Akismet for Dart #

Runtime Release License Coverage Build

Prevent comment spam using the Akismet service, in Dart.

Features #

  • Key verification: checks an Akismet API key and gets a value indicating whether it is valid.
  • Comment check: checks a comment and gets a value indicating whether it is spam.
  • Submit spam: submits a comment that was not marked as spam but should have been.
  • Submit ham: submits a comment that was incorrectly marked as spam but should not have been.

Requirements #

The latest Dart SDK and Pub versions. If you plan to play with the sources, you will also need the latest Grinder version.

Installing via Pub

1. Depend on it #

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  akismet: *

2. Install it #

Install this package and its dependencies from a command prompt:

$ pub get

3. Import it #

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:akismet/akismet.dart';

Usage #

Key verification #

try {
  var client = new Client('your API key', 'http://your.blog.url');
  var isValid = await client.verifyKey();
  print(isValid ? 'Your API key is valid.' : 'Your API key is invalid.');
}

on Exception catch (err) {
  print('An error occurred: $err');
}

Comment check #

try {
  var comment = new Comment(
    new Author('127.0.0.1', 'Mozilla/5.0'),
    content: 'A comment.',
    date: new DateTime.now()
  );

  var isSpam = await client.checkComment(comment);
  print(isSpam ? 'The comment is marked as spam.' : 'The comment is marked as ham.');
}

on Exception catch (err) {
  print('An error occurred: $err');
}

Submit spam/ham #

try {
  await client.submitSpam(comment);
  print('Spam submitted.');

  await client.submitHam(comment);
  print('Ham submitted.');
}

on Exception catch (err) {
  print('An error occurred: $err');
}

Events #

The Client class triggers some events during its life cycle:

  • request : emitted every time a request is made to the remote service.
  • response : emitted every time a response is received from the remote service.

These events are exposed as Stream, you can listen to them using the on<EventName> properties:

client.onRequest.listen((request) => print('Client request: ${request.url}'));
client.onResponse.listen((response) => print('Server response: ${response.statusCode}'));

Unit tests #

In order to run the tests, you must set the AKISMET_API_KEY environment variable to the value of your Akismet API key:

$ export AKISMET_API_KEY="<YourAPIKey>"

Then, you can run the test script from the command prompt:

$ pub run test
