Installation

npm install @veriff/incontext-sdk

Usage

Before initializing the InContext SDK, you need a valid Veriff session URL. To create a session URL, you can use our JS SDK or our API.

// ES6
import { createVeriffFrame } from '@veriff/incontext-sdk';

// CommonJS
const { createVeriffFrame } = require('@veriff/incontext-sdk');

const veriffFrame = createVeriffFrame({ url: 'SESSION_URL' });

This will render an iframe with a modal that contains Veriff application.

Exposed types

import { EmbeddedOptions, MESSAGES, VeriffFrameOptions } from '@veriff/incontext-sdk';

Listening for events

Pass the onEvent callback function when initializing SDK

import { createVeriffFrame, MESSAGES } from '@veriff/incontext-sdk';

createVeriffFrame({
  url: 'SESSION_URL',
  onEvent: function (msg: MESSAGES) {
    switch (msg) {
      case MESSAGES.STARTED:
        console.log('Verification started');
        break;
      case MESSAGES.SUBMITTED:
        console.log('Verification submitted');
        break;
      case MESSAGES.FINISHED:
        console.log('Verification finished');
        break;
      case MESSAGES.CANCELED:
        console.log('Verification closed');
        break;
      case MESSAGES.RELOAD_REQUEST:
        console.log('Verification reloaded');
        break;
    }
  },
});

Using with inline script

Include a script tag:

<script src="https://cdn.veriff.me/incontext/js/v2.3.1/veriff.js"></script>

window.veriffSDK.createVeriffFrame({ url: 'session url' });

Embedded mode

Before using embedded mode, make sure the incontext_sdk_embedded_allowed feature flag is enabled for your account.

The embedded mode allows you to inject the Veriff flow to a specific part of your website, without a modal. To enable embedded mode, set the embedded option to true.

Note about dimensions

• Minimum 600x680 width/height
• Optimal 800x800 width/height

The flow will render regardless of the dimensions, but the user experience might be affected.

Example

const veriffFrame = createVeriffFrame({
  url: 'SESSION_URL',
  embedded: true,
  embeddedOptions: {
    // Specifies the parent DOM element of Veriff’s iframe, using its ID attribute
    rootElementID: 'embedded-container',
  },
});

<div
  style={{ width: '635px', height: '670px', border: '1px solid #ccc' }}
  id="embedded-container"
/>

API

createVeriffFrame([options])

Create modal with Veriff application.

• [options] - Configuration object (only url is required)

  • url - Veriff session URL
  • lang - Set user interface language ISO 639-1 (https://www.veriff.com/supported-languages)
  • onEvent - Event callback function
  • onReload - Reload request callback. This event can be called when Veriff detects that user has denied camera access and to re-request camera access parent window should be reloaded
  • embedded - Set to true if you want to use embedded mode (see Embedded mode)
  • embeddedOptions - Embedded mode options
    • rootElementID - Specifies the parent DOM element of Veriff’s iframe, using its ID attribute

Returns an object that controls the modal.

.close()

Close Veriff modal. Normally modal will be closed due to user input, but if you want to control it(e.g. timeout), please use this function.

onReload

This is an edge case for Safari iOS to re-request camera permissions

Example:

const url = sessionStorage.getItem('@veriff-session-url') || getSessionUrl();

veriffSDK.createVeriffFrame({
  url,
  onReload: () => {
    // Logic to re-open Veriff SDK after page reload
    // e.g. sessionStorage.setItem('@veriff-session-url', 'session url');
    window.location.reload();
  },
});
