Reclaim Protocol React Native SDK Integration Guide
This guide will walk you through integrating the Reclaim Protocol React Native SDK into your application. We'll create a simple React Native application that demonstrates how to use the SDK to generate proofs and verify claims.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure you have:
- An application ID from Reclaim Protocol.
- An application secret from Reclaim Protocol.
- A provider ID for the specific service you want to verify.
You can obtain these details from the Reclaim Developer Portal.
Step 1: Create a new React Native application
Let's start by creating a new React Native application:
npx react-native init ReclaimApp
cd ReclaimApp
Step 2: Install necessary dependencies
Install the Reclaim Protocol React Native SDK:
npm install @reclaimprotocol/reactnative-sdk
Step 3: Set up your React Native component
Replace the contents of App.tsx
with the following code:
import * as React from 'react';
import {useEffect, useState} from 'react';
import {View, Text, Button, StyleSheet, Linking, TouchableOpacity, ScrollView} from 'react-native';
import {ReclaimProofRequest} from '@reclaimprotocol/reactnative-sdk';
import type { Proof } from '@reclaimprotocol/reactnative-sdk';
// Define your app's deep link scheme
const APP_SCHEME = 'reclaimexample://';
export default function App() {
const [status, setStatus] = useState<string>('');
const [extracted, setExtracted] = useState<string | null>(null);
const [proofObject, setProofObject] = useState<string | null>(null);
const [reclaimProofRequest, setReclaimProofRequest] = useState<ReclaimProofRequest | null>(null);
const [requestUrl, setRequestUrl] = useState<string | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
initializeReclaimProofRequest();
setupDeepLinking();
}, []);
// Set up deep linking to handle redirects back to the app
function setupDeepLinking() {
Linking.addEventListener('url', handleDeepLink);
Linking.getInitialURL().then((url) => {
if (url) {
handleDeepLink({url});
}
});
return () => {
Linking.removeAllListeners('url');
};
}
// Handle incoming deep links
function handleDeepLink(event: {url: string}) {
console.log('Deep link received:', event.url);
// You can add logic here to handle the deep link
}
// Initialize the ReclaimProofRequest
async function initializeReclaimProofRequest() {
try {
const proofRequest = await ReclaimProofRequest.init(
'YOUR_APP_ID',
'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'YOUR_PROVIDER_ID'
);
setReclaimProofRequest(proofRequest);
proofRequest.addContext('0x00000000000', 'Example context message');
proofRequest.setRedirectUrl(`${APP_SCHEME}proof`);
console.log('Proof request initialized:', proofRequest.toJsonString());
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error initializing ReclaimProofRequest:', error);
}
}
// Start the Reclaim verification session
async function startReclaimSession() {
if (!reclaimProofRequest) {
console.error('ReclaimProofRequest not initialized');
return;
}
try {
setStatus('Starting Reclaim session...');
const url = await reclaimProofRequest.getRequestUrl();
setRequestUrl(url);
const canOpen = await Linking.canOpenURL(url);
if (canOpen) {
await Linking.openURL(url);
setStatus('Session started. Waiting for proof...');
} else {
setStatus('Unable to open URL automatically. Please copy and open the URL manually.');
}
const statusUrl = reclaimProofRequest.getStatusUrl();
console.log('Status URL:', statusUrl);
await reclaimProofRequest.startSession({
onSuccess: async (proof: Proof | string | undefined) => {
if (proof){
if (typeof proof === 'string') {
// When using a custom callback url, the proof is returned to the callback url and we get a message instead of a proof
console.log('SDK Message:', proof)
setExtracted(proof)
} else if (typeof proof !== 'string') {
console.log('Proof received:', proof);
setExtracted(JSON.stringify(proof.claimData.context));
}
setStatus('Proof received!');
setProofObject(JSON.stringify(proof, null, 2));
}
},
onError: (error: Error) => {
console.error('Error in proof generation:', error);
setStatus(`Error in proof generation: ${error.message}`);
},
});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error starting Reclaim session:', error);
setStatus(`Error starting Reclaim session`);
}
}
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.title}>React Native Reclaim Demo</Text>
<Button onPress={startReclaimSession} title="Start Reclaim Session" />
<Text style={styles.status}>{status}</Text>
{requestUrl && (
<Text style={styles.url}>Request URL: {requestUrl}</Text>
)}
{proofObject && (
<View style={styles.proofContainer}>
<Text style={styles.subtitle}>Proof Data:</Text>
<Text>{proofObject}</Text>
</View>
)}
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
padding: 20,
},
title: {
fontSize: 20,
fontWeight: 'bold',
marginBottom: 20,
},
status: {
marginVertical: 10,
},
url: {
marginVertical: 10,
},
subtitle: {
fontSize: 16,
fontWeight: 'bold',
marginTop: 20,
},
proofContainer: {
marginTop: 20,
},
});
Step 4: Understanding the code
Let's break down what's happening in this code:
We initialize the Reclaim SDK with your application ID, secret, and provider ID. This happens once when the component mounts.
We set up deep linking to handle redirects back to the app after the verification process.
When the user presses the "Start Reclaim Session" button, we:
- Generate a request URL using
getRequestUrl()
. - Attempt to open the URL, which starts the verification process.
- Get the status URL using
getStatusUrl()
. This URL can be used to check the status of the claim process. - Start a session with
startSession()
, which sets up callbacks for successful and failed verifications.
- Generate a request URL using
We display the request URL, which can be opened manually if automatic opening fails.
When the verification is successful, we display the extracted data and the full proof object on the screen.
Step 5: Run your application
Start your development server:
npx react-native run-android
# or
npx react-native run-ios
Your Reclaim SDK demo should now be running. Press the "Start Reclaim Session" button to begin the verification process.
Understanding the Claim Process
Creating a Claim: When you press "Start Reclaim Session", the SDK generates a unique request for verification.
Request URL: The request URL is displayed and can be opened to start the verification process.
Status URL: This URL (logged to the console) can be used to check the status of the claim process.
Verification: The
onSuccess
callback is called when verification is successful, providing the proof data.Handling Failures: The
onError
callback is called if verification fails, allowing you to handle errors gracefully.
Advanced Configuration
The Reclaim SDK offers several advanced options to customize your integration:
Adding Context: You can add context to your proof request, which can be useful for providing additional information:
reclaimProofRequest.addContext('0x00000000000', 'Example context message');
Setting Parameters: If your provider requires specific parameters, you can set them like this:
reclaimProofRequest.setParams({ email: "[email protected]", userName: "testUser" });
Custom Redirect URL: Set a custom URL to redirect users after the verification process. You can even redirect the user back to your app by setting up the deep link scheme and adding it as the redirect URL:
reclaimProofRequest.setRedirectUrl(`${APP_SCHEME}proof`);
Custom Callback URL: Set a custom URL to receive proof status updates:
reclaimProofRequest.setAppCallbackUrl('https://example.com/callback');
Exporting and Importing SDK Configuration: You can export the entire Reclaim SDK configuration as a JSON string and use it to initialize the SDK with the same configuration on a different service or backend:
// On the client-side or initial service const configJson = reclaimProofRequest.toJsonString() console.log('Exportable config:', configJson) // Send this configJson to your backend or another service // On the backend or different service const importedRequest = ReclaimProofRequest.fromJsonString(configJson) const requestUrl = await importedRequest.getRequestUrl()
This allows you to generate request URLs and other details from your backend or a different service while maintaining the same configuration.
Handling Proofs on Your Backend
For production applications, it's recommended to handle proofs on your backend. You can set up a callback URL to receive proofs and status updates.
