Csp plugin for CakePHP
======================

[](#csp-plugin-for-cakephp)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This plugin does some slight changes in the FormHelper and HtmlHelper, so there won't be any inline script resp. style anymore, so the developer can easily add CSP headers.

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

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](http://getcomposer.org).

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

```
composer require thefredfox/cakephp-csp

```

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

[](#configuration)

To load this Plugin inside CakePHP:

```
// in bootstrap.php file
Plugin::load('Csp');
```

In your layout or your pages, you have to load the css and js files of the csp plugin:

```
// in your layout/page file
$this->Html->css('Csp.csp');
$this->Html->script('Csp.csp'); //this script has to be loaded at the bottom
```

If you don't use any other FormHelper or HtmlHelper yet, you can easily use the Helpers of this plugin:

```
// in your AppView
public function initialize()
{
  $this->loadHelper('Csp.Html');
  $this->loadHelper('Csp.Form');
}
```

### Extending third party helpers

[](#extending-third-party-helpers)

If you are using another FormHelper or HtmlHelper (e.g. the BootstrapUI helpers), you may use the Traits provided by this plugin in an own extending Helper class:

```
// in src/View/Helper/FormHelper

class FormHelper extends \BootstrapUI\View\Helper\FormHelper {

  use \Csp\View\Helper\FormHelperTrait;

}
```

### Extending your own helpers

[](#extending-your-own-helpers)

If you already extends one of the helpers, you can try to use the Trait like above, but you may want to extend your helper again to not override something.

```
// in src/View/Helper/CspFormHelper (or the like)

class CspFormHelper extends FormHelper {

  use \Csp\View\Helper\FormHelperTrait;

}
```

I tried it with my own Helper classes, which extends the BootstrapUI classes. In the HtmlHelper class I already override the link function which also is overridden by the Csp-plugin's HtmlHelper, so I create another CspHtmlHelper class which extends my other HtmlHelper and uses the HtmlHelperTrait by the csp plugin. It works. ;)
