React Native Passcode Auth
React Native Passcode Auth is a React Native library for authenticating users with iOS Passcode. It is an excellent fallback for when Touch ID is not available.
Install
React Native Passcode Auth requires iOS 9.0 or later.
npm i --save @el173/react-native-passcode-auth
Usage
Linking the Library (via Cocoa Pods)
Add the following line to your build targets in your Podfile
pod 'PasscodeAuth', :path => '../node_modules/@el173/react-native-passcode-auth'
Then run pod install
Requesting Passcode Authentication
Once you've linked the library, you'll want to make it available to your app by requiring it:
import PasscodeAuth from '@el173/react-native-passcode-auth';
Requesting Passcode authentication is as simple as calling:
PasscodeAuth.authenticate('to demo this react-native component')
.then(success => {
// Success code
})
.catch(error => {
// Failure code
});
Example
Using PasscodeAuth in your app will usually look like this:
import React, { Component, AlertIOS, TouchableHighlight, View, Text } from 'react-native';
import PasscodeAuth form 'react-native-passcode-auth';
class YourComponent extends Component {
_pressHandler() {
PasscodeAuth.authenticate('to demo this react-native component')
.then(success => {
AlertIOS.alert('Authenticated Successfully');
})
.catch(error => {
AlertIOS.alert('Authentication Failed');
});
}
render() {
return (
<View>
...
<TouchableHighlight onPress={this._pressHandler}>
<Text>
Authenticate with Passcode
</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
);
}
});
Methods
authenticate(reason)
Attempts to authenticate with Passcode.
Returns a Promise
object.
Arguments
reason
- An optionalString
that provides a clear reason for requesting authentication.
Examples
PasscodeAuth.authenticate('to demo this react-native component')
.then(success => {
// Success code
console.log('User authenticated with Passcode');
})
.catch(error => {
// Failure code
console.log(error);
});
isSupported()
Verify's that Passcode Auth is supported and that Passcode is set.
Returns a Promise
object.
Examples
PasscodeAuth.isSupported()
.then(supported => {
// Success code
console.log('Passcode Auth is supported.');
})
.catch(error => {
// Failure code
console.log(error);
});
Errors
There are various reasons why authenticating with Passcode may fail. Whenever calling Passcode authentication fails, PasscodeAuth.authenticate
will return an error code representing the reason.
Below is a list of error codes that can be returned:
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| LAErrorAuthenticationFailed
| Authentication was not successful because the user failed to provide valid credentials. |
| LAErrorUserCancel
| Authentication was canceled by the user—for example, the user tapped Cancel in the dialog. |
| LAErrorUserFallback
| Authentication was canceled because the user tapped the fallback button (Enter Password). |
| LAErrorSystemCancel
| Authentication was canceled by system—for example, if another application came to foreground while the authentication dialog was up. |
| LAErrorPasscodeNotSet
| Authentication could not start because the passcode is not set on the device. |
| PasscodeAuthNotSet
| Authentication could not start because the passcode is not set on the device. |
| PasscodeAuthNotSupported
| Device does not support Passcode Auth. |
More information on errors can be found in Apple's Documentation.
