You can initialise the package with:

php artisan turnstile:install

The install command will publish the config file.

TURNSTILE_ENABLED=true

Usage

There are three way to use this package.

1. As a middleware

To use turnstile is specific routes of your application, you can register a new middleware in your laravel app/Http/Kernel.php.

class Kernel extends HttpKernel {
    // other class code
    
    protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // Other middlewares
        'turnstile' => \NjoguAmos\Turnstile\Http\Middleware\TurnstileMiddleware::class
    ];
}

Once the middleware has been defined in the HTTP kernel, you may use the middleware method to assign middleware to a route:

Route::get('/register', function () {
    //
})->middleware('turnstile');

Ensure your client side technology submit a turnstile token using a name defined in turnstile config file. Your can learn how to implement client side render from cloudflare website. Example:

Upon submitting the form, the turnstile token will be validated against turnstile api. If it fails, the request will be redirected back with status message. You can handle this message however you want in client side.

2. As a validation rule (v2.x.x)

You can user the inbuilt validation to validate form input

use NjoguAmos\Turnstile\Rules\TurnstileRule;

class RegisterRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /** @return array<string, array> */
    public function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            # Other fields
            'token'   => ['required', new TurnstileRule() ],
        ];
    }
    
    # Other code
}

3. Manual

You can validate turnstile token by calling validate method of Turnstile facade. The result will be true when token passed and false when token fails.

use NjoguAmos\Turnstile\Turnstile;

$isValid = (new Turnstile())->validate($token);

// Code is valid or invalid

Disabling

To increase the speed of your unit tests, you may wish to disable the turnstile. You can do so by setting TURNSTILE_ENABLED to false. i.e

#.env
TURNSTILE_ENABLED=false

When disabled,

turnstile middleware will always pass
turnstile validation rule will always pass

😀 Remember to turn turnstile on when you deploy.

Testing

Info This package does not mock request. It uses the secret keys provided by Cloudflare. Therefore, test scenarios hits the real turnstile api.
