Laravel recaptcha validation in registrar does not work

Question

I am newbie in Laravel. I've used this recaptcha package: https://github.com/greggilbert/recaptcha And the documentation saids that: In your validation rules, add the following:

$rules = array(
        // ...
        'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|recaptcha',
    };

By the way I use the laravel 5's Registrar:

<?php namespace taxman\Services;

use taxman\User;
use Validator;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Registrar as RegistrarContract;

class Registrar implements RegistrarContract {

    /**
     * Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
     */
    public function validator(array $data)
    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'name' => 'required|max:255',
            'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:4',
            'telephone' => 'required',
            'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|recaptcha',
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return User
     */
    public function create(array $data)
    {
        return User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
        ]);
    }

}

But in this case the laravel return with a error message: "The g-recaptcha-response is required", however in the view I used this command:

<div class="form-group">
         {!! Recaptcha::render() !!}
 </div>

And yes, the field is not empty!

So, I think, I should put the 'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|recaptcha' somewhere else? Because it seems, in the Registrar's validator does not work.

Answer 1

if someone is still pulling their hair because of this issue just remove the 'recaptcha' in validation rule.

use

'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required'

instead of

'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|recaptcha'
