composer require elrayes/extreme-captcha

1. Auto-discovery

• Service Provider: Elrayes\\Extreme\\Captcha\\CaptchaServiceProvider

Quick start

• Controller example:

$captcha = app('extreme-captcha')->generate(); // returns ['code' => 'ABCDE', 'image' => 'data:image/png;base64,...']
return view('auth.register', compact('captcha'));

• Blade view:

<img src="{{ $captcha['image'] }}" alt="captcha" />

• Validate user input against the generated captcha using the custom rule extreme_captcha:

$request->validate([
    'captcha' => ['required', 'extreme_captcha'],
]);

• Using the facade:

use ExtremeCaptcha;
$captcha = ExtremeCaptcha::generate();
