React Native

This guide helps you to integrate the Passbase SDK into your React Native project
General
To integrate the Passbase Package you first need to sign up on our developer dashboard. Integration of the Passbase React Native Package follows a few simple steps:
Install the package in your project
Initialization of the package with your API key
Start a new verification process
Handling verifications
UI Customizations
1. Install the Package
At the root level of your project, install the package with yarn or npm inside the terminal:
# yarn
yarn add @passbase/react-native-passbase
​
# npm 
npm i @passbase/react-native-passbase -s
For React Native <0.60
If your React Native version is larger than >= 0.60, you can ignore this step. Otherwise, please run the following command to link the package:
react-native link @passbase/react-native-passbase
iOS Specific Steps
Please follow these steps to complete the installation and integrate the SDK in the iOS project. 
Adding Sources to Podfile
Navigate inside your iOS project folder and add the following three lines at top of the Podfile. (If you con't have a Podfile yet, please create one by running the commansd pod init inside the ios folder)
You need to do this step to tell the Cocoapods where the Passbase iOS SDK is (our iOS SDK is a closed source project). If you forget this step, Cocoapods won't find our SDK.
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
source 'https://github.com/passbase/zoom-cocoapods-specs.git'
source 'https://github.com/passbase/cocoapods-react-native-specs.git'
The minimum  iOS version is 11.0. Make sure to include this in the Podfile. 
platform :ios, '11.0'
​
Then, navigate inside the terminal into your project folder (cd ios) and run the following command to install the Passbase iOS SDK as a dependency:
pod install
pod install can take longer (up to 20 minutes) depending upon the speed of you internet. You can monitor the network activity in the activity monitor.
Example of a complete Podfile
# Example of a Podfile
# 1. Add this here
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
source 'https://github.com/passbase/zoom-cocoapods-specs'
source 'https://github.com/passbase/cocoapods-react-native-specs.git'
​
# 2. Add the platform requirement to at least iOS 11
platform :ios, '11.0' 
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
​
target 'ReactNativeTest' do
​
  # Pods for ReactNativeTest 
  # ... (not all listed)
​
  target 'ReactNativeTestTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end
​
  use_native_modules!
end
​
target 'ReactNativeTest-tvOS' do
  # Pods for ReactNativeTest-tvOS
​
  target 'ReactNativeTest-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end
​
end
Create Objective-C Bridging if your iOS project is in Objective-C
After the pods are installed, open your project's .xcworkspace file in Xcode. If you have an Objective-C project, add a blank Swift file to your project (File -> New -> Swift File), with a bridging header (it will prompt you to auto-create one).
1. right click on project's name directory & select new file.
2. select swift file & click next
3. give name to your file & click Create
4. select Create Bridging Header
Adding Camera Permissions in Info.plist
If you made it here, you successfully installed the Passbase SDK for iOS. Now let's adjust your last settings and start your first verification.
Please add the following permissions to your app's Info.plist, so that the Passbase iOS SDK can access your users' cameras, to run a verification. You can do it in the property list view or by code:
Right click somewhere outside the table and select Add Row. Now just type Privacy and add a Camera Usage Description + explain why you need to access the camera. Repeat the same step for Photo Library.
If you are more comfortable with code, right click on Info.plist and select Open As -> Source Code. Add the lines below somewhere inside the <dict>   </dict> 
<!-- permission strings to be include in info.plist -->
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Please give us access to your camera, to complete the verification.</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Please give us access to your photo library to verify you.</string>
You have successfully finished setting up the Passbase iOS SDK! 🎉
Android Specific Steps
After installing the Passbase React Native package with yarn or npm, please complete the following steps to set up the Android environment correctly: 
Adding Kotlin, Maven and  minSdkVersion
Note: Make sure your Android Studio also supports Kotlin. As of this writing, Android Studio Version 3.5.1 has Kotlin support. If you're using an older version, you can install Kotlin support under Android Studio → Preferences… → Plugins → Browse Repository → Type “Kotlin” in search box → Install
Kotlin support is required in the main Android project. Please add the following lines to your project'sandroid/build.gradle file:
Set minSdkVersion to 21 or higher
Set kotlin_version to "1.3.21" or higher
Add in dependencies the line classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version")
Add  in repositories the line maven { url 'http://maven.facetec.com' }
Code Example
// In the different lines to your projcet's build.gradle file
buildscript {
    ext {
      ...
        minSdkVersion = 21 // 1. Add minSdkVersion
        kotlin_version = "1.3.21" // 2. Add kotlin_version
    }
    dependencies {
       ...
