Google Invisible ReCaptcha components for React based application
Keep website performance high while prioritizing security.
Please read the documentation about Google reCAPTCHA on their official website before installation.
Obtain a siteKey
(your reCaptcha token) before using this library.
Key Features 🎯
- Prevent degrading PageSpeed Insights score with power of
injectionDelay
property. - Lazy
siteKey
in case it is provided by back-end API. - Lazy load reCaptcha assets for key points of your application. Function provided by
useSkipInjectionDelay
hook allows to ignoreinjectionDelay
- Clear versioning with help of Changeset.
- Highly tested code with Typescript and Jest.
- Confirmed Provenance by npm. It guarantees transparency in a library release process.

Components documentation
ReCaptchaProvider
react-grecaptcha-v3
provides a ReCaptchaProvider
provider component that should be used to wrap around your components.
ReCaptchaProvider
's responsibility is to load the necessary reCaptcha script and provide access to reCaptcha to the rest of your application.
Usually, your application only needs one provider. You should place it as high as possible in your React tree. It's to make sure you only have one instance of Google Recaptcha per page and it doesn't reload unecessarily when your components re-rendered.
Same thing applied when you use this library with a framework such as Next.js or React Router and only want to include the script on a single page. Try to make sure you only have one instance of the provider on a React tree and to place it as high (on the tree) as possible.
Property types for ReCaptchaProvider

siteKey: string | null;
useRecaptchaNet?: boolean = false;
enterprise?: boolean = false;
scriptProps?: = {
nonce?: string;

A short description for each property
| Property name | Description |
| :---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| siteKey | Your recaptcha key, get one from google recaptcha admin console. In case null
provided events still will be recorded. Those events will be sent when siteKey
provided. Also, google recaptcha script will not be loaded until siteKey
provided. This can be helpful in case you want take control of this process. For example, to reduce impact of recaptcha on your pagespeed score . |
| scriptProps | The injectedscript
tag can be customized with this prop. It allows you to add async
, defer
, nonce
attributes to the script tag. appendTo
attribute controls whether the injected script will be added to the document body or head with . |
| useRecaptchaNet | Load script fromrecaptcha.net
instead of Google domain. This can help to workaround ad blockers. https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq#can-i-use-recaptcha-globally |
| enterprise | Load script for Enterprise. Get an Enterprise key before using it. Read more |
| injectionDelay | In case you don't want to blow up yourPageInsights Score you can defer script loading by specifing threshold time. Events will be recorded and flushed at once on script load. Timeout should be specified in milliseconds. Plase note, that in case injectionDelay
changed timeout is reseted. |
React Hook: useGoogleReCaptcha
There is only one way to call Google reCaptcha. Hook useExecuteReCaptcha
.
The function returned by useGoogleReCaptcha
returns promise with resolved reCaptcha token result. This token is used to validate protection score on your server-side and decide whether user is bot or not.
Please note, in case your parent component tree not wrapped by ReCaptchaProvider
a console error will be shown and event will be ignored.
Use the hook as provided in the following example.
import { ReCaptchaProvider, useExecuteReCaptcha } from 'react-grecaptcha-v3'
const GoogleReCaptchaValidatorComponent = () => {
const executeRecaptcha = useExecuteReCaptcha()
// Create an event handler so you can call the verification on button click event or form submit
const handleReCaptchaVerify = useCallback(async () => {
const token = await executeRecaptcha('userAction')
// Do whatever you want with the token
}, [executeRecaptcha])
// You can use useEffect to trigger the verification as soon as the component being loaded
useEffect(() => {
handleReCaptchaVerify()
}, [handleReCaptchaVerify])
return <button onClick={handleReCaptchaVerify}>Verify recaptcha</button>
}
ReactDOM.render(
<ReCaptchaProvider siteKey="[Your recaptcha key]">
<GoogleReCaptchaValidatorComponent />
</ReCaptchaProvider>,
document.getElementById('app')
)
useSkipInjectionDelay
"I need my Google reCAPTCHA to be loaded now, regardless of the injectionDelay
property. What should I do?"
There is a way to ignore the injectionDelay
and load reCAPTCHA assets immediately. The useSkipInjectionDelay
hook returns a callback that accomplishes this. See the following usage example.
import { ReCaptchaProvider, useExecuteReCaptcha } from 'react-grecaptcha-v3'
const GoogleReCaptchaValidatorComponent = () => {
const forceRecaptchaLoad = useSkipInjectionDelay()
// Create an event handler so you can call the verification on button click event or form submit
const handleReCaptchaVerify = useCallback(async () => {
forceRecaptchaLoad() //Load google recaptcha NOW!
const token = await executeRecaptcha('someVeryImportantAction')
// Do whatever you want with the token
}, [executeRecaptcha])
// You can use useEffect to trigger the verification as soon as the component being loaded
useEffect(() => {
handleReCaptchaVerify()
}, [handleReCaptchaVerify])
return <button onClick={handleReCaptchaVerify}>Verify recaptcha</button>
}
ReactDOM.render(
<ReCaptchaProvider siteKey="[Your recaptcha key]">
<GoogleReCaptchaValidatorComponent />
</ReCaptchaProvider>,
document.getElementById('app')
)
In our example, we have shown an important action that requires a token as fast as possible. However, keep in mind that for invisible reCAPTCHA, such a case can be suspicious, leading to a worse score. It is better to prepare reCAPTCHA at an earlier stage.
For example, you can call useSkipInjectionDelay
with some action triggered by the user earlier, when you do not need a token immediately.
