Integration for Django

This Django app offers the needed form, field, and widget class to add mosparo to your Django form.

---

Description

With this Django app, you can protect your forms with mosparo. Install the app, configure it and add the field to your forms.

How to use

Please see our How to use introduction on our website to learn how to use mosparo in your form.

In step 3 of the how-to-use explanation, you must integrate mosparo into your website. Please follow the Installation part below for this process.

In step 4 of the how-to-use explanation, you must connect your website with your mosparo project. Please follow the Usage part below.

Installation

Install using pip

Install this app by using pip:

pip install mosparo_django

Build from source

You need the module build to build the module from source.

1. Clone the repository
2. Build the package

python -m build

3. Install the package

pip install dist/mosparo_django-1.0.2-py3-none-any.whl

Usage

1. Create a project in your mosparo installation
2. Edit the settings.py file of your project
3. Add the mosparo integration to the list of enabled apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'mosparo_django',
]

3. Specify the configuration for mosparo:

MOSPARO_HOST = 'https://...'
MOSPARO_UUID = '...'
MOSPARO_PUBLIC_KEY = '...'
MOSPARO_PRIVATE_KEY = '...'
MOSPARO_VERIFY_SSL = True

4. Add the mosparo field to your form:

from mosparo_django.fields import MosparoField

class Form(forms.Form):
    # Your other fields...
    mosparo = MosparoField(label='Spam protection')

5. Add the verification (see Verification)
6. Test your form and verify that everything works correctly and you see the submission in mosparo.

Verification

After the user submits the form, the backend has to verify the form data before you can process them. Since we didn't find a good way to do this automatically, you have to implement one of the following options:

Use the mosparo Form class

Use the mosparo Form class to create your form instead of the django.forms.Form class:

from mosparo_django.forms import MosparoForm
from mosparo_django.fields import MosparoField

class Form(MosparoForm):
    # Your other fields...
    mosparo = MosparoField(label='Spam protection')

Override the clean method

The other option is to override the method clean of the Form class:

from mosparo_django.fields import MosparoField

class Form(forms.Form):
    # Your other fields...
    mosparo = MosparoField(label='Spam protection')

    def clean(self):
        self.mosparo.verify_data(self)
    
        return super().clean()

Important: No spam protection will happen if you do not use one of these two things.

Specify the connection details on the field

You can also specify the connection details on the field. For that, please add the field to your form and specify the connection settings by setting the parameters mosparo_host, mosparo_uuid, mosparo_public_key, mosparo_private_key, and mosparo_verify_ssl. If you want to change the UUID, public or private key, you have to specify all these three values because these depend on the project and if you want to connect the field to a different project, all three values will be different.

from mosparo_django.forms import MosparoForm
from mosparo_django.fields import MosparoField

class Form(MosparoForm):
    # Your other fields...
    mosparo = MosparoField(label='Spam protection', mosparo_uuid='123', mosparo_public_key='test_key', mosparo_private_key = 'private_key')

Filter the field types and form data

The MosparoField offers some callback methods to adjust the behavior of the field.

from mosparo_django.forms import MosparoForm
from mosparo_django.fields import MosparoField

class Form(MosparoForm):
    # Your other fields...
    mosparo = MosparoField(callback_ignored_field_types=None, callback_verifiable_field_types=None, callback_after_prepare_form_data=None)

Argument name	Description
callback_ignored_field_types	Gets and returns a list of class names of field types, which should be ignored (Example: PasswordInput)
callback_verifiable_field_types	Gets and returns a list of class names of field types, which are verifiable (Example: TextInput)
callback_after_prepare_form_data	Gets the dict with all prepared form data, the required field names, and the verifiable field names as argument and expects the same to be returned.