       // 3. Add classpath
       classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" 
    }
}
​
allprojects {
    repositories {
       ...
       // 4. Add maven block
       maven { url 'http://maven.facetec.com' }
    }
}
Sync the gradle & run. You've successfully installed the Passbase SDK for Android! 🎉
2. Initialize the SDK
Passbase uses API keys to allow access to the SDK and routes it back to your dashboard. You need to register on our website using your publishable API key from your developer dashboard's API settings. If you don't have a developer account yet, you can create one here: developer dashboard.​
First, add the following import statement to the top: import { PassbaseModule } from '@passbase/react-native-passbase'
Then, initialize the SDK with your own API key. In promise based implementation like in the code snippet below, you need to replace YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY for your own API key from your developer dashboard:
const res = await PassbaseModule.init(
        'YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY',
        'EMAIL',
        { // object of String:String based additional Params you want, **must be string (key, value) e.g.
          "userId":"a2ab4-f2jc4-k2dd4-1fa3x"
        }
)
Please use the publishable API key for all integrations. The secret key should never be exposed or used in a web integration or mobile app since it can accesas sensitive user data if leaked!
In the example below you can see both a Promise based & Callback based approach for initializing the SDK:
Type
Method
Promise Based 
init(apiKey, email, additionParams)
Callback Based 
init(apiKey, email, additionParams, onSuccess, onFailure)
You can find an example implementation with both types below:
import { PassbaseModule } from '@passbase/react-native-passbase'; // at the top import
​
    // promise based implementation
    const res = await PassbaseModule.init(
        'YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY',
        'EMAIL',
        { // object of String:String based additional Params you want, **must be string (key, value) e.g.
          "userId":"a2ab4-f2jc4-k2dd4-1fa3x"
        }
    )
    if (res && res.success) {
        // Do your stuff here, you have successfully initialized.
    } else {
        // check res.message for the error message
    }
​
    //Callback based implementation
    PassbaseModule.init(
        'YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY',
        'EMAIL',
        {
          // String based additional Params you want, **must be string (key, value)
          "userId":"a2ab4-f2jc4-k2dd4-1fa3x"
        },
        (res) => { // it is onSuccess callback.
          // do your stuff here.
        },
        (err) => { // it is onError callback
          // oops! something went wrong. analyze `err`
        }
    )
You have successfully initialized the Passbase SDK!  🎉
3. Start Verification
Please make sure, you've initialized the SDK before starting a new verification. Otherwise you can't start the verification.
Keep in mind that in order to successfully finish a verification, you need to pass our liveness detection. Hence, if you develop on a Simulator (e.g. iPhone Simulator via Xcode), you won't be able to get past this step. Therefore please use a real device (e.g. an attached iPhone) to fully test and develop with our SDK.
There are two ways to start verification. 
Using PassbaseButton component
Using startVerification  method
Using PassbaseButton component is the simplest way to show ready made Passbase Button UI and start the verification process. The following code snippet shows how to use PassbaseButton component provided by the SDK:
import { PassbaseButton } from '@passbase/react-native-passbase'; // import statement on top
​
...
<PassbaseButton style={{ backgroundColor: 'white' }}/>
...
This will render the Passbase Button on UI and will automatically start verification on its press.
If you want to make your own UI or button but want to start verification programmatically, you can use the method,startVerification. As previously mentioned, you can receive callbacks or you can use a promise based approach:
Callback based or
Promise based
Below are examples of how to start the verification based on promise or callback:
Type
Method
Promise Based 
startVerification()
Callback Based
startVerification(onSuccess, onError)
You can find an example implementation using both methods below:
  import { PassbaseModule } from '@passbase/react-native-passbase' // at the top import
​
  // Promise based method call
  const res = await PassbaseModule.startVerification();
  if (res.success) {
     // successfully started verification.
  }
​
  //Callback based call
  PassbaseModule.startVerification((res) => {
      if (res && res.success) {
          // successfully started verification.
