Plain HTML form · Docs

With a data attribute #

The shortest integration: configure the script on its tag and mark the form.

HTML

<script src="https://blockalt.click/v1/assets/blockalt.c8b2d9539dbbc932999adb0f51a36bddd4e99899f543e1505818841878cf9813.js"

<form method="post" action="/contact" data-blockalt-action="contact">
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button>Send</button>
</form>

On submit the script adds the token as blockalt-token and sends the form. See forms.

With a submit handler #

Add the script, a hidden blockalt-token field and a submit handler in a static file (no inline script needed):

const form = document.querySelector("#signup");
form.addEventListener("submit", async (event) => {
  event.preventDefault();
  try {
    // A fresh token for every attempt: single use, valid for 120 seconds.
    form.elements["blockalt-token"].value = await protection.execute("signup");
    form.submit();
  } catch {
    form.querySelector(".error").textContent = "Please try again.";
  }
});

On the server #

Read blockalt-token from the posted fields and verify it before doing anything, with any of the server snippets. Show a neutral message on refusal ("Please try again") and log the reason and id for yourself.
