Prune's Captcha

What is it for?

Captcha helps prevent robots from spamming using your forms.

Prerequisites

• To be installed on a Prune Django project that uses poetry or UV

UV project

Installation

Run the following command in the console:

uv add prune_captcha

Updating the captcha

Don't hesitate to regularly run uv sync --upgrade, as the captcha evolves with time and our practices!

Poetry project

Installation

Run the following command:

poetry add prune_captcha

Updating the captcha

Don't hesitate to regularly run poetry update, as the captcha evolves with time and our practices!

Captcha Integration

Configuration

In settings.py, set the path to the images used for the puzzle:

PUZZLE_IMAGE_STATIC_PATH = "website/static/website/images/puzzles/"

Important: You must import the static files (css, js) present in "prune_captcha/static/".

<header>
    <link
        rel="stylesheet"
        href="{% static 'prune_captcha/css/captcha.css' %}"
    />
    <script defer src="{% static 'prune_captcha/js/captcha.js' %}"></script>
</header>

Utilisation

• GET request (form display)

  • Use create_and_get_captcha to generate the captcha data:

    from prune_captcha.utils import create_and_get_captcha
    

    puzzle = create_and_get_captcha(request)
    

  • Passes the data into the context under the puzzle variable:

    return render(
        request,
        "website/pages/contact/page.html",
        {"form": form, "puzzle": puzzle},
    )
    

  • Include the component in your template:

    {% include "prune_captcha/captcha.html" %}
    

• POST request (form submission)

  • Use verify_captcha to validate the captcha:

    from prune_captcha.utils import verify_captcha
    

    response = verify_captcha(request)
    

  • True if the captcha is correct, else False.

  • Redirects in case of incorrect captcha.
