Laravel Google ReCaptcha ? In this section, you will learn how to incorporate Google v2 Re Captcha form validation (security) into your Laravel application forms.

Today, we will incorporate Google Re Captcha into the Laravel application. We will create one form with Google Re Captcha and validate the form data with Laravel validations before storing it in the database.

In this Google Re captcha tutorial, we will go over all of the steps and then provide a live demo button. Click the live demo button to put this Laravel Google Recaptcha integration to the test.

Laravel Google V2 Re Captcha Form Validation

To learn more about Captcha validation in Laravel, go to Google. You can validate form data with Google v2 reCaptcha validation by following the steps below.

Table of Content

1. Download laravel Fresh Setup
2. Setup Database Credentials
3. Install Google Captcha Package
4. Get Google Captcha Secrets
5. Create Route
6. Generate Controller by Command
7. Create Blade View (form)
8. Run Development Server

Step 1: Download laravel Fresh Setup

We must first download new Laravel setups. To download the laravel fresh setup on your system, run the command below.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2: Setup Database Credentials

Following the successful download of the laravel application, Set up database credentials in your project's.env file before proceeding to the next step:

  DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
  DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
  DB_PORT=3306 
  DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
  DB_USERNAME=here database username here
  DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3: Install Google Captcha Package

In your Laravel 6 application, we'll now install the Google Captcha Package. Install this package in your Laravel application with the command below.

composer require anhskohbo/no-captcha

Open the config/app.php file and add service provider and alias after successfully installing Google Captcha Packages.

 
 config/app.php
 'providers' => [
   Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptchaServiceProvider::class
  ],
  'aliases' => [
    'NoCaptcha' => Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\Facades\NoCaptcha::class,
  ]  

Step 4: Get Google Captcha Secrets

Now I'll make a site key and a secret key for Google Recaptcha in order to use it in a Laravel application. You only need to put the.env file if you already have site key and secret key.

If you're not sure where we'll acquire secret key and secret site, use the link below and make your own secret credentials. Recaptcha is a new online registration system that uses a captcha system.

The form will appear like this when you click this link Recaptcha new site registration. Fill in all of the required information and submit the form.

After you submit the above form, you will be able to see your secret site and secret key. Here is where you should paste your credentials and your.env file.

After that, we'll set the Google captcha secret in.env files. To do so, open a.env file and enter the following credentials:

Step 5: Create Route

We'll now add two routes to the web.php file, as seen below. The first is to display the form, and the second is to save the data from the form into the database.

Open routes/web.php file

Route::get('captcha-form', 'CaptchaController@captchForm');
Route::post('store-captcha-form', 'CaptchaController@storeCaptchaForm');

Step 6: Generate Controller by Command

We'll need to make a new controller called CaptchaController to handle two methods. Let's make a Controller with the command below.

php artisan make:controller CaptchaController

Now navigate to => app/Http/Controllers/CaptchaController.php to access the controller. Create some methods for displaying data and storing it in a database now.

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Validator,Redirect,Response;
use App\User;
 
class CaptchaController extends Controller
{
    public function captchaForm()
    {
       return view('captchaform');
    }  
    public function storeCaptchaForm(Request $request)
    {
        request()->validate([
        'name' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required',
        'mobile_number' => 'required',
        'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha',
        ]);
 
        dd('successfully validate');
    }
}

Step 7: Create Blade View

Then, in the resources/views/ folder, create a captchaform.blade.php file and insert the following code in it.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
      <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

               <br>
               @endif
               <form id="captcha-form" method="post" action="{{url('store-captcha-form')}}">
                  @csrf
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <label for="formGroupExampleInput">Name</label>
                     <input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" id="formGroupExampleInput" placeholder="Please enter name">
                     <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</span>
                  </div>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <label for="email">Email Id</label>
                     <input type="text" name="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Please enter email id">
                     <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('email') }}</span>
                  </div>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <label for="mobile_number">Mobile Number</label>
                     <input type="text" name="mobile_number" class="form-control" id="mobile_number" placeholder="Please enter mobile number">
                     <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('mobile_number') }}</span>
                  </div>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <label for="captcha">Captcha</label>
                     {!! NoCaptcha::renderJs() !!}
                     {!! NoCaptcha::display() !!}
                     <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('g-recaptcha-response') }}</span>
                  </div>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
                  </div>
               </form>
            </div>
         </div>
      </div>
   </body>
</html>

Step 8: Run Development Server

The development server must be started. Start your server with the php artisan serve command:

 php artisan serve
 If you want to run the project diffrent port so use this below command 
 php artisan serve --port=8080  

Now that we're ready to run our example, type the following command to do so quickly.

http://localhost:8000/
Or direct hit in your browser
http://localhost/blog/public/captcha-form

We have successfully setup google Recaptcha credentials (secret site and secret key) in this laravel google ReCaptcha tutorial. Following that, we successfully integrated Google Recaptcha into a Laravel application.
