Honeypot::make('honeypot_name', 'honeypot_time') !!} ``` ### Using Helpers [](#using-helpers) ``` {!! honeypot('honeypot_name', 'honeypot_time') !!} ``` ### Using Blade Templates [](#using-blade-templates) ``` @honeypot('honeypot_name', 'honeypot_time') ``` The `make` method will output the following HTML input. (The `honeypot_time` field will generate an encrypted tmestamps. ``` ``` After adding the honeypot fields. Add the validation rules for the honeypot and honey time fields. ``` $this->validate($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.
