Works with Svelte 3, 4, and 5 (compatibility mode)!
Cloudflare's Turnstile is a new CAPTCHA alternative, this library allows you to easily integrate it into your svelte projects.
npm install svelte-turnstile -D
https://svelte-turnstile.willow.codes

We need to validate the captcha token server side before we do any action on the server, this is to ensure no forgery occured. We can create a simple validate function:
If you are using a HTML Form and POSTing to a server you can get the cf-turnstile-response
(or what you configured it to using the responseFieldName
option) property to get the token
, otherwise you can use the on:callback
event in svelte to keep track of the token and send it to your backend.
interface TokenValidateResponse {
'error-codes': string[];
success: boolean;
action: string;
cdata: string;
}
async function validateToken(token: string, secret: string) {
const response = await fetch(
'https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify',
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
response: token,
secret: secret,
}),
},
);
const data: TokenValidateResponse = await response.json();
return {
// Return the status
success: data.success,
// Return the first error if it exists
error: data['error-codes']?.length ? data['error-codes'][0] : null,
};
}
In SvelteKit we can use form actions to easily setup a form with a captcha:
routes/login/+page.svelte
<script>
import { Turnstile } from 'svelte-turnstile';
let { form } = $props();
</script>
{#if form?.error}
<p>{form?.error}</p>
{/if}
<form method="POST" action="/login">
<Turnstile siteKey="SITE_KEY" theme="dark" />
</form>
routes/login/+page.server.js
// Copy and paste the validateToken function from above here
export const actions = {
default: async ({ request }) => {
const data = await request.formData();
const token = data.get('cf-turnstile-response'); // if you edited the formsField option change this
const SECRET_KEY = '...'; // you should use $env module for secrets
const { success, error } = await validateToken(token, SECRET_KEY);
if (!success)
return {
error: error || 'Invalid CAPTCHA',
};
// do something, the captcha is valid!
},
};
routes/login/schema.ts
import { z } from "zod";
export const schema = z.object({
..., // other fields
'cf-turnstile-response': z.string().nonempty('Please complete turnstile')
});
routes/login/+page.svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { zodClient } from 'sveltekit-superforms/adapters';
import { superForm } from 'sveltekit-superforms';
import { Turnstile } from 'svelte-turnstile';
import { schema } from './schema.ts';
let { data } = $props();
// Call this to reset the turnstile
let reset = $state<() => void>();
const { enhance, message } = superForm(data.form, {
validators: zodClient(schema),
onUpdated() {
// When the form is updated, we reset the turnstile
reset?.();
},
});
</script>
<form method="POST" use:enhance>
<Turnstile siteKey={PUBLIC_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY} bind:reset />
</form>
routes/login/+page.server.js
import { fail, message, setError, superValidate } from 'sveltekit-superforms';
import { zod } from 'sveltekit-superforms/adapters';
import { schema } from './schema.ts';
export const load = async () => {
const form = await superValidate(zod(schema));
return { form };
};
export const actions = {
default: async ({ request }) => {
const form = await superValidate(request, zod(schema));
if (!form.valid) return fail(400, { form });
const { success } = await validateToken(
form.data['cf-turnstile-response'],
SECRET_KEY,
);
if (!success) {
return setError(
form,
'cf-turnstile-response',
'Invalid turnstile, please try again',
);
}
return message(form, 'Success!');
},
};
This example uses the Superforms onUpdated event to reset the Turnstile widget. Additionally, it automatically adds the Turnstile response token to the form data.
If you need to manually reset the widget, you can do so by binding to the reset
prop. For example:
<script lang="ts">
let reset = $state<() => void>();
</script>
<button onclick={() => reset?.()}> Reset </button>
<Turnstile bind:reset />
