django recapcha
- Install Django-recaptcha package: Begin by installing the Django-recaptcha package using pip. Open your command prompt or terminal and run the following command:
pip install django-recaptcha
- Add 'captcha' to installed apps: In your Django project's settings.py file, locate the
INSTALLED_APPS
list and add'captcha'
to the list. It should look like this:
python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'captcha',
...
]
Generate reCAPTCHA keys: Visit the reCAPTCHA website and sign in with your Google account. Once signed in, navigate to the reCAPTCHA admin console and register a new site. You will need to provide a label for your site and choose the reCAPTCHA type (v2 Checkbox or v2 Invisible).
Add reCAPTCHA keys to settings.py: In your Django project's settings.py file, locate the
RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY
andRECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY
variables. Set their values to the corresponding keys generated in the previous step. It should look like this:
python
RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY = 'your_public_key'
RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY = 'your_private_key'
- Include reCAPTCHA in your forms: In the form where you want to include the reCAPTCHA, import the
ReCaptchaField
from thecaptcha.fields
module. You can then add theReCaptchaField
to your form's fields. Here's an example:
```python from captcha.fields import ReCaptchaField
class MyForm(forms.Form): ... captcha = ReCaptchaField() ... ```
- Display reCAPTCHA in your template: In your template file, use the
captcha
template tag to render the reCAPTCHA field. Here's an example:
```html
```
Note that form
is the instance of your form passed to the template.
- Verify reCAPTCHA response: In your Django view, you need to validate the reCAPTCHA response. You can use the
is_valid()
method of your form to check if the reCAPTCHA is valid. Here's an example:
python
def my_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# reCAPTCHA is valid
# Process form data
...
else:
form = MyForm()
return render(request, 'my_template.html', {'form': form})
And that's it! You have successfully implemented reCAPTCHA using Django-recaptcha in your Django project.
