Setup
-----

[](#setup)

```
$ composer require pinkcrab/wp-nonce
```

```
    $nonce = new Nonce('my_none_key');

    // To get the current nonce token
    $nonce->token();

    // To validate
    $nonce->validate($_POST['nonce']); // true/false

    // To add to url
    $url = $nonce->as_url('http://www.url.com', 'my_nonce'); // http://www.url.com?my_nonce={nonce_value}

    // Validate url.
    $nonce->admin_referer('my_nonce'); // true/false if set in url.
```

Methods
=======

[](#methods)

Create Instance
---------------

[](#create-instance)

```
// Create with a custom key
$custom_nonce = new Nonce('custom_key');
```

> Once your nonce has been created, it can be serialised and/or passed around your codebase.

as\_url( string $url, string $arg='\_wpnonce' ): string
-------------------------------------------------------

[](#as_url-string-url-string-arg_wpnonce--string)

```
$nonce = new Nonce('url_key');

$custom_key_in_url = $nonce->as_url('http://test.com', 'url_nonce');
// http://test.com?url_nonce={nonce_token}

$default_key_in_url = $nonce->as_url('http://test.com');
// http://test.com?_wpnonce={nonce_token}
```

> NOTICE! This doesnt make use of the refer value found in admin nonces.

token(): string
---------------

[](#token-string)

```
$nonce = new Nonce('url_key');

// To get the current nonce value.
print $nonce->token(); // 31b31db189

$nonce_token = nonce->token(); // 31b31db189
```

nonce\_field($name = '\_wpnonce'): string
-----------------------------------------

[](#nonce_fieldname--_wpnonce-string)

```
$nonce = new Nonce('as_input');

// Create a nonce field, with a custom id/name for input
print $nonce->nonce_field('my_nonce');
//

// Create a nonce field, with a custom id/name for input
print $nonce->nonce_field();
//
```

> The nonce field is not automcatically printed

validate($name = '\_wpnonce'): string
-------------------------------------

[](#validatename--_wpnonce-string)

```
$nonce = new Nonce('as_input');

// Create a nonce field, with a custom id/name for input
print $nonce->nonce_field('my_nonce');
//

// Create a nonce field, with a custom id/name for input
print $nonce->nonce_field();
//
