Download the PHP package smkbd/recaptcha-checkbox without Composer

Google reCAPTCHA v2 Checkbox

This package allows you implement Google reCAPTCHA v2 Checkbox in any form without any hassle.

Version Support

Installation

composer require smkbd/recaptcha-checkbox

Configuration

Add the following environment values in your .env file

RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=recaptcha_site_key_here
RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=recaptcha_secret_key_here

You can obtain these keys from Google reCAPTCHA Admin

Usage

To enable reCAPTCHA in a form, you need to make two changes, one in the <form> and one in the controller method which accepts the form request.

Form

Include the blade directive @recaptcha where you want the checkbox to appear.

Controller

In the controller, all you need is to use \Smkbd\RecaptchaCheckbox\RecaptchaRequest $request instead of \Illuminate\Http\Client\Request $request as the method argument.

For example, in routes/web.php

Route::post('/comments', [\App\Http\Controllers\CommentController::class, 'store'])->name('comments.store');

In app/Http/Controllers/CommentController.php

use Smkbd\RecaptchaCheckbox\RecaptchaRequest;

class CommentController extends Controller{
    ...

    public function store(RecaptchaRequest $request){

        // Your logic here

    }

    ...
}

You can appply your own validation inside the controller as you usually do. But RecaptchaRequest will first validate the request if it comes with a valid captcha fulfillment.

Translation

To translate the messages for captcha, you need to publish the vendor files first.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=recaptcha

This will publish the translation files in resources/lang/vendor/recaptcha directory.
