# or
$ yarn add react-google-recaptcha-ultimate

V3

Google ReCaptcha v3 returns a score for each request without user friction. The score is based on interactions with your site and enables you to take an appropriate action for your site.

import { GoogleReCaptchaProvider } from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider
    type="v3"
    siteKey="Your recaptcha sitekey"
  >
    <App />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

V2 invisible

Google ReCaptcha v2 invisible does not require users to solve any puzzles or enter any codes. Instead, it runs in the background and analyzes user behavior on the web page to determine if they are genuine users or potential bots.

import { GoogleReCaptchaProvider } from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider
    type="v2-invisible"
    siteKey="Your recaptcha key"
  >
    <App />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

V2 checkbox

When a user interacts with the Google ReCaptcha v2 checkbox, advanced algorithms analyze their behavior to distinguish between humans and bots. If the system suspects suspicious activity, additional challenges may be presented, such as image selections or puzzle-solving tasks.

import { GoogleReCaptchaProvider, GoogleReCaptchaCheckbox } from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider
    type="v2-checkbox"
    siteKey="Your recaptcha key"
  >
    <GoogleReCaptchaCheckbox
      onChange={(token) => {
        console.log(token);
      }}
    />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

Checkbox component

Enterprise

Google ReCaptcha Enterprise is built on the existing reCAPTCHA API and it uses advanced risk analysis techniques to distinguish between humans and bots. In order to enable enterprise mode, you need to set the flag isEnterprise in GoogleReCaptchaProvider. Also in this mode you can pass specials actions.

Examples

v2 checkbox

import { GoogleReCaptchaProvider, GoogleReCaptchaCheckbox } from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider
    type="v2-checkbox"
    siteKey="Your recaptcha key"
    isEnterprise
  >
    <GoogleReCaptchaCheckbox
      action="Your action name"
      onChange={(token: string) => {
          console.log(token);
      }}
    />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

v3 or v2 invisible

import { GoogleReCaptchaProvider } from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider
    type="Your type of recaptcha"
    siteKey="Your recaptcha key"
    isEnterprise
  >
    <App />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

API

GoogleReCaptchaProvider

react-google-recaptcha-ultimate provides a GoogleReCaptchaProvider provider component that should be used to wrap around your components.

GoogleReCaptchaProvider‘s responsibility is to load the necessary reCaptcha script and provide access to reCaptcha to the rest of your application.

Usually, your application only needs one provider. You should place it as high as possible in your React tree. It’s to make sure you only have one instance of Google Recaptcha per page, and it doesn’t reload unnecessarily when your components re-rendered.

Same thing applied when you use this library with framework such as Next.js or React Router and only want to include the script on a single page. Try to make sure you only have one instance of the provider on a React tree and to place it as high (on the tree) as possible.

GoogleReCaptchaProvider for v3 and v2-invisible

All the props that can be passed in provider for v2-invisible and v3:

GoogleReCaptchaProvider for v2-checkbox

All the props that can be passed in provider for v2-checkbox. We also recommend using the checkbox component rather than explicitly loading the recaptcha checkbox.

Checkbox component

useGoogleReCaptcha hook

If you prefer a React Hook approach, you can choose to use the custom hook useGoogleReCaptcha. We recommend using this hook for v2 invisible and v3 to trigger recaptcha execution.

The executeV3 and executeV2Invisible function returned from the hook can be undefined when the recaptcha script has not been successfully loaded.

import { GoogleReCaptchaProvider, useGoogleReCaptcha } from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const App = () => {
  const { executeV3 } = useGoogleReCaptcha();

  // Create an event handler so you can call the verification on button click event or form submit
  const handleReCaptchaVerify = useCallback(async () => {
    if (!executeV3) {
      console.log('Execute recaptcha not available');
      return;
    }

    const token = await executeV3();
  }, [executeV3]);

  // You can use useEffect to trigger the verification as soon as the component being loaded
  useEffect(() => {
    handleReCaptchaVerify();
  }, [handleReCaptchaVerify]);

  return <button onClick={handleReCaptchaVerify}>verify</button>;
};

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider siteKey="Your recaptcha key">
    <App />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

withGoogleReCaptcha HOC

withGoogleReCaptcha is a HOC (higher order component) that can be used to integrate reCaptcha validation with your component and trigger the validation programmatically. It injects the wrapped component with googleReCaptcha object.

The object contains the executeV3 and executeV2Invisible function that can be called to validate the user action.

You are recommended to use the custom hook useGoogleReCaptcha over the HOC whenever you can. The HOC can be removed in future version.

import {
  GoogleReCaptchaProvider,
  withGoogleReCaptcha,
  WithGoogleReCaptchaParams
} from 'react-google-recaptcha-ultimate';

const App = (props) => {
    // Create an event handler so you can call the verification on button click event or form submit
    const handleReCaptchaVerify = useCallback(async () => {
        if (!props.executeV3) {
            console.log('Execute recaptcha not available');
            return;
        }

        const token = await props.executeV3();
    }, [props.executeV3]);

    // You can use useEffect to trigger the verification as soon as the component being loaded
    useEffect(() => {
        handleReCaptchaVerify();
    }, [handleReCaptchaVerify]);

    return <button onClick={handleReCaptchaVerify}>verify</button>;
};

export const WithGoogleRecaptchaApp = withGoogleReCaptcha(App);

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement);
root.render(
  <GoogleReCaptchaProvider siteKey="Your recaptcha key">
    <WithGoogleRecaptchaApp />
  </GoogleReCaptchaProvider>
);

generateGoogleReCaptchaHiddenBadgeStyles
