Installation

$ npm i @nestlab/google-recaptcha

Configuration

@Module({
    imports: [
        GoogleRecaptchaModule.forRoot({
            secretKey: process.env.GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY,
            response: req => req.headers.recaptcha,
            skipIf: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
            useRecaptchaNet: false,
            agent: null
        })
    ],
})
export class AppModule {
}

Configuration options

Property	Type	Description
secretKey	string	Required. Google recaptcha secret key
response	(request) => string	Required. Function that returns response (recaptcha token) by request
skipIf	boolean | (request) => boolean | Promise<boolean>	Optional. Function that returns true if you allow the request to skip the recaptcha verification. Useful for involing other check methods (e.g. custom privileged API key) or for development or testing
useRecaptchaNet	boolean	Optional. If your server has trouble connecting to https://www.google.com. You can use https://recaptcha.net instead, just set true
agent	https.Agent	Optional. If you need to use an agent

If you want import configs from your ConfigService via custom getter function that will return GoogleRecaptchaModuleOptions object.

@Module({
    imports: [
        GoogleRecaptchaModule.forRootAsync({
            imports: [ConfigModule],
            useFactory: (configService: ConfigService) => configService.googleRecaptchaOptions,
            inject: [ConfigService],
        })
    ],
})
export class AppModule {
}

Usage

Use @Recaptcha decorator to protect your endpoints.

@Controller('feedback')
export class FeedbackController {
    @Recaptcha()
    @Post('send')
    async send(): Promise<any> {
        // TODO: Your implementation.
    }
}

You can override default property that contain recaptcha for specific endpoint.

@Controller('feedback')
export class FeedbackController {
    @Recaptcha(req => req.body.recaptha)
    @Post('send')
    async send(): Promise<any> {
        // TODO: Your implementation.
    }
}

If you want use google recaptcha guard in combination with another guards then you can use @UseGuards decorator.

@Controller('feedback')
export class FeedbackController {
    @UseGuards(Guard1, GoogleRecaptchaGuard, Guard2)
    @Post('send')
    async send(): Promise<any> {
        // TODO: Your implementation.
    }
}

Error handling

Google recaptcha guard will throw GoogleRecaptchaException on error.

GoogleRecaptchaException has data with google recaptcha error codes.

GoogleRecaptchaException ← HttpException ← Error.

You can handle it via ExceptionFilter.

Example exception filter implementation.

@Catch(GoogleRecaptchaException)
export class GoogleRecaptchaFilter implements ExceptionFilter {
    catch(exception: GoogleRecaptchaException, host: ArgumentsHost): any {
        // TODO: Your exception filter implementation
    }
}

And add your filter to application

async function bootstrap() {
    const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
    app.useGlobalFilters(new ErrorFilter(), new GoogleRecaptchaFilter());
    await app.listen(3000);
}
bootstrap();

Enjoy!
