Recaptcha
A reCAPTCHA Validator for Laravel 4.
Installation
Add the following line to the require
section of composer.json
:
{
"require": {
"greggilbert/recaptcha": "dev-master"
}
}
Laravel 4 Setup
- Add
Greggilbert\Recaptcha\RecaptchaServiceProvider
to the service provider list inapp/config/app.php
. - Run
php artisan config:publish greggilbert/recaptcha
. - In
app/config/packages/greggilbert/recaptcha/config.php
, enter your reCAPTCHA public and private keys. - Add the following line into
app/lang/[lang]/validation.php
:
"recaptcha" => 'The :attribute field is not correct.',
Usage
- In your form, use
Form::captcha()
to echo out the markup. - In your validation rules, add the following:
$rules = array(
// ...
'recaptcha_response_field' => 'required|recaptcha',
};
It's also recommended to add required
when validating.
Customization
reCAPTCHA allows for customization of the widget through a number of options, listed at the official documentation. You can configure the output of the captcha in several ways.
In the config.php
, you can create an options
array to set the default behavior. For example:
// ...
'options' => array(
'theme' => 'white',
),
would default all the reCAPTCHAs to the white theme. If you want to further customize, you can pass options through the Form option:
echo Form::captcha(array('theme' => 'blackglass'));
Alternatively, if you want to set a default template instead of the standard one, you can use the config:
// ...
'template' => 'customCaptcha',
or you can pass it in through the Form option:
echo Form::captcha(array('template' => 'customCaptcha'));
Options passed into Form::captcha
will always supercede the configuration.
To change the language of the captcha, simply pass in a language as part of the options:
'options' => array(
'lang' => 'fr',
),
You can do this both in the config and through the Form::captcha()
call.
Limitation
Because of Google's way of displaying the recaptcha, this package won't work if you load your form from an ajax call. If you need to do it you should use that method provided by Google :
