Node-recaptcha-v3 NPM

node-recaptcha-v3

An open-source Node.js library to support verifying Google reCAPTCHA V3.

You can see an example here

Installation

You can install the package using npm:

npm install node-recaptcha-v3

Usage

To use the library, you need to create an instance of the ReCaptchaV3 class with your secret key. After that, you can use the verify middleware in your Express.js routes.

Example

import express from 'express';
import ReCaptchaV3 from 'node-recaptcha-v3';

const app = express();
const reCaptchaV3 = new ReCaptchaV3({ secretKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY' });

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/verify', reCaptchaV3.verify(0.5), (req, res) => {
    res.send({ score: req.reCaptchaV3Score });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

Creating and Sending Token

Install reCAPTCHA: Register your site at Google reCAPTCHA to obtain your site key.
Generate Token: Use the site key in your JavaScript to create a token when the user submits a form:

<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=YOUR_SITE_KEY"></script>
<script>
    grecaptcha.ready(function () {
        grecaptcha.execute('YOUR_SITE_KEY', { action: 'submit' }).then(function (token) {
            // Send the token to the server via body or header
            fetch('/verify', {
                method: 'POST',
                headers: {
                    'recaptcha-v3-token': token // or send in the body
                },
                body: JSON.stringify({ reCaptchaV3Token: token })
            });
        });
    });
</script>

Middleware of the Server

The middleware accepts the token via body or header:

Body: reCaptchaV3Token
Header: re-captcha-v3-token
