Custom Captcha Driver

Laravel Captcha facilitates the extension of its functionality to incorporate a custom captcha driver. Should you find the built-in drivers don't align with your requirements, or if you wish to incorporate an alternate captcha service, it's possible to do so by extending Laravel Captcha with your own custom driver.

For this purpose, Laravel Captcha provides the extend method, which allows the definition of a custom driver. The implementation should be within the boot method of AppServiceProvider.php file.

Creating a Custom Driver

Here's an example of how to create a custom driver:

use Rahul900day\Captcha\Facades\Captcha;
use App\Captcha\CustomCaptchaDriver;

Captcha::extend('custom-driver', function($app) {
    return new CustomCaptchaDriver($app);
});

In this example, CustomCaptchaDriver signifies the custom driver class. It's crucial to note that this custom driver must implement the Rahul900day\Captcha\Contracts\Captcha interface.

The Captcha Contract

Your custom captcha driver is required to implement the Rahul900day\Captcha\Contracts\Captcha interface. Providing implementation for every method defined in this contract is vital, ensuring a consistent behavior with the usage of Laravel Captcha.

Here's a possible configuration of your CustomCaptchaDriver class:

use Rahul900day\Captcha\Contracts\Captcha;

class CustomCaptchaDriver implements Captcha
{
    // Implement all required methods here.
}
