Yandex SmartCaptcha for Flutter

Pub Version Pub Points Dart Package Docs License: MIT

This package makes it easy to integrate Yandex SmartCaptcha into Flutter mobile apps. To learn more about the Yandex SmartCaptcha service, visit its official page.

Motivation

One day at work, I urgently needed to integrate a Yandex CAPTCHA into a mobile app, and the flutter_yandex_smartcaptcha package came to the rescue. However, I discovered a serious bug and reported it to the author. When they didn’t respond, I decided to create a similar package myself and learn how to publish packages on pub.flutter-io.cn in the process. End of story.

Usage

Super simple! Here’s the most basic example:

YandexSmartCaptcha(
  config: CaptchaConfig(
    clientKey: 'your-client-key',
  ),
  onChallengeSolved: (token) {
    // Handle the solved captcha token
  },
)

In most cases, you’ll only need the YandexSmartCaptcha and CaptchaConfig classes. The CaptchaController is entirely optional – it is useful if you need to trigger validation, reset the widget, or destroy it programmatically.

CaptchaConfig parameters

This is an immutable configuration for Web SmartCaptcha.

The term "Web SmartCaptcha" refers to the underlying HTML page hosted inside the WebView that instantiates and executes the Yandex SmartCaptcha JavaScript widget.

Parameter Required Default Description
clientKey The client-side key passed to Web SmartCaptcha.
language ru The language for the Web SmartCaptcha UI.
alwaysShowChallenge false Whether the CAPTCHA should always display a challenge. Useful for testing.
useInvisibleMode false Whether to run CAPTCHA in invisible mode – without the "I'm not a robot" checkbox.
badgePosition bottomRight The position of the Data Processing Notice (DPN) badge when useInvisibleMode is true.
hideBadge false Whether to hide the DPN badge when useInvisibleMode is true.
useWebViewMode true Whether to enable specialized mobile WebView optimization mode.
initialScale 1.0 The initial scale factor for the Web SmartCaptcha content.
allowUserScaling false Whether the user can scale the Web SmartCaptcha content using gestures.
maximumScale 3.0 The maximum scale factor when allowUserScaling is true.
