## Requirements
|
|
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
* jQuery 1.7 or higher
|
|
|
20 |
* Bootstrap 2, 3 or 4
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
### Not using Bootstrap?
|
|
|
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
This plugin currently relies heavily on Bootstrap and it is not possible to
|
|
|
25 |
use it with another framework without making big changes in the code or
|
|
|
26 |
forgetting completely about the UI feedback.
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
Forks to use it with another frameworks that I know of:
|
|
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
* [Zurb Foundation fork by edtownend](https://github.com/edtownend/jquery.pwstrength.foundation)
|
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
## How to use it
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
Just invoke the plugin on the password fields you want to attach a strength
|
|
|
36 |
meter to. For example, to use it on all the password fields with the default
|
|
|
37 |
examples:
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
```javascript
|
|
|
40 |
$(':password').pwstrength();
|
|
|
41 |
```
|
|
|
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
To apply it only to one input and change the options:
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
```javascript
|
|
|
46 |
$('#passwd1').pwstrength({
|
|
|
47 |
ui: { showVerdictsInsideProgressBar: true }
|
|
|
48 |
});
|
|
|
49 |
```
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
## Options

Click here to find [the complete list of options for the plugin](OPTIONS.md).
|
|
|
54 |
|
|
|
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
## Methods
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
|
58 |
Once the plugin has been initialized, it is possible to interact with it
|
|
|
59 |
through the methods.
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
|
|
|
62 |
### Force an update
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
It is possible to force an update on a password strength meter. It will force
|
|
|
65 |
a new score calculation and an update of the UI elements, the `onKeyUp`
|
|
|
66 |
callback will be called.
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
```javascript
|
|
|
69 |
$("#passwdfield").pwstrength("forceUpdate");
|
|
|
70 |
```
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
### Remove the strength meter
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
This will remove the data associated to the meter, and the UI elements.
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
|
77 |
```javascript
|
|
|
78 |
$("#passwdfield").pwstrength("destroy");
|
|
|
79 |
```
|
|
|
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
|
82 |
### Adding Custom Rules
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
The plugin comes with the functionality to easily define your own custom rules.
|
|
|
85 |
The format is as follows:
|
|
|
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
```javascript
|
|
|
88 |
$("#passwdfield").pwstrength("addRule", "ruleName", function (options, word, score) {}, rule_score, rule_enabled);
|
|
|
89 |
```
|
|
|
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
Example:
|
|
|
92 |
|
|
|
93 |
```javascript
|
|
|
94 |
$("#passwdfield").pwstrength("addRule", "testRule", function (options, word, score) {
|
|
|
95 |
return word.match(/[a-z].[0-9]/) && score;
|
|
|
96 |
}, 10, true);
|
|
|
97 |
```
|
|
|
98 |
|
|
|
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
### Change the score associated to a rule
|
|
|
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
It is possible to change the score given by a rule. It works like this:
|
|
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
```javascript
|
|
|
105 |
$("#passwdfield").pwstrength("changeScore", "wordSequences", -100);
|
|
|
106 |
```
|
|
|
107 |
|
|
|
108 |
That would penalize even more the presence of sequences in the password.
|
|
|
109 |
|
|
|
110 |
|
|
|
111 |
### Activate and deactivate rules
|
|
|
112 |
|
|
|
113 |
It is also possible to activate or deactivate rules. It as simple as:
|
|
|
114 |
|
|
|
115 |
```javascript
|
|
|
116 |
$("#passwdfield").pwstrength("ruleActive", "wordSequences", false);
|
|
|
117 |
```
|
|
|
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
That would avoid looking for sequences in the password being tested.
