Middleware to use [google/recaptcha](https://github.com/google/recaptcha) library for spam prevention. Returns a `403` response if the request is not valid. More info about [Google reCAPTCHA](https://www.google.com/recaptcha).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.2
- A [PSR-7 http library](https://github.com/middlewares/awesome-psr15-middlewares#psr-7-implementations)
- A [PSR-15 middleware dispatcher](https://github.com/middlewares/awesome-psr15-middlewares#dispatcher)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package is installable and autoloadable via Composer as [middlewares/recaptcha](https://packagist.org/packages/middlewares/recaptcha).

```
composer require middlewares/recaptcha
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
$dispatcher = new Dispatcher([
    new Middlewares\Recaptcha($secretKey),

    //in your view
    function () {
        echo '';
        echo '';
    }
]);

$response = $dispatcher->dispatch(new ServerRequest());
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You need a secret API key for your app. You can register it at

```
$secretKey = 'Your-Secret-Key';

$recaptcha = new Middlewares\Recaptcha($secretKey);
```

Optionally, you can provide a `Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface` as the second argument to create the error responses (`403`). If it's not defined, [Middleware\\Utils\\Factory](https://github.com/middlewares/utils#factory) will be used to detect it automatically.

```
$responseFactory = new MyOwnResponseFactory();

$recaptcha = new Middlewares\Recaptcha($secretKey, $responseFactory);
```

### ipAttribute

[](#ipattribute)

By default uses the `REMOTE_ADDR` server parameter to get the client ip. This option allows to use a request attribute. Useful to combine with a ip detection middleware, for example [client-ip](https://github.com/middlewares/client-ip):

```
$dispatcher = new Dispatcher([
    //detect the client ip and save it in "ip" attribute
    (new Middlewares\ClientIP())->attribute('ip'),

    //use that attribute
    (new Middlewares\Recaptcha($secretKey))->ipAttribute('ip')
]);
```
