rack-recaptcha

Drop this Rack middleware in your web application to enable CAPTCHA verification via Recaptcha API.

How to Use

Configuration

First, install the library with: [sudo] gem install rack-recaptcha

You have to require ‘rack-recaptcha’ in your gemfile.

ruby ## Gemfile gem 'rack-recaptcha', :require => 'rack/recaptcha'

Available options for `Rack::Recaptcha` middleware are:

* :public_key -- your ReCaptcha API public key *(required)*
* :private_key -- your ReCaptcha API private key *(required)*
* :proxy_host -- the HTTP Proxy hostname *(optional)*
* :proxy_port -- the HTTP Proxy port *(optional)*
* :proxy_user -- the HTTP Proxy user *(optional, omit unless the proxy requires it)*
* :proxy_password -- the HTTP Proxy password *(optional, omit unless the proxy requires it)*

Now configure your app to use the middleware. This might be different across each web framework.

Sinatra

ruby ## app.rb use Rack::Recaptcha, :public_key => 'KEY', :private_key => 'SECRET' helpers Rack::Recaptcha::Helpers

Padrino

ruby ## app/app.rb use Rack::Recaptcha, :public_key => 'KEY', :private_key => 'SECRET' helpers Rack::Recaptcha::Helpers

Rails

````ruby ## application.rb: module YourRailsAppName class Application < Rails::Application … config.gem ‘rack-recaptcha’, :lib => ‘rack/recaptcha’ config.middleware.use Rack::Recaptcha, :public_key => ‘KEY’, :private_key => ‘SECRET’ end end

application_helper.rb or whatever helper you want it in.

module ApplicationHelper include Rack::Recaptcha::Helpers end

application_controller.rb or whatever controller you want it in.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base … include Rack::Recaptcha::Helpers … end ````

Helpers

The Rack::Recaptcha::Helpers module (for Sinatra, Rails, Padrino) adds these methods to your app:

Return a javascript recaptcha form ruby recaptcha_tag :challenge

Return a non-javascript recaptcha form ruby recaptcha_tag :noscript

Return a ajax recaptcha form ruby recaptcha_tag :ajax

For ajax recaptcha’s, you can pass additional options like: ruby recaptcha_tag :ajax, :display => { :theme => 'red'}

For non-ajax recaptcha’s, you can pass additional options like: ```ruby # Overrides the key set in Middleware recaptcha_tag :challenge, :public_key => KEY

# Adjust Height and/or Width recaptcha_tag :noscript, :height => 300, :width => 500

# Adjust the rows and/or columns recaptcha_tag :challenge, :row => 3, :cols => 5

# Set the language recaptcha_tag :noscript, :language => :en ```

To test whether or not the verification passed, you can use:

ruby recaptcha_valid?

The recaptcha_valid? helper can also be overloaded during tests. You can set its response to either true or false by doing the following:

```ruby # Have recaptcha_valid? return true Rack::Recaptcha.test_mode!

# Or have it return false Rack::Recaptcha.test_mode! :return => false ```

For additional options and resources checkout the customization page

Example

In Padrino, here’s how you would use the helpers.

````haml ## new.haml - form_tag ‘/login’, :class => ‘some_form’, :method => ‘post’ do = text_field_tag :email = password_field_tag :password = recaptcha_tag(:challenge) = submit_tag “Submit”

sessions.rb

post :create, :map => ‘/login’ do if recaptcha_valid? “passed!” else “failed!” end end ````

In rails, you’ll need to use also use the raw method:

haml ## new.html.haml - form_tag '/login' do = raw recaptcha_tag(:challenge) = submit_tag "Submit"

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
