OOP WordPress nonces
====================

[](#oop-wordpress-nonces)

This library is an object oriented implementation of WordPress nonces. It implements the following WordPress functions:

- wp\_create\_nonce()
- wp\_verify\_nonce()
- wp\_nonce\_ays()
- wp\_nonce\_field()
- wp\_nonce\_url()

For an explanation of what WordPress nonces are please see [WordPress codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Nonces).
**PLEASE NOTE: This is a development version that, for generating the nonces, uses fake algorithms and stubbed values instead of real algorithms and values.**

The preferred method for using this library is through the provided Factory. Here you can find some examples.

### Examples:

[](#examples)

#### wp\_create\_nonce() functionality

[](#wp_create_nonce-functionality)

Getting a nonce for the action 'my\_action':

```
use Agavitalis\WPNonce\Factories\WPNonceFactory;
$nonce_string = (new WPNonceFactory('my_action'))->getRaw()->get();
```

#### wp\_nonce\_field() functionality

[](#wp_nonce_field-functionality)

Getting hidden fields with nonce, for action 'my\_action', field name 'my\_nonce', with the referer and without echo:

```
use Agavitalis\WPNonce\Factories\WPNonceFactory;
$nonce_field_string = (new WPNonceFactory('my_action'))->getField('my_nonce', true, false)->get();
```

#### wp\_nonce\_url() functionality

[](#wp_nonce_url-functionality)

Getting a nonce added to the url  , for action 'my\_action', with name 'my\_nonce':

```
use Agavitalis\WPNonce\Factories\WPNonceFactory;
$nonce_url_string = (new WPNonceFactory('my_action'))->getUrl('http://example.com/insertdata', 'my_nonce')->get();
```

#### wp\_verify\_nonce() functionality

[](#wp_verify_nonce-functionality)

If you receive the string 'abcd123456', the action is 'my\_action' and you want to verify this nonce against your action you'll use:

```
use Agavitalis\WPNonce\Factories\WPNonceFactory;
$nonce_ok = (new WPNonceFactory('my_action'))->getRaw()->verify('abcd123456');
```

#### wp\_nonce\_ays() functionality

[](#wp_nonce_ays-functionality)

To display the "Are you sure" message to confirm the action being taken, for the action 'my\_action':

```
use Agavitalis\WPNonce\Factories\WPNonceFactory;
(new WPNonceFactory('my_action'))->getRaw()->ays();
```
