Browser libraries

The browser part of mCaptcha is divided into three components.

  • Glue code
  • Widget program
  • Proof-of-Work libraries(WebAssembly and JavaScript polyfill)

Glue code

This is the code that links mCaptcha with your website’s frontend code. It creates an iframe containing the mCaptcha widget and injects the received verification proof token into a hidden input field.

Support is available for various frameworks, see mCaptcha/glue for the full list.

For frameworks without official support, a low-level library, @mcaptcha/core-glue, can be used to implement support.

Widget Program

This part is served by the mCaptcha backend. It fetches PoW config from the backend, generates proof and submits it for verification. If verification is successful, it sends a message containing the verification proof token to the parent window, assuming it’s loaded as an iframe.

WebAssembly library which generates Proofs of Work for mCaptcha systems.

Proof-of-Work(PoW) library

WebAssembly bindings(mCaptcha/pow_wasm) are available for the main rust library(mCaptcha/pow_sha256).

For browsers without support WebAssembly, a polyfill(pow_sha256-polyfill) is available.
