This integration app implements a recaptcha field for Google reCaptcha v3.
Warning: this package is not compatible with django-recaptcha2
Install the required package from pip (or take the source and install it by yourself):
pip install django-recaptcha3
Then add django-recaptcha3 to your installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'snowpenguin.django.recaptcha3',
...
)
And add your reCaptcha private and public key to your django settings.py and the default action name, recaptcha score threshold:
RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = 'your private key'
RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = 'your public key'
RECAPTCHA_DEFAULT_ACTION = 'generic'
RECAPTCHA_SCORE_THRESHOLD = 0.5
RECAPTCHA_LANGUAGE = 'en' # for auto detection language, remove this from your settings
# If you require reCaptcha to be loaded from somewhere other than https://google.com
# (e.g. to bypass firewall restrictions), you can specify what proxy to use.
# RECAPTCHA_FRONTEND_PROXY_HOST = 'https://recaptcha.net'
If you have to create the apikey for the domains managed by your django project, you can visit this website.
You can simply create a reCaptcha enabled form with the field provided by this app:
from snowpenguin.django.recaptcha3.fields import ReCaptchaField
class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
[...]
captcha = ReCaptchaField()
[...]
Form validation of the ReCaptchaField causes us to verify the token returned from the client against the ReCaptcha servers and populates a dictionary containing the score
, action
, hostname
, and challenge_ts
fields as the form fields cleaned_data
:
def formview(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = ExampleForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
captcha_score = form.cleaned_data['captcha'].get('score')
If a communication problem occurs, the token supplied by the client is invalid or has expired then a ValidationError is raised.
If you want low scores to cause a ValidationError, pass an appropriate score_threshold
to the ReCaptchaField
, or set the configuration variable settings.RECAPTCHA_SCORE_THRESHOLD.
The default value for the threshold is 0.0, which allows all successful capture responses through for you to later check the value of score
.
from snowpenguin.django.recaptcha3.fields import ReCaptchaField
class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
[...]
captcha = ReCaptchaField(score_threshold=0.5)
[...]
You can also set the private key on the "private_key" argument of the ReCaptchaField contructor if you want to override the one inside your configuration.
You can use some template tags to simplify the reCaptcha adoption:
- recaptcha_init: add the script tag for reCaptcha api. You have to put this tag somewhere in your "head" element
- recaptcha_ready: call the execute function when the api script is loaded
- recaptcha_execute: start the reCaptcha check and set the token from the api in your django forms. Token is valid for 120s, after this time it is automatically regenerated.
- recaptcha_key: if you want to use reCaptcha manually in your template, you will need the sitekey (a.k.a. public api key). This tag returns a string with the configured public key.
You can use the form as usual.
Just create a form with the reCaptcha field and follow this template example:
{% load recaptcha3 %}
<html>
<head>
{% recaptcha_init %}
{% recaptcha_ready action_name='homepage' %}
</head>
<body>
<form action="?" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The callback can be used to allow to use the token received from the api in ajax calls or whatever
{% load recaptcha3 %}
<html>
<head>
<script>
function alertToken(token) {
alert(token);
}
</script>
{% recaptcha_init %}
{% recaptcha_ready action_name='homepage' custom_callback='alertToken' %}
</head>
<body>
<form action="?" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
You can render multiple reCaptcha without any extra effort:
{% load recaptcha3 %}
<html>
<head>
{% recaptcha_init %}
{% recaptcha_ready action_name='homepage' %}
</head>
<body>
<form action="?" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form1 }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<form action="?" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form2 }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
You can use the plain javascript, just remember to set the correct value for the hidden field in the form
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=reCAPTCHA_site_key"></script>
<script>
grecaptcha.ready(function() {
var grecaptcha_execute = function(){
grecaptcha.execute('reCAPTCHA_site_key', {action: 'homepage'}).then(function(token) {
document.querySelectorAll('input.django-recaptcha-hidden-field').forEach(function (value) {
value.value = token;
});
return token;
})
};
grecaptcha_execute()
setInterval(grecaptcha_execute, 120000);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="?" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
You can disable recaptcha field validation in unit tests by setting the RECAPTCHA_DISABLE env variable. This will skip the external call to Recaptca servers, returning a valid field with no data.
os.environ['RECAPTCHA_DISABLE'] = 'True'
You can use any word in place of "True", the clean function will check only if the variable exists.
If you set RECAPTCHA_DISABLE
to be valid json, it will be interpreted as a mock captcha server response allowing you to mock score/hostname/action as required:
os.environ['RECAPTCHA_DISABLE'] = json.dumps({'score': 0.4, 'hostname': 'localhost', 'action': 'homepage'})
import os
import unittest
from yourpackage.forms import MyForm
class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
os.environ['RECAPTCHA_DISABLE'] = 'True'
def test_myform(self):
form = MyForm({
'field1': 'field1_value'
})
self.assertTrue(form.is_valid())
def tearDown(self):
del os.environ['RECAPTCHA_DISABLE']
