Onfido SDK UI Layer

Overview

The Onfido Web SDK provides a set of components for JavaScript applications to capture identity documents and selfie photos and videos for the purpose of identity verification.

The SDK offers a number of benefits to help you create the best identity verification experience for your customers:

• Carefully designed UI to guide your customers through the entire photo and video capture process
• Modular design to help you seamlessly integrate the photo and video capture process into your application flow
• Advanced image quality detection technology to ensure the quality of the captured images meets the requirement of the Onfido identity verification process, guaranteeing the best success rate
• Direct image upload to the Onfido service, to simplify integration

Getting started

The following content assumes you're using our API v3 versions for backend calls. If you are currently using API v2 please refer to this migration guide for more information.

1. Obtain an API token

In order to start integrating, you'll need an API token.

You can use our sandbox environment to test your integration. To use the sandbox, you'll need to generate a sandbox API token in your Onfido Dashboard.

1.1 Regions

Onfido offers region-specific environments. Refer to the Regions section in the API documentation for token format and API base URL information.

2. Create an applicant

To create an applicant from your backend server, make request to the 'create applicant' endpoint, using a valid API token.

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v3/applicants \
  -H 'Authorization: Token token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' \
  -d 'first_name=John' \
  -d 'last_name=Smith'

The JSON response will contain an id field containing an UUID that identifies the applicant. Once you pass the applicant ID to the SDK, documents and live photos and videos uploaded by that instance of the SDK will be associated with that applicant.

3. Generate an SDK token

The SDK is authenticated using SDK tokens. Each authenticated instance of the SDK will correspond to a single Onfido applicant. You’ll need to generate and include a new token each time you initialize the Web SDK.

To generate an SDK token, make a request to the 'generate SDK token' endpoint, including the applicant ID and a valid referrer.

$ curl https://api.onfido.com/v3/sdk_token \
  -H 'Authorization: Token token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' \
  -F 'applicant_id=<APPLICANT_ID>' \
  -F 'referrer=<REFERRER_PATTERN>'

3.1 The referrer argument

The referrer argument specifies the URL of the web page where the Web SDK will be used. The referrer sent by the browser must match the referrer URL pattern in the SDK token for the SDK to successfully authenticate.

The referrer pattern guarantees that other malicious websites cannot reuse the SDK token in case it is lost. You can read more about referrer policy in Mozilla's documentation.

Permitted referrer patterns are as follows:

An example of a valid referrer is https://*.example.com/example_page/*.

4. Import the library

You can either:

• import directly into your HTML page
• use npm

4.1 HTML Script Tag Include

You can include the library as a regular script tag on your page:

<script src="dist/onfido.min.js"></script>

<script src="dist/onfidoAuth.min.js"></script>

If you are importing the Auth module, you do not need to import the standard SDK module (dist/onfido.min.js) also.

And the CSS styles:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/style.css" />

You can see a simple example using script tags.

4.2 NPM style import

You can import the library as a module into your own JS build system (tested with Webpack):

$ npm install --save onfido-sdk-ui

// ES6 module import
import { init } from 'onfido-sdk-ui'

// commonjs style require
var Onfido = require('onfido-sdk-ui')

// ES6 module import
import { init } from 'onfido-sdk-ui/dist/onfidoAuth.min.js'

// commonjs style require
var Onfido = require('onfido-sdk-ui/dist/onfidoAuth.min.js')

In addition to the alternative way of importing Auth, you need to have an auth-sdk/ folder in your public assets folder, and copy the contents of node_modules/onfido-sdk-ui/dist/auth-sdk into it.

If you are using Webpack on your application, you can automate this by adding:

new CopyPlugin({
  patterns: [
    {
      from: `../../node_modules/onfido-sdk-ui/dist/auth-sdk`,
      to: `${__dirname}/bin/src/auth-sdk`,
    },
  ],
})

This will fetch the core authentication technology from the SDK into your application. Using web workers for authentication enables the best performance achievable, without compromising on usability.

The CSS style will be included inline with the JS code when the library is imported.

You can see an example app using npm style import.

5. Add basic HTML markup

Add an empty HTML element at the bottom of your page for the modal interface to mount itself on.

<div id="onfido-mount"></div>

6. Initialize the SDK

You can now initialize the SDK, using the SDK token.

Onfido.init({
  token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>',
  containerId: 'onfido-mount',
  containerEl: <div id="root" />, //ALTERNATIVE to `containerId`
  onComplete: function (data) {
    console.log('everything is complete')
  },
  steps: ['welcome', 'poa', 'document', 'face', 'complete'],
})

Handling callbacks

onComplete {Function} optional

Callback that fires when both the document and face have been successfully captured and uploaded. You can then trigger your backend to create a check, using the associated applicant ID.

Example onComplete callback:

Onfido.init({
  token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>',
  containerId: 'onfido-mount',
  onComplete: function (data) {
    console.log('everything is complete')
  },
})

data is an object that contains properties of the document and face images captured during the SDK flow.

For two-sided documents like driving_licence and national_identity_card, the object will also contain a document_back property representing the reverse side.

For the face step an object is returned with the variant used for the face capture,'standard' | 'video'. This informs whether to specify a facial_similarity_photo or facial_similarity_video report during check creation.

    {
       "document_front": {
         "id": "<DOCUMENT_ID_FRONT>",
         "type": "passport",
         "side": "front"
       },
       "face": {
         "id": "<FACE_ID>",
         "variant": "standard"
       },
       "document_back": {
         "id": "<DOCUMENT_ID_BACK>",
         "type": "driving_licence",
         "side": "back"
       },
       "poa": {
         "id": "<POA_DOCUMENT_ID>"
         "type": "utility_bill"
       }
    }

For the Auth step a data object is returned with parameters success, token, type, and uuid. The success variable informs whether or not the user was authenticated successfuly, whereas token is a JWT that can be used to validate the user authentication.

