Golang Fiber reCAPTCHA middleware

Golang reCAPTCHA middleware for Fiber. This package takes care of getting the g-recaptcha-response field from the sent form (or other request) data and validating the reCAPTCHA using Google's API.

This package should support at least these types of reCAPTCHA:

• reCAPTCHA V2, "I'm not a robot" Checkbox
• reCAPTCHA V2, Invisible reCAPTCHA badge

Installation

You can add this package to your code by two simple steps, which are:

1. get the package by go get github.com/jansvabik/fiber-recaptcha
2. import the package manually by importing github.com/jansvabik/fiber-recaptcha or by calling the exported Middleware(c *fiber.Ctx) error function from inside of the package

Usage

To use the middleware within your web server, you should add the Middleware function to the queue of functions in your Fiber router, like in this example:

// pass your secret key to the package
recaptcha.SecretKey = "place-your-recaptcha-secret-key-here"

// create new fiber router
router := fiber.New()

// create an endpoint with the recaptcha middleware
router.Post("/endpoint", recaptcha.Middleware, endpoint.YourHandler)

When there is a request to this endpoint, for first it will go through this reCAPTCHA middleware which sends a request to the Google API and validates the whole request to be sent by human or by robot (depending to the Google response). Then, it sets up a local variable recaptchaSuccess with boolean value which you can access and use in an if statement.

// test the recaptcha success in your endpoint handler
if c.Locals("recaptchaSuccess") == false {
    // code to do if the validation fails
}

// do other job if the validation succeeds

There are only two possible values which can appear in the local variable:

• boolean true if the validation succeeds
• boolean false if the validation fails
