react-google-recaptcha-quick

React component for Google reCAPTCHA v2.

EN: This module is my view of the "react-google-recaptcha" module. The difference is as follows:

  • when changing the language in props, the component is re-rendered;
  • the Invisible recaptcha icon does not disappear upon successful login;
  • there is no memory leak error when unmounting a component. The component will not be deleted before the response arrives.

Ru: Этот модуль - моё представление модуля "react-google-recaptcha". Отличие в следующем:

  • при смене языка в пропсах компонента перерендывается;
  • значёк Invisible рекаптчи не исчезает при успешном входе;
  • при размонтировании компоненты нету ошибки утечки памяти. Компонента не удалится прежде чем прийдет ответ.

Installation

npm install --save react-google-recaptcha-quick

Usage

All you need to do is sign up for an API key pair. You will need the client key then you can use <ReCAPTCHA />.

The default usage imports a wrapped component that loads the google recaptcha script asynchronously then instantiates a reCAPTCHA the user can then interact with.

Code Example:

import ReCAPTCHA from "react-google-recaptcha";

function onChange(value) {
  console.log("Captcha value:", value);
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <ReCAPTCHA
    sitekey="Your client site key"
    onChange={onChange}
  />,
  document.body
);

Component Props

Properties used to customise the rendering:

Name Type Description
asyncScriptOnLoad func optional callback when the google recaptcha script has been loaded
badge enum optional bottomright, bottomleft or inline. Positions reCAPTCHA badge. Only for invisible reCAPTCHA
hl string optional set the hl parameter, which allows the captcha to be used from different languages, see reCAPTCHA hl
isolated bool optional For plugin owners to not interfere with existing reCAPTCHA installations on a page. If true, this reCAPTCHA instance will be part of a separate ID space. (default: false)
onChange func The function to be called when the user successfully completes the captcha
onErrored func optional callback when the challenge errored, most likely due to network issues.
onExpired func optional callback when the challenge is expired and has to be redone by user. By default it will call the onChange with null to signify expired callback.
sitekey string The API client key
size enum optional compact, normal or invisible. This allows you to change the size or do an invisible captcha
stoken string optional set the stoken parameter, which allows the captcha to be used from different domains, see reCAPTCHA secure-token
tabindex number optional The tabindex on the element (default: 0)
type enum optional image or audio The type of initial captcha (defaults: image)
theme enum optional light or dark The theme of the widget (defaults: light). See example
timeWaitingResponseFromGoogle number optional waiting time for a response from Google when the component is unmounted (defaults: 90000 - 1min 30 sec).

Component Instance API

The component instance also has some utility functions that can be called. These can be accessed via ref.

  • getValue() returns the value of the captcha field
  • getWidgetId() returns the recaptcha widget Id
  • reset() forces reset. See the JavaScript API doc
  • execute() programmatically invoke the challenge
  • executeAsync() programmatically invoke the challenge and return a promise that resolves to the token or errors(if encountered).
    • alternative approach to execute() in combination with the onChange() prop - example below

Example:

const recaptchaRef = React.createRef();
...
onSubmit = () => {
  const recaptchaValue = recaptchaRef.current.getValue();
  this.props.onSubmit(recaptchaValue);
}
render() {
  return (
    <form onSubmit={this.onSubmit} >
      <ReCAPTCHA
        ref={recaptchaRef}
        sitekey="Your client site key"
        onChange={onChange}
      />
    </form>
  )
}

Invisible reCAPTCHA

See the reCAPTCHA documentation to see how to configure it.

With the invisible option, you need to handle things a bit differently. You will need to call the execute method yourself.

import ReCAPTCHA from "react-google-recaptcha";

const recaptchaRef = React.createRef();

ReactDOM.render(
  <form onSubmit={() => { recaptchaRef.current.execute(); }}>
    <ReCAPTCHA
      ref={recaptchaRef}
      size="invisible"
      sitekey="Your client site key"
      onChange={onChange}
    />
  </form>,
  document.body
);

Additionally, you can use the executeAsync method to use a promise based approach.

import ReCAPTCHA from "react-google-recaptcha";


const ReCAPTCHAForm = (props) => {
  const recaptchaRef = React.useRef();

  const onSubmitWithReCAPTCHA = async () => {
    const token = await recaptchaRef.current.executeAsync();

    // apply to form data
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmitWithReCAPTCHA}>
      <ReCAPTCHA
        ref={recaptchaRef}
        size="invisible"
        sitekey="Your client site key"
      />
    </form>
  )

}

ReactDOM.render(
  <ReCAPTCHAForm />,
  document.body
);

Advanced usage

Global properties used by reCaptcha

useRecaptchaNet: If google.com is blocked, you can set useRecaptchaNet to true so that the component uses recaptcha.net instead.

Example global properties:

window.recaptchaOptions = {
  useRecaptchaNet: true,
};

ReCaptcha loading google recaptcha script manually

You can also use the barebone components doing the following. Using that component will oblige you to manage the grecaptcha dep and load the script by yourself.

import { ReCAPTCHA } from "react-google-recaptcha";

const grecaptchaObject = window.grecaptcha // You must provide access to the google grecaptcha object.

render(
  <ReCAPTCHA
    ref={(r) => this.recaptcha = r}
    sitekey="Your client site key"
    grecaptcha={grecaptchaObject}
  />,
  document.body
);

Migrate to 2.0

  • options.removeOnUnmount: REMOVED This was only useful for the lang changes. Lang is now changed through the hl prop.
  • options.lang: REMOVED Instead pass it as the hl prop on the component.

Notes on Requirements

At least React@16.4.1 is required due to forwardRef usage in the dependency react-async-script.

Notes

Pre 1.0.0 and React < 16.4.1 support details in 0.14.0.
