#### Validation

[](#validation)

Add `'mathcaptcha' => 'required|mathcaptcha'` to rules array.

```
$this->validate($request, [
    'mathcaptcha' => 'required|mathcaptcha',
]);
```

Add corresponding translation string to your `lang/validation.php` files.

```
app('mathcaptcha')->reset();
```

-------------

[](#configuration)

### Operands, Min, Max

[](#operands-min-max)

You can adjust the available operands (`+`,`-`,`*`) and minimum or maximum randum values used. Some users might stuggle with more complex math operations.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ElicDev\MathCaptcha\MathCaptchaServiceProvider" --tag=config

```

### Display as text

[](#display-as-text)

It is possible to show the math question as text (e.g. "Four plus Five"). You can adjust a setting in the config file. This requires translations and a language files. A few languages are provided with this package.
