| # Example with Cloudflare Turnstile | |
| [Turnstile](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/) is Cloudflare’s smart CAPTCHA alternative. It can be embedded into any website without sending traffic through Cloudflare and works without showing visitors a CAPTCHA. | |
| This example shows how you can use **Cloudflare Turnstile** with your Next.js project. You can see a [live version here](https://with-cloudflare-turnstile.vercel.app/). | |
| ## Deploy your own | |
| Deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example). | |
| [](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/cloudflare-turnstile&project-name=cloudflare-turnstile&repository-name=cloudflare-turnstile) | |
| **Important**: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on **Environment Variable**s and set them to match your .env.local file. | |
| ## How to use | |
| Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example: | |
| ```bash | |
| npx create-next-app --example cloudflare-turnstile cloudflare-turnstile-app | |
| ``` | |
| ```bash | |
| yarn create next-app --example cloudflare-turnstile cloudflare-turnstile-app | |
| ``` | |
| ```bash | |
| pnpm create next-app --example cloudflare-turnstile cloudflare-turnstile-app | |
| ``` | |
| Deploy it to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com/new?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)). | |
