Why Use ALTCHA in React?
Using ALTCHA with React offers multiple advantages:
- Privacy-first: No cookies or user tracking
- Regulation compliant: Fully GDPR and CCPA compliant
- Accessible: Works for all users, including those using assistive technologies
- Lightweight: Minimal performance impact on your React app
Integrating ALTCHA ensures your forms and user interactions are protected from automated abuse without compromising user experience.
Installation
Install ALTCHA via npm:
npm install altchaOr with yarn:
yarn add altchaBasic Integration in React
- Import ALTCHA in your React component:
import 'altcha';- Add the ALTCHA WebComponent to your form:
function ContactForm() { const handleSubmit = (event) => { event.preventDefault(); // handle form submission };
return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your Name" required /> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email" required />
{/* ALTCHA WebComponent */} <altcha-widget challenge="https://your-challenge-url"></altcha-widget>
<button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> );}- Server Integration
ALTCHA requires a backend component to ensure secure operation. The server is responsible for both issuing challenges and validating solutions.
For implementation details, including using ALTCHA Sentinel, see Server Integration.
- a. Challenge Generation
Your backend must expose an endpoint that generates a new ALTCHA challenge. This endpoint is used by the widget via the challenge attribute.
- The endpoint should return a valid ALTCHA challenge payload
- It must be accessible by the client application
- It should use a secure secret key stored on the server
- b. Challenge Verification
When the form is submitted, your backend must verify the ALTCHA solution before processing any user input.
- Extract the ALTCHA payload from the request
- Validate it using your server-side integration
- Reject the request if verification fails
- c. Key Requirements
- Never expose your secret key in client-side code
- Always perform verification server-side
- Ensure both challenge generation and verification use the same secret
Best Practices
- Place the captcha before the submit button for better UX
- Always verify requests server-side before processing data
- Customize the widget to match your app’s design
- Handle errors gracefully to avoid frustrating users
