  return (
    <BotGate>
      <div>Your content here</div>
    </BotGate>
  );
}

Vue Example

<template>
  <BotGate>
    <div>Your content here</div>
  </BotGate>
</template>

<script>
import { BotGate } from 'bot-gate';

export default {
  components: {
    BotGate,
  },
};

Svelte Example

</BotGate>

Components

React Component

The React component allows you to easily integrate bot detection into your application. Simply wrap your content in the BotGate component, and it will handle the rest.

Vue Component

For Vue users, the BotGate component provides the same functionality as in React. Just import and use it within your templates.

Svelte Component

The Svelte component is designed to fit seamlessly into your Svelte applications, providing a clean and efficient way to manage bot detection.

IP Validation

IP validation is a crucial part of ensuring that your application serves the right content to the right users. Bot Gate includes built-in functionality to validate IP addresses, which helps in filtering out unwanted bot traffic.

How It Works

• When a request is made, the component checks the IP address against a predefined list or a custom validation logic.
• If the IP is validated, the content is displayed.
• If not, you can choose to display alternative content or nothing at all.

Bot Detection

Bot detection is vital for maintaining the integrity of your web application. Bot Gate uses a set of heuristics to identify bot traffic.

Detection Methods

• User-Agent Analysis: Check the User-Agent string for known bots.
• Behavioral Patterns: Analyze request patterns that are typical of bots.
• IP Reputation: Utilize a list of known bot IPs for validation.
