as long as spam robots are still dumb, this should significantly reduce the risk of the email address being harvested. i bet you get 60% less spam. this method is user friendlier and way easier to implement than other tricks like javascript or images. because you really can click on the link and it opens in your mail program. | ||
## simple example | ||
by default, munge() encodes each char with a random encoding, either ascii or unicode, to make it more difficult for spammers. | ||

## jade integration | ||
good idea. you will want to protect your email address on your contact page. | ||
here how you can do it within express and jade. let's say in express you have a route for a contact page (routes/contact.js) like this: | ||
``` js | ||
var munge = require('munge'); | ||
exports.contact = function(req, res) { | ||
res.render('contact', | ||
{ | ||
emailContact: munge('spacemonkey@moon.com') | ||
} | ||
); | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
then you can show the munged email address in a jade template called contact.jade with the lines like this inbetween: | ||
``` js | ||
... | ||
p email: | ||
a(href!="mailto:#{emailContact}") !{emailContact} | ||
... | ||
``` | ||
make sure you use ! exactly like this as this won't escape the ampersand (&) into an html entity. see TJ's remark about escaped stuff at https://github.com/visionmedia/jade#code | ||
## todo | ||
* express/jade integration | ||
* implement a connect middleware to automagically munge any email addresses | ||
* have it a piped stream instead (for larger strings; not sure if it makes sense here) | ||
