Usage

All you need to do is [sign up for an API key pair][signup]. You will need the client key.

You can then use the reCAPTCHA. The default require imports a wrapped component that loads the reCAPTCHA script asynchronously.

var React = require("react").default;
var render = require("react-dom").render
var ReCAPTCHA = require("react-google-recaptcha");

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

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

Rendering Props

Other properties can be used to customise the rendering.

Name Type Description
sitekey string The API client key
onChange func The function to be called when the user successfully completes the captcha
theme enum optional light or dark The theme of the widget (defaults: light). See [example][docs_theme]
type enum optional image or audio The type of initial captcha (defaults: image)
tabindex number optional The tabindex on the element (default: 0)
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.
stoken string optional set the stoken parameter, which allows the captcha to be used from different domains, see [reCAPTCHA secure-token]
size enum optional compact, normal or invisible. This allows you to change the size or do an invisible captcha
badge enum optional bottomright, bottomleft or inline. Positions reCAPTCHA badge. Only for invisible reCAPTCHA

lang: In order to translate the reCaptcha widget, you should create a global variable configuring the desired language. If you don't provide it, reCaptcha will pick up the user's interface language.

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

removeOnMount: If you plan to change the lang dynamically, removeOnMount should probably be true. This will allow you to unmount the reCAPTCHA component and remount it with a new language.

window.recaptchaOptions = {
  lang: 'fr',
  useRecaptchaNet: true,
  removeOnMount: false,
};

Component API

The component also has some utility functions that can be called.

  • getValue() returns the value of the captcha field
  • reset() forces reset. See the [JavaScript API doc][js_api]

Invisible reCAPTCHA

Invisible reCAPTCHA

Starting with 0.7.0, the component now supports invisible options. 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.

var React = require("react").default;
var render = require("react-dom").render
var ReCAPTCHA = require("react-google-recaptcha");

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

let captcha;

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

Advanced usage

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.

var React = require("react").default;
var render = require("react-dom").render
var ReCAPTCHA = require("react-google-recaptcha/lib/recaptcha");

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

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

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