Quick Start Guide

First, you will need a license key to use the SDK. To get your license key contact us through our website BioPass ID.

Check out our official documentation for more in depth information on BioPass ID.

1. Prerequisites:

Attention: To use Fingerprint you will need a physical device, Fingerprint does not work on emulators.

| | Android | iOS | | ----------- | ------- | ------- | | Support | SDK 24+ | iOS 15+ |

- A physical device with a camera
- License key
- Internet connection is required to verify the license

2. Installation

npm install @biopassid/fingerprint-sdk-react-native

Android

Change the minimum Android sdk version to 24 (or higher) in your android/app/build.gradle file.

minSdkVersion 24

iOS

Requires iOS 15.0 or higher.

Add to the ios/Info.plist:

• the key Privacy - Camera Usage Description and a usage description.

If editing Info.plist as text, add:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your camera usage description</string>

Then go into your project's ios folder and run pod install.

# Go into ios folder
$ cd ios

# Install dependencies
$ pod install

Expo

• ✅ You can use this library with Development Builds. No config plugin is required.
• ❌ This library can't be used in the "Expo Go" app because it requires custom native code.

3. How to use

To call Fingerprint in your React Native project is as easy as follow:

import React from "react";
import {StyleSheet, View, Button} from "react-native";
import {
  FingerprintCaptureType,
  FingerprintOutputType,
  useFingerprint,
  FingerprintCaptureState,
  FingerprintRect,
  FingerprintConfig,
} from "@biopassid/fingerprint-sdk-react-native";

export default function App() {
  const { takeFingerprint } = useFingerprint();

  const config: FingerprintConfig = {
    licenseKey: "your-license-key",
  };

  async function handleButton() {
    await takeFingerprint({
      config,
      onFingerCapture: (images: string[], error: string | null) => {
        if (error) {
          console.log("onFingerCaptured:", error);
        } else {
          console.log("onFingerCaptured:", images[0]?.substring(0, 20));
        }
      },
      onStatusChanged: (state: FingerprintCaptureState) => {
        console.log("onStatusChanged:", state);
      },
      onFingerDetected: (fingerRects: FingerprintRect[]) => {
        console.log("onFingerDetected:", fingerRects);
      },
    });
  }

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Button onPress={handleButton} title="Capture Fingers" />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: "center",
    justifyContent: "center",
    backgroundColor: "#FFFFFF",
  },
});

4. LicenseKey

First, you will need a license key to use the SDK. To get your license key contact us through our website BioPass ID.

To use Fingerprint Capture you need a license key. To set the license key needed is simple as setting another attribute. Simply doing:

const config: FingerprintConfig = {
  licenseKey: "your-license-key",
};

5. Getting capture status and finger position

You can get the capture status and finger position by passing callback functions when calling takeFingeprint. You can write you own listener following this example:

await takeFingerprint({
  config: { licenseKey: "your-license-key" },
  onFingerCapture: (images: string[], error: string | null) => {
    if (error) {
      console.log("onFingerCaptured:", error);
    } else {
      console.log("onFingerCaptured:", images[0]?.substring(0, 20));
    }
  },
  onStatusChanged: (state: FingerprintCaptureState) => {
    console.log("onStatusChanged:", state);
  },
  onFingerDetected: (fingerRects: FingerprintRect[]) => {
    console.log("onFingerDetected:", fingerRects);
  },
});

How to change font family

on Android side

You can use the default font family or set one of your own. To set a font, create a folder font under res directory in your android/app/src/main/res. Download the font which ever you want and paste it inside font folder. All font file names must be only: lowercase a-z, 0-9, or underscore. The structure should be some thing like below.

on iOS side

To add the font files to your Xcode project:

1. In Xcode, select the Project navigator.
2. Drag your fonts from a Finder window into your project. This copies the fonts to your project.
3. Select the font or folder with the fonts, and verify that the files show their target membership checked for your app’s targets.

Then, add the "Fonts provided by application" key to your app’s Info.plist file. For the key’s value, provide an array of strings containing the relative paths to any added font files.

In the following example, the font file is inside the fonts directory, so you use fonts/roboto_mono_bold_italic.ttf as the string value in the Info.plist file.

on JS side

Finally, just set the font passing the name of the font file when instantiating FingerprintConfig in your React Native app.

const config: FingerprintConfig = {
  licenseKey: "your-license-key",
  fontFamily: "roboto_mono_bold_italic",
};

How to change icon

on Android side

You can use the default icons or define one of your own. To set a icon, download the icon which ever you want and paste it inside drawable folder in your android/app/src/main/res. All icon file names must be only: lowercase a-z, 0-9, or underscore. The structure should be some thing like below.

on iOS side

To add icon files to your Xcode project:

1. In the Project navigator, select an asset catalog: a file with a .xcassets file extension.
2. Drag an image from the Finder to the outline view. A new image set appears in the outline view, and the image asset appears in a well in the detail area.

on JS side

Finally, just set the icon passing the name of the icon file when instantiating FingerprintConfig in your React Native app.

const config: FingerprintConfig = {
  licenseKey: "your-license-key",
  // Changing back button icon
  backButton: { iconOptions: { iconFile: "ic_baseline_camera" } },
};
