Google reCAPTCHA Node.js tutorial

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I can provide you with a general guideline on how to integrate Google reCAPTCHA with Node.js. Keep in mind that the details may have changed, so it's always a good idea to refer to the official documentation for the most up-to-date information.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how you might integrate Google reCAPTCHA with a Node.js application:

Get reCAPTCHA API Key:
- Visit the reCAPTCHA website and sign in with your Google account.
- Click on the "+" icon to create a new site.
- Choose the type of reCAPTCHA (v2 "I'm not a robot" Checkbox or v3) and fill in the required information.
- Accept the reCAPTCHA Terms of Service and click on the "Submit" button.
- After submission, you will be provided with the "Site Key" and "Secret Key." Keep these keys secure.

Set Up Node.js Project:

Create a new Node.js project if you haven't already:

                
                    mkdir your-project-name
                    cd your-project-name
                    npm init -y

Install Dependencies:

Install the necessary packages using npm:

                
                    npm install express body-parser axios

Create an Express Server:

Create a simple Express server in your index.js or app.js file:

                
                    const express = require('express');
                    const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
                    const axios = require('axios');
                    
                    const app = express();
                    const port = 3000;
                    
                    app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
                    app.use(express.static('public')); // Assuming your HTML file is in a 'public' directory
                    
                    app.get('/', (req, res) => {
                      res.sendFile(__dirname + '/public/index.html');
                    });
                    
                    app.post('/submit', async (req, res) => {
                      const { grecaptchaResponse } = req.body;
                    
                      // Verify reCAPTCHA token
                      const secretKey = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'; // Replace with your secret key
                      const verificationURL = `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=${secretKey}&response=${grecaptchaResponse}`;
                    
                      try {
                        const recaptchaResponse = await axios.post(verificationURL);
                        const { success } = recaptchaResponse.data;
                    
                        if (success) {
                          // Handle successful verification
                          res.send('Success!');
                        } else {
                          // Handle failed verification
                          res.send('Failed verification. Please try again.');
                        }
                      } catch (error) {
                        console.error('Error verifying reCAPTCHA:', error);
                        res.status(500).send('Internal Server Error');
                      }
                    });
                    
                    app.listen(port, () => {
                      console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:${port}`);
                    });

Create HTML Form:

Create an HTML file in the 'public' directory (or a directory specified in your server code) with a form that includes the reCAPTCHA widget:

                
                 <!-- public/index.html -->
                <!DOCTYPE html>
                <html lang="en">
                    <head>
                           <meta charset="UTF-8">
                           <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
                           <title>reCAPTCHA Example</title>
                           <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>
                    </head>
                    <body>
                         <h1>reCAPTCHA Example</h1>
                    <form action="/submit" method="post">
                        <!-- Your other form fields go here -->
                        <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></div>
                        <br>
                        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
                    </form>
                    </body>
                </html>

Replace YOUR_SECRET_KEY and YOUR_SITE_KEY with the actual keys you obtained from the reCAPTCHA website.

Run Your Application:

Start your Node.js application:

                
                    node index.js

Visit http://localhost:3000 in your web browser and test the reCAPTCHA integration.

This is a basic example, and you might need to adjust it based on the specific requirements of your application. Make sure to check the latest reCAPTCHA documentation for any updates or changes.
