Usage
Simple example with sample dataset & javascript client
// server.js
const express = require('express');
const fs = require('fs');
const captcha = require('@exom-dev/captcha');

// Captcha needs json body parser to work
app.use(express.json());
// Setting up the dataset with captcha images
captcha.setOptions({ dataset: captcha.dataset.sample });
app.use('/captcha', captcha.dataset);
// Add captcha server routes
app.use('/captcha', captcha.server);
// Optionally host javascript client files
app.use('/captcha', captcha.client);
// Add your own routes
app.get('/register', (request, response) => {
fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/example.html').pipe(response);
});
app.post('/register', (request, response) => {
if (captcha.consume(request.body['exm-captcha']) === true) {
// everything okay
}
response.redirect('/register');
});
app.listen(80);
