• Using NPM npm install @hcaptcha/react-native-hcaptcha
• Using Yarn yarn add @hcaptcha/react-native-hcaptcha

2. Import package: import ConfirmHcaptcha from '@hcaptcha/react-native-hcaptcha';

Full examples for expo and react-native, as well as debugging guides, are in MAINTAINER.md

Demo

See live demo in Snack.

Usage

See Example.App.js example in repo for a fully worked example implementation.

For users familiar with the hCaptcha JS API, calling show() in this wrapper triggers an hcaptcha.execute() call.

This means that if you are an Enterprise user with a 99.9% passive or purely passive sitekey configured, no additional work is required to get the expected behavior: either a visual challenge will be shown or a token will be returned immediately via onMessage, in accordance with your configuration.

Also, please note the following special message strings that can be returned via onMessage:

Any other string returned by onMessage will be a passcode.

Handling the post-issuance expiration lifecycle

This extension is a lightweight wrapper, and does not currently attempt to manage post-verification state in the same way as the web JS API, e.g. with an on-expire callback.

In particular, if you do not plan to immediately consume the passcode returned by submitting it to your backend, you should start a timer to let your application state know that a new passcode is required when it expires.

By default, this value is 120 seconds. So, an expired error will be emitted to onMessage if you haven't called event.markUsed().

Once you've utilized hCaptcha's token, call markUsed on the event object in onMessage:

  onMessage = event => {
    if (event && event.nativeEvent.data) {
      if (['cancel'].includes(event.nativeEvent.data)) {
        this.captchaForm.hide();
      } else if (['error'].includes(event.nativeEvent.data)) {
        this.captchaForm.hide();
        // handle error
      } else {
        this.captchaForm.hide();
        const token = event.nativeEvent.data;
        // utlize token and call markUsed once you done with it
        event.markUsed();
      }
    }
  };
  ...
   (this.captchaForm = _ref)}
    siteKey={siteKey}
    languageCode="en"
    onMessage={this.onMessage}
  />

Handling errors and retry

If your app encounters an error event, you can reset the hCaptcha SDK flow by calling `event.reset()`` to perform another attempt at verification.

Dependencies

1. react-native-modal

2. react-native-webview

Building on iOS

Required frameworks/libraries

Your app must have the following frameworks/libraries linked:

• libswiftWebKit.tbd
• JavaScriptCore.framework

Flipper version

You must have a recent version of flipper to build this app. If you have upgraded React Native recently, your Flipper version may be out of date. This will cause compilation errors.

Your Podfile should be updated to something like:

  # Enables Flipper.
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable these next few lines.
  use_flipper!({ 'Flipper-Folly' => '2.5.3', 'Flipper' => '0.87.0', 'Flipper-RSocket' => '1.3.1' })
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end

If you encounter build-time errors related to Flipper.

Localization

Make sure the value you pass to languageCode is the one the user has set in your app if you allow them to override the system defaults.

Otherwise, you should pass in the preferred device locale, e.g. fetched from getLocales() if using react-native-localize.

Notes

• The UI defaults to the "invisible" mode of the JS SDK, i.e. no checkbox is displayed.
• You can import Hcaptcha from '@hcaptcha/react-native-hcaptcha/Hcaptcha'; to customize the UI yourself.
• hCaptcha loading is restricted to a 15-second timeout; an error will be sent via onMessage if it fails to load due to network issues.

Properties

Status

Fully functional, but additional releases will be made in the near term.

Changes within the same major release are expected to be additive, i.e. non-breaking.
