[](#hidden-field-based-antispam-bundle-for-symfony-5-)

This bundle adds into each form a hidden field with an empty value. If the field comes back with a non-empty value, then we assume that the form was filled in by a bot and the form is rejected.

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

[](#installation)

### Applications that use Symfony Flex

[](#applications-that-use-symfony-flex)

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

```
$ composer require meteo-concept/hiddenfieldantispam-bundle
```

### Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

[](#applications-that-dont-use-symfony-flex)

#### Step 1: Download the Bundle

[](#step-1-download-the-bundle)

Install the bundle with one of the commands above. You now have to enable it and configure it without the recipe.

#### Step 2: Enable the Bundle

[](#step-2-enable-the-bundle)

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the `config/bundles.php` file of your project:

```
// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    MeteoConcept\HiddenFieldAntispamBundle\MeteoConceptHiddenFieldAntispamBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configure the bundle, for instance in `config/packages/meteo_concept_hidden_field_antispam.yml`:

```
meteo_concept_hidden_field_antispam:
    enabled: true # this is the default
    field_name: "meteo_concept_sentinel" # this is the default

twig:
    form_themes:
        - '@MeteoConceptHiddenFieldAntispam/hidden_field_antispam_form.html.twig' # to hide the antispam field
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You have nothing else to do, the field is automatically added to all root (i.e. non-embedded forms).

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Randomize the field name, just in case bots would become smart
- More advanced, randomize the field type while leaving it invisible
