# [Akismet](https://www.akismet.com) for Kotlin, Java and Android

A pretty complete and straightforward implementation of the [Automattic's Akismet](https://akismet.com/development/api/) API, a free service which can be used to actively stop comments spam.

## Examples (TL;DR)

#### Kotlin

```kotlin
val akismet = Akismet(apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY", blog = "YOUR_BLOG_URL")
val comment = AkismetComment(userIp = "127.0.0.1", userAgent = "curl/7.29.0")

with(comment) {
    referrer = "https://www.google.com"
    type = AkismetComment.TYPE_COMMENT
    author = "admin"
    authorEmail = "test@test.com"
    authorUrl = "https://www.CheckOutMyCoolSite.com"
    dateGmt = Akismet.dateToGmt(Date())
    content = "It means a lot that you would take the time to review our software."
}
// ...

val isSpam = akismet.checkComment(comment)
if (isSpam) {
    // ...
}
```

#### Java

```java
final Akismet akismet = new Akismet("YOUR_API_KEY", "YOUR_BLOG_URL");
final AkismetComment comment = new AkismetComment("127.0.0.1", "curl/7.29.0");

comment.setReferrer("https://www.google.com");
comment.setType(AkismetComment.TYPE_COMMENT);
comment.setAuthor("admin");
comment.setAuthorEmail("test@test.com");
comment.setAuthorUrl("https://www.CheckOutMyCoolSite.com");
comment.setDateGmt(Akismet.dateToGmt(new Date()));
comment.setContent("It means a lot that you would take the time to review our software.");
//...

final boolean isSpam = akismet.checkComment(comment);
if (isSpam) {
    // ...
}
```

### bld

To use with [bld](https://rife2.com/bld), include the following dependency in your [build](https://github.com/ethauvin/akismet-kotlin/blob/master/examples/bld/src/bld/java/com/example/ExampleBuild.java) file:

```java
repositories = List.of(MAVEN_CENTRAL, SONATYPE_SNAPSHOTS_LEGACY);

scope(compile)
    .include(dependency("net.thauvin.erik:akismet-kotlin:1.0.0"));
```

### Gradle

To use with [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), include the following dependency in your [build](https://github.com/ethauvin/akismet-kotlin/blob/master/examples/gradle/build.gradle.kts) file:

```gradle
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("net.thauvin.erik:akismet-kotlin:1.0.0")
}
```

Instructions for using with Maven, Ivy, etc. can be found on [Maven Central](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/net.thauvin.erik/akismet-kotlin).

### HttpServletRequest

The more information is sent to Akismet, the more accurate the response is. An [HttpServletRequest](https://javaee.github.io/javaee-spec/javadocs/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html) can be used as a parameter so that all the relevant information is automatically included.

```kotlin
AkismetComment(request = context.getRequest())
```

This will ensure that the user's IP, agent, referrer and various environment variables are automatically extracted from the request.

### JSON

Since comments mis-identified as spam or ham can be submitted to Askimet to improve the service. A comment can be saved as a JSON object to be stored in a database, etc.

```kotlin
var json = comment.toJson()
```

At a latter time, the comment can then be submitted:

```kotlin
akismet.submitSpam(Akismet.jsonComment(json))
```

If all else fails, there's always more [Documentation](https://ethauvin.github.io/akismet-kotlin/).
