HoneypotField

✓ from honeypot import HoneypotField

✗ from honeypot.fields import HoneypotField

Minimal integration: add honeypot to INSTALLED_APPS, include HoneypotField in forms, and use verify_honeypot_value decorator on views.

# In settings.py INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'honeypot', ] # In a form from honeypot.fields import HoneypotField class MyForm(forms.Form): name = forms.CharField() email = forms.EmailField() hp = HoneypotField() # In a view with decorator from honeypot.decorators import verify_honeypot_value from django.shortcuts import render @verify_honeypot_value(field_name='hp') def my_view(request): # process form return render(request, 'form.html', {'form': MyForm()}) # In template, render honeypot field {{ form.hp }}

Debug

Known issues

gotchaHoneypotField must be rendered in the template exactly once per form. If omitted or rendered multiple times, the decorator may still pass silently unless the field name is missing.

fix

Ensure the template includes the honeypot field (e.g., {{ form.hp }}) and does not include it more than once.

affects: all

gotchaThe decorator verify_honeypot_value does not check for honeypot presence if the request method is not POST. It only validates on POST requests.

fix

Use the decorator only on views that handle POST requests or add method checking in the view logic.

affects: all

deprecatedThe 'honeypot_equals' decorator is deprecated in favor of 'verify_honeypot_value' with more flexible configuration.

fix

Replace honeypot_equals with verify_honeypot_value decorator.

affects: >=1.3.0