      }
  }, (err) => {
      // ooops! something went wrong. analyze `err`
  })
You have successfully started your first verification! 🎉
4. Handling Verifications
To recognize if a verification was successful or a user cancelled it you can implement 2 callback functions. These are onCancelPassbase & onCompletePassbase. You can addlisteners to listen for these & based upon the the results these will be triggered. 
Method
Description
onCompletePassbase
This callback activates once a user completes the full verification flow. You receive an object called authKey  to track the status of the verification. Please see our section about Webhooks and API for more information.
onCancelPassbase
This callback method activates if a user cancels the verification flow. You can use this to see if people drop out of your verification flow.
import { NativeEventEmitter } from 'react-native';
import { PassbaseModule } from '@passbase/react-native-passbase';
​
  // now in your component's componentDidMount lifecycle method
  componentDidMount () {
      this.subscription = new NativeEventEmitter(PassbaseModule);
      this.subscription.addListener('onCancelPassbase', (event) => {
         // do your stuff here
      })
      this.subscription.addListener('onCompletePassbase', (event) => {
        // do your stuff here.
        // event.authKey can be used for further interactions with passbase server
      })
  }
​
  // you should removeListeners on componentWillUnmout
  componentWillUnmount(){
    if (this.subscription) {
        this.subscription.removeListener('onCompletePassbase', (event) => {})
        this.subscription.removeListener('onCancelPassbase', (event) => {})
    }
  }
5. UI Customizations
We offer a variety of UI customizations for the button and within verification flow. For example, you can customize the color of the progress bar, button, title text & subtitle text etc. 
Customizing styles of the PassbaseButton can be done directly into style prop of the PassbaseButton, like in the code snippet below: 
import {PassbaseButton} from '@passbase/react-native-passbase';
​
... 
<PassbaseButton style={{ backgroundColor: '#d2d2d2', width: 300, height: 60 }}/>
Customizations of the UI within the verification flow can be done by following setter methods exposed in PassbaseModule
Make sure you call these customizations after init & before startVerification.
Also make sure to pass valid hexadecimal value as color value. e.g. #ffffff
Attribute
Description
setLoadingIndicatorColor
This is the background color of the loading animation. The default is set to blue.
setActionButtonBgColor
This is the background color of the action button. The default is set to blue.
setActionButtonDeactivatedBgColor
This is the background color of the deactivated action button. The default is set to a lighter blue or lighter color from setActionButtonBgColor.
setActionButtonTextColor
This is the text color of the action button. The default is set to a lighter white.
setDisclaimerTextColor
This is the text color of the disclaimer, that the users agree to. The default is set to gray.
setTitleTextColor
This is the text color of the title. The default is set to black.
setSubtitleTextColor
This is the text color of the sub title. The default is set to black.
If you'd like to change the color of the progress bar and action button, or the font color of the flow, you can use the example code below before starting the flow:
import {PassbaseModule} from '@passbase/react-native-passbase'; // import on top
​
//call this after init & before startVerification
PassbaseModule.setLoadingIndicatorColor('#A49E8D')
PassbaseModule.setActionButtonBgColor('#504136')
PassbaseModule.setActionButtonDeactivatedBgColor('#d2d2d2')
PassbaseModule.setActionButtonTextColor('#ffffff')
PassbaseModule.setDisclaimerTextColor('#800000')
PassbaseModule.setTitleTextColor('#008080')
PassbaseModule.setSubtitleTextColor('#B2E6D4')
​

Troubleshooting
(Sometimes) Adding ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework
If you experience a crash with the error, "ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework, no image present,"  please add it manually. Otherwise, skip this step.
Sometimes, there is a bug where we need to add another framework to our iOS Project. Try to build and run your project. If the above bug occurs, please download the ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework from this link.
Unzip the file, locate the ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework file in the folder and copy it to your ios directory in the react native project. 
Next, open your project's xcworkspace file and drag the ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework inside the left pane to your project's dependencies in XCode.
Tick the box for Copy items if needed
Add a copy file phase to your Xcode project and have ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework copied to destination Frameworks
For Xcode >= 11 only
Go to General -> Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content & Select Embed & Sign for ZoomAuthenticationHybrid.framework.
Now clean project & build & run.
