angus-dv/captcha
================

CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a security measure used to determine whether a user is a human or a bot. It helps prevent automated software from abusing online services, protecting websites from spam, fraud, and other malicious activities.

ACaptcha
========

[](#acaptcha)

ACaptcha is a smart CAPTCHA solution designed to provide an easy and secure way to protect your web forms, similar to Google reCAPTCHA v2. Built with Laravel, ACaptcha is lightweight and user-friendly.

[![show](./docs/img.png)](./docs/img.png)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Smart CAPTCHA**: Advanced algorithms to distinguish between human users and bots.
- **Easy Integration**: Simple to implement in your Laravel forms.
- **Customizable**: Publish your own JavaScript, CSS, and images for masks and backgrounds.
- **Confusable Design**: The masked images are crafted to be visually complex, making them difficult for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) systems to detect while remaining user-friendly for human interaction..

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. **Install ACaptcha** via Composer:

```
composer require angus-dv/captcha

```

2. **Publish Assets**:

After installation, you need to publish the necessary JavaScript, CSS, and image assets:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=acaptcha

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### 1. Displaying the CAPTCHA

[](#1-displaying-the-captcha)

To include the CAPTCHA in your form, simply use the following HTML code:

```

 @include('ACaptcha::show')

```

### 2. Verifying the CAPTCHA

[](#2-verifying-the-captcha)

You can verify the CAPTCHA on the backend using Laravel's validation rules. Use the `ACaptchaVerify` rule in your validation logic:

```
$request->validate([
	'a_captcha_hash_salt' => ['required', 'a_captcha_verify'],
 ]);

 or

$request->validate([
	'a_captcha_hash_salt' => ['required', new ACaptchaVerify],
 ]);

```

Alternatively, you can use the helper function to verify the CAPTCHA:

```
if (a_captcha_verify($request->input('a_captcha_hash_salt'))) {
	// CAPTCHA verified successfully
} else {
	 // CAPTCHA verification failed
}

```

Conclusion
----------

[](#conclusion)

ACaptcha is designed to be straightforward and powerful, making it a great addition to your Laravel application. Protect your forms and enhance security with minimal effort!
