```

# Usage
### Using Facades
Add the honeypot hidden input into your form by inserting `Honeypot::make(...)` like this:
```html

{!! Honeypot::make('honeypot_name', 'honeypot_time') !!}

```
### Using Helpers
```html

{!! honeypot('honeypot_name', 'honeypot_time') !!}

```
### Using Blade Templates
```html

@honeypot('honeypot_name', 'honeypot_time')

```
The `make` method will output the following HTML input. (The `honeypot_time` field will generate an encrypted tmestamps.
```html





```
After adding the honeypot fields. Add the validation rules for the honeypot and honey time fields.
```php
$this->validate($request, [
...
'honeypot_name' => 'honeypot',
'honeypot_time' => 'required|honeytime:5'
]);
```
Please note that you need to specify the number of seconds in honeytime. It should take for the user to fill up the form. If it takes less time than that the form is considered as a spam submission.

I hope you enjoy getting a less spam when user submitting a form.
