[CAPTCHAFORUM]

This is a Captcha gem for Rails Applications which generates captcha image by C code.

Example


Feature

• No dependencies. No ImageMagick. No RMagick;
• For Rails Application;
• Simple, Easy to use;
• High performance.

Usage
Put rucaptcha in your Gemfile:

gem 'concise_rucaptcha'

Create config/initializers/concise_rucaptcha.rb

ConciseRuCaptcha.configure do
  # Color style, default: :colorful, allows: [:colorful, :black_white]
  # self.style = :colorful
  # Custom captcha code expire time if you need, default: 2 minutes
  # self.expires_in = 120
  # [Requirement / 重要]
  # Store Captcha code where, this config more like Rails config.cache_store
  # default: Read config info from `Rails.application.config.cache_store`
  # But RuCaptcha requirements cache_store not in [:null_store, :memory_store, :file_store]
  # 默认：会从 Rails 配置的 cache_store 里面读取相同的配置信息，并尝试用可以运行的方式，用于存储验证码字符
  # 但如果是 [:null_store, :memory_store, :file_store] 之类的，你可以通过下面的配置项单独给 RuCaptcha 配置 cache_store
  self.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
end

(RuCaptha do not use Rails Session to store captcha information. As the default session is stored in Cookie in Rails, there's a Replay attack bug which may causes capthcha being destroyed if we store captcha in Rails Session.

So in my design I require RuCaptcha to configure a distributed backend storage scheme, such as Memcached, Redis or other cache_store schemes which support distribution.

Meanwhile, for the ease of use, RuCapthca would try to use :file_store by default and store the capthca in tmp/cache/rucaptcha/session directory (kindly note that it's not working if deploy on multiple machine).

For recommendation, configure the cache_store（more details on Rails Guides Configuration of Cache Stores） to Memcached or Redis, that would be the best practice.)

Controller app/controller/account_controller.rb

When you called verify_rucaptcha?, it uses value from params[:_rucaptcha] to validate.

class AccountController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])
    if verify_rucaptcha?(@user) && @user.save
      redirect_to root_path, notice: 'Sign up successed.'
    else
      render 'account/new'
    end
  end
end

class ForgotPasswordController < ApplicationController
  def create
    # without any args
    if verify_rucaptcha?
      to_send_email
    else
      redirect_to '/forgot-password', alert: 'Invalid captcha code.'
    end
  end
end

TIP: Sometimes you may need to keep last verified captcha code in session on verify_rucaptcha? method call, you can use keep_session: true. For example: verify_rucaptcha? @user, keep_session: true.​

View app/views/account/new.html.erb

<form method="POST">
  ...
  <div class="form-group">
    <%= rucaptcha_input_tag(class: 'form-control', placeholder: 'Input Captcha') %>
    <%= rucaptcha_image_tag(alt: 'Captcha') %>
  </div>
  ...

  <div class="form-group">
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
  </div>
</form>

And if you are using Devise, you can read this reference to add validation: RuCaptcha with Devise.

Write your test skip captcha validation
for RSpec

describe 'sign up and login', type: :feature do
  before do
    allow_any_instance_of(ActionController::Base).to receive(:verify_rucaptcha?).and_return(true)
  end

  it { ... }
end
for MiniTest

class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  def sign_in(user)
    ActionController::Base.any_instance.stubs(:verify_rucaptcha?).returns(true)
    post user_session_path \
         'user[email]'    => user.email,
         'user[password]' => user.password
  end
end

Invalid message without Devise
When you are using this gem without Devise, you may find out that the invalid message is missing. For this case, use the trick below to add your i18n invalid message manually.

if verify_rucaptcha?(@user) && @user.save
  do_whatever_you_want
  redirect_to someplace_you_want
else
  # this is the trick
  @user.errors.add(:base, t('rucaptcha.invalid'))
  render :new
end
