Integrating Google reCAPTCHA

To integrate Google reCAPTCHA in your project, you need to perform the following steps for both the API and frontend:

1-Set up reCAPTCHA API:

2-Install the necessary dependencies:

  • Install the react-google-recaptcha package for the frontend using npm or yarn.

3-Frontend Integration:

  • Import the required components from the installed package: ReCAPTCHA from "react-google-recaptcha".

  • Create a reference using useRef to access the reCAPTCHA component.

  • Set up the necessary states to manage the form data, validation, and reCAPTCHA token.

  • Render the reCAPTCHA component using the obtained Site Key from the API.

  • Implement event handlers to handle form submission and user actions (e.g., toggling password visibility).

  • Validate the form fields and display error messages if necessary.

  • Use the getValue() method of the reCAPTCHA reference to get the user's response and set the token state.

  • Pass the obtained token along with other form data to your API request.

4-Backend Integration:

  • Implement an API endpoint to receive the form data and reCAPTCHA token.

  • Verify the reCAPTCHA token using the reCAPTCHA Secret Key obtained in step 1.

  • If the token is valid, proceed with processing the form data. Otherwise, return an error.

  • Please note that the provided code is only the frontend part and assumes you have implemented the backend API separately.

  • Remember to replace the placeholder "REACT_APP_GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY" with the actual Site Key obtained from the Google reCAPTCHA website.

  • Make sure to handle the API request to postUser on your server-side code. You can find the integration example on your-platform-api and your-platform-fe
