Sure! Below is an example of how to implement a simple CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) in Laravel 7 using the popular package `greggilbert/recaptcha`.
```bash
composer require greggilbert/recaptcha
```
```dotenv
RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=your-recaptcha-site-key
RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=your-recaptcha-secret-key
```
Now, let's create a simple form with a CAPTCHA field. For this example, let's assume we want to protect the login page.
```html
```
Now, in your `LoginController`, which should be located at `app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php`, add the necessary validation for the CAPTCHA.
```php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Validator;
use Auth;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesUsers;
protected $redirectTo = '/home';
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
protected function validator(array $data)
{
'g-recaptcha-response' => ['required', 'recaptcha'],
]);
}
protected function credentials(Request $request)
{
return array_merge($request->only($this->username(), 'password'), [
'active' => 1, // Add any additional login conditions if required
]);
}
}
```
Ensure that the `web` middleware group is applied to the login routes in `routes/web.php`.
```php
```
That's it! Now, your Laravel 7 application should have a simple CAPTCHA implemented on the login page. The user will need to solve the CAPTCHA to log in successfully.
