How to Add Captcha Widget

In order to add the Yii 2 captcha widget you need to:

Override the Form

For the sake of the example, we are going to override the Da\User\Form\RecoveryForm class:

namespace app\forms;

class RecoveryForm extends Da\User\Form\RecoveryForm {

    public $captcha;

    public function rules() {

        $rules = parent::rules();

        $rules[] = ['captcha', 'required'];
        $rules[] = ['captcha', 'captcha'];

        return $rules;
    }
}

Overriding the View

Create a new file and name it request.php and add it in @app/views/user/recovery. Add the captcha widget to it:

<?php

use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
use yii\captcha\Captcha;

/**
 * @var yii\web\View $this
 * @var yii\widgets\ActiveForm $form
 * @var \Da\User\Form\RecoveryForm $model
 */

$this->title = Yii::t('usuario', 'Recover your password');
$this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = $this->title;
?>
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3">
        <div class="panel panel-default">
            <div class="panel-heading">
                <h3 class="panel-title"><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></h3>
            </div>
            <div class="panel-body">
                <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(
                    [
                        'id' => $model->formName(),
                        'enableAjaxValidation' => true,
                        'enableClientValidation' => false,
                    ]
                ); ?>

                <?= $form->field($model, 'email')->textInput(['autofocus' => true]) ?>

                <?= $form->field($model, 'captcha')
                    ->widget(Captcha::className(), ['captchaAction' => ['/site/captcha']]) ?>

                <?= Html::submitButton(Yii::t('usuario', 'Continue'), ['class' => 'btn btn-primary btn-block']) ?><br>

                <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Add Captcha Action to a Controller


namespace app\controllers;

class RecoveryController extends \yii\web\Controller
{
    // ...

    public function actions()
    {
        return [
            'captcha' => [
                'class' => 'yii\captcha\CaptchaAction',
            ],
        ];
    }

    // ...
}

Configure Module and Application

Finally, we have to configure the module and the application to ensure is using our form and our view:


// ... 

'modules' => [
    'user' => [
        'class' => Da\User\Module::class,
        'classMap' => [
            'RecoveryForm' => 'app\forms\RecoveryForm'
        ], 
        'controllerMap' => [
            'recovery' => [
                 'class' => '\app\controllers\RecoveryController' 
             ]
        ]
    ]
], 

// ...

'components' => [
    'view' => [
        'theme' => [
            'pathMap' => [
                '@Da/User/resources/views' => '@app/views/user'
            ]
        ]
    ]
]
