This rule will apply everywhere an email is checked against the `UserValidator` including registration and email change requests. The format of the external API request can be customized to meet a range of needs. The data is expected to be passed in one of two ways: via query string, or via HTTP body. The response can be read in one of two ways: a JSON key in the response, or the HTTP status code. Additionally, an error message can optionally be read from a JSON key in the response. Otherwise, a default error message can be provided in the extension settings. To inject the email value inside the **URI** or **Body** settings, use one of the following strings in the template: - `{{ email | urlencode }}`: This value will be replaced with the email value passed through PHP's `urlencode()` method - `{{ email | json }}`: This value will be replaced with the email value passed through PHP's `json_encode()`. This means the JSON string delimiters will be included! - `{{ email | raw }}`: This value will be replaced with the email value without any modification. Don't use this in the URI or JSON payload if you don't know what you're doing. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-external-email-validation ``` Support ------- [](#support) This extension is under **minimal maintenance**. It was developed for a client and released as open-source for the benefit of the community. I might publish simple bugfixes or compatibility updates for free. You can [contact me](https://clarkwinkelmann.com/flarum) to sponsor additional features or updates. Support is offered on a "best effort" basis through the Flarum community thread. Integration tests ----------------- [](#integration-tests) This extension has integration tests that rely on a local webserver running. Run `composer test:server` to start the PHP development server on port 8000 with the docroot set to the `fixtures` folder. Then you can run `composer test:setup` and `composer test` like regular Flarum integration tests.