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
|
|
|
122 |
## Callback Functions
|
|
|
123 |
|
|
|
124 |
The plugin provides two callback functions, onLoad and onKeyUp. You can use
|
|
|
125 |
them like this:
|
|
|
126 |
|
|
|
127 |
```javascript
|
|
|
128 |
$(document).ready(function () {
|
|
|
129 |
var options = {};
|
|
|
130 |
options.common = {
|
|
|
131 |
onLoad: function () {
|
|
|
132 |
$('#messages').text('Start typing password');
|
|
|
133 |
},
|
|
|
134 |
onKeyUp: function (evt, data) {
|
|
|
135 |
$("#length-help-text").text("Current length: " + $(evt.target).val().length + " and score: " + data.score);
|
|
|
136 |
}
|
|
|
137 |
};
|
|
|
138 |
$(':password').pwstrength(options);
|
|
|
139 |
});
|
|
|
140 |
```
|
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
|
|
|
143 |
## Extra security
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
The plugin comes with two validation rules deactivated by default. One checks
|
|
|
146 |
for too many character repetitions, and the other checks the number of
|
|
|
147 |
character classes used. An easy way to increase the security of the passwords
|
|
|
148 |
is to activate this two rules:
|
|
|
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
```javascript
|
|
|
151 |
$(document).ready(function () {
|
|
|
152 |
var options = {};
|
|
|
153 |
options.rules = {
|
|
|
154 |
activated: {
|
|
|
155 |
wordTwoCharacterClasses: true,
|
|
|
156 |
wordRepetitions: true
|
|
|
157 |
}
|
|
|
158 |
};
|
|
|
159 |
$(':password').pwstrength(options);
|
|
|
160 |
});
|
|
|
161 |
```
|
|
|
162 |
|
|
|
163 |
|
|
|
164 |
## Examples
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
There are some examples in the `examples` directory. Just serve them with any
|
|
|
167 |
webserver and check them in your browser. Make sure you serve the `examples`
|
|
|
168 |
directory as the site root. For example:
|
|
|
169 |
|
|
|
170 |
```bash
|
|
|
171 |
cd examples
|
|
|
172 |
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
|
|
|
173 |
```
|
|
|
174 |
|
|
|
175 |
And go to [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000).
|
|
|
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
Alternatively, you can check-out the examples in a [hosted demo](https://cdn.rawgit.com/ablanco/jquery.pwstrength.bootstrap/master/examples/index.html).
|
|
|
178 |
|
|
|
179 |
## Build and Test
|
|
|
180 |
|
|
|
181 |
The build and testing processes rely on [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). To use
|
|
|
182 |
them you need to have [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and grunt-cli installed on
|
|
|
183 |
your system. Assuming you have node.js in your Linux system, you'll need to do
|
|
|
184 |
something like this:
|
|
|
185 |
|
|
|
186 |
```bash
|
|
|
187 |
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
|
|
|
188 |
```
|
|
|
189 |
|
|
|
190 |
Now you have the grunt command line utility installed globally.
|
|
|
191 |
|
|
|
192 |
|
|
|
193 |
### Bundle and minified
|
|
|
194 |
|
|
|
195 |
To generate the bundle and the minified file you only need to execute this in
|
|
|
196 |
the project directory:
|
|
|
197 |
|
|
|
198 |
```bash
|
|
|
199 |
npm install -d
|
|
|
200 |
grunt
|
|
|
201 |
```
|
|
|
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
It will check the source files, and build a minified version with its
|
|
|
204 |
corresponding source map. The generated files will be available in the `dist`
|
|
|
205 |
directory.
|
|
|
206 |
|
|
|
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
### Testing
|
|
|
209 |
|
|
|
210 |
To run the tests the only thing you need to do is execute this in the project
|
|
|
211 |
directory:
|
|
|
212 |
|
|
|
213 |
```bash
|
|
|
214 |
npm install -d
|
|
|
215 |
grunt test
|
|
|
216 |
```
|
|
|
217 |
|
|
|
218 |
It will check all the source files with [JSLint](http://jslint.com) and run the
|
|
|
219 |
tests, which are written with [Jasmine](http://jasmine.github.io/). You'll find
|
|
|
220 |
the tests source code in the `spec` directory.
|
|
|
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
[Travis](https://travis-ci.org/ablanco/jquery.pwstrength.bootstrap) is being
|
|
|
223 |
used for continuos integration. You can check there if the tests are passing.
