hCaptcha support in Grav forms?

Support Forms & Blueprints
8

This is the form example:

title: 'Contact Form'
form:
    name: contact
    action: /form/contact
    template: form-messages
    refresh_prevention: true
    classes: denuo
    fields:
        name:
            type: honeypot
        UthcCKLVLEkr:
            type: text
            label: Name
            placeholder: 'Fist and Last name'
            autocomplete: name
            validate:
                required: true
                message: 'Enter your name'
        UthcCKZXaFMl:
            type: text
            label: E-mail
            placeholder: your@email.com
            validate:
                type: email
                required: true
                message: 'Enter your email'
    buttons:
        submit:
            type: submit
            classes: 'btn btn-danger'
            value: 'Submit'
    process:
        azrlogicapp:
            formname: WebContact
            **hash: UthcCK**
            formtype: Contact
            **map: '{"name":"LVLEkr","email":"ZXaFMl"}'**
        display: thankyou

There is a random ID (consisting of 2 parts) for the form elements (not describing their usage) + a standard one with ID “name” (bots are usually looking for the common IDs). custom plugin (azrlogicapp) does the processing and there are two parts in the plugin config (marked bold above):

  1. hash: contains the first part of the input ID (same for all inputs in the form)
  2. map: the second part of the ID.

plugin later translates this into the “meaningful” ID and does the processing. Plugin evaluates if the “name” ID is empty or not - if it is not empty = bot. The idea behind this is not to have real ID/input names available in the form.

not bulletproof but will avoid 99% bots. As I said using this solution 3+yrs with almost zero spam. And I don’t need to bother users with the captcha,…
