BotDetect Captcha jQuery Plugin (BotDetect Captcha Simple API integration for all of the jQuery versions)
npm install jquery-captchaFor a comprehensive step-by-step integration guide please see our jQuery Captcha Plugin Integration Guide.
The guide covers the integration with the following backends:
- ASP.NET (Core): web API with MVC Core
- ASP.NET (Legacy): Web-API2, MVC1-5, Generic Handler
- Java: Servlet, Spring, Struts
- PHP: the plain PHP
To give you a hint how jQuery Captcha Plugin works we pasted bellow a few, not necessary up-to-date (and mostly frontend related), excerpts from the Integration Guide.
##### 1) jQuery Captcha Plugin Installation
``sh`
npm install jquery-captcha --save
##### 2) Include jQuery Captcha Plugin in Your App
`html`
##### 3) Load jQuery Captcha Plugin in Your App, and Configure Backend Captcha Endpoint
Endpoint configuration depends on which technology you use in the backend.
- ASP.NET-based captcha endpoint:
`js`
$(document).ready(function() {
// DOM ready
var captcha = $('#botdetect-captcha').captcha({
captchaEndpoint:
'https://your-app-backend-hostname.your-domain.com/simple-captcha-endpoint.ashx'
});
});
- Java-based captcha endpoint:
`js`
$(document).ready(function() {
// DOM ready
var captcha = $('#botdetect-captcha').captcha({
captchaEndpoint:
'https://your-app-backend-hostname.your-domain.com/simple-captcha-endpoint'
});
});
- PHP-based captcha endpoint:
`js`
$(document).ready(function() {
// DOM ready
var captcha = $('#botdetect-captcha').captcha({
captchaEndpoint:
'https://your-app-backend-hostname.your-domain.com/botdetect-captcha-lib/simple-botdetect.php'
});
});
##### 4) Display Captcha In Your View
`html`
##### 5) Captcha Validation: Client-side Code
`js
$('#yourFormWithCaptcha').submit(function(event) {
// the user-entered captcha code value to be validated at the backend side
var userEnteredCaptchaCode = captcha.getUserEnteredCaptchaCode();
// the id of a captcha instance that the user tried to solve
var captchaId = captcha.getCaptchaId();
var postData = {
userEnteredCaptchaCode: userEnteredCaptchaCode,
captchaId: captchaId
};
// post the captcha data to the /your-app-backend-path on your backend
$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://your-app-backend-hostname.your-domain.com/your-app-backend-path',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify(postData),
success: function(response) {
if (response.success == false) {
// captcha validation failed; reload image
captcha.reloadImage();
// TODO: maybe display an error message, too
} else {
// TODO: captcha validation succeeded; proceed with your workflow
}
}
});
event.preventDefault();
});
`
##### 6) Captcha Validation: Server-side Code
The userEnteredCaptchaCode and captchaId values posted from the frontend are used to validate a captcha challenge on the backend.
The validation is performed by calling the: Validate(userEnteredCaptchaCode, captchaId).
- Server-side captcha validation with ASP.NET Captcha on backend is executed in the following way:
`csharp`
// C#
SimpleCaptcha yourFirstCaptcha = new SimpleCaptcha();
bool isHuman = yourFirstCaptcha.Validate(userEnteredCaptchaCode, captchaId);`vbnet`
' VB.NET
Dim yourFirstCaptcha As SimpleCaptcha = New SimpleCaptcha()
Dim isHuman As Boolean = yourFirstCaptcha.Validate(userEnteredCaptchaCode, captchaId)
- Server-side captcha validation with Java Captcha on backend is executed in the following way:
`java`
SimpleCaptcha yourFirstCaptcha = SimpleCaptcha.load(request);
boolean isHuman = yourFirstCaptcha.validate(userEnteredCaptchaCode, captchaId);
- Server-side captcha validation with PHP Captcha on backend is executed in the following way:
`php``
$yourFirstCaptcha = new SimpleCaptcha();
$isHuman = $yourFirstCaptcha->Validate($userEnteredCaptchaCode, $captchaId);