Example of an auth onComplete data callback:

    {
      "success": true,
      "token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUz...",
      "type": "complete",
      "uuid": "b3b9142d-3071-401d-821b-17ab134d4798"
    }

onError {Function} optional

Callback that fires when an error occurs. The callback returns the following error types:

• exception This will be returned for the following errors:

  • timeout and server errors
  • authorization
  • invalid token
  • missing data in onComplete callback
  • [Auth] exception handling API response

  This data can be used for debugging purposes.

{
  type: "exception",
  message: "The request could not be understood by the server, please check your request is correctly formatted"
}

• expired_token This error will be returned when a token has expired. This error type can be used to provide a new token at runtime.

{
  type: "expired_token",
  message: "The token has expired, please request a new one"
}

onUserExit {Function} optional

Callback that fires when the user abandons the flow without completing it.

The callback returns a string with the reason for leaving. For example, 'USER_CONSENT_DENIED' is returned when a user exits the flow because they declined the consent prompt.

Onfido.init({
  token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>',
  containerId: 'onfido-mount',
  onUserExit: function (userExitCode) {
    console.log(userExitCode)
  },
})

onModalRequestClose {Function} optional

Callback that fires when the user attempts to close the modal.

You can then decide to close the modal or keep it open by changing the property isModalOpen.

Removing the SDK

If you have embedded the SDK inside a single page app, you can call the tearDown function to remove the SDK completely from the current webpage. It will reset the state and you can safely re-initialize the SDK inside the same webpage later on.

onfidoOut = Onfido.init({...})
...
onfidoOut.tearDown()

Initialization options

• token {String} required

  A JWT is required in order to authorize with our WebSocket endpoint. If one isn’t present, an exception will be thrown.

• useModal {Boolean} optional

  Turns the SDK into a modal, which fades the background and puts the SDK into a contained box. The default value is false.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  <script> var onfido = {} function triggerOnfido() { onfido = Onfido.init({ useModal: true, isModalOpen: true, onModalRequestClose: function() { // Update options with the state of the modal onfido.setOptions({isModalOpen: false}) }, token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>', onComplete: function(data) { // callback for when everything is complete console.log("everything is complete") } }); }; </script> <body> <!-- Use a button to trigger the Onfido SDK --> <button onClick="triggerOnfido()">Verify identity</button> <div id='onfido-mount'></div> </body>

  <script>
      var onfido = {}
  
      function triggerOnfido() {
        onfido = Onfido.init({
          useModal: true,
          isModalOpen: true,
          onModalRequestClose: function() {
            // Update options with the state of the modal
            onfido.setOptions({isModalOpen: false})
          },
          token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>',
          onComplete: function(data) {
            // callback for when everything is complete
            console.log("everything is complete")
          }
        });
      };
  </script>
  
  <body>
    <!-- Use a button to trigger the Onfido SDK  -->
    <button onClick="triggerOnfido()">Verify identity</button>
    <div id='onfido-mount'></div>
  </body>
  

• isModalOpen {Boolean} optional

  Defines whether the modal is open or closed, if useModal is set to true. The default value is false.

  To change the state of the modal after calling init() you need to use setOptions().

• shouldCloseOnOverlayClick {Boolean} optional

  If useModal is set to true, by default the user can close the SDK by clicking on the close button or on the background overlay. You can disable the user's ability to close the SDK by clicking the background overlay through setting shouldCloseOnOverlayClick to false. The default value is true.

• autoFocusOnInitialScreenTitle {Boolean} optional

  Sets the SDK to auto focus on the initial screen's title. By default the SDK will auto focus on every screen's title. When disabled, auto focus will not be applied for the initial screen's title. The SDK will still auto focus to all subsequent screens' titles as the user goes through the steps. The default value is true.

• containerId {String} optional

  A string of the ID of the container element that the UI will mount to. This needs to be an empty element. The default ID is onfido-mount. If your integration needs to pass the container element itself, use containerEl as described next.

• containerEl {Element} optional

  The container element that the UI will mount to. This needs to be an empty element. This can be used as an alternative to passing in the container ID string previously described for containerId. Note that if containerEl is provided, then containerId will be ignored.

• smsNumberCountryCode {String} optional

  You can change the default country for the SMS number input by passing the smsNumberCountryCode option when the SDK is initialized. The value should be a string containing a 2-character ISO Country code. If empty, the SMS number country code will default to GB.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  smsNumberCountryCode: 'US'

  smsNumberCountryCode: 'US'
  

• userDetails {Object} optional

  The following user details can be specified ahead of time, so that the user doesn't need to provide the information themselves:

  • smsNumber (optional) : The user's mobile number, which can be used for sending SMS messages to the user, for example, when a user requests to use their mobile devices to take photos. The value should be a string containing the mobile number with a country code.
  JavaScript

  Copy

  userDetails: { smsNumber: '+447500123456' }

  userDetails: {
    smsNumber: '+447500123456'
  }
  

• steps {List} optional

  The list of different steps to be shown in the SDK flow and their custom options. Each step can either be specified as a string (when no customization is required) or an object (when customization is required).

  JavaScript

  Copy

  steps: [ { type: 'welcome', options: { title: 'Open your new bank account', }, }, 'document', 'face', ]

  steps: [
    {
      type: 'welcome',
      options: {
        title: 'Open your new bank account',
      },
    },
    'document',
    'face',
  ]
  

  See flow customization for details of the custom options for each step.

Customizing the SDK

The Web SDK has multiple customizable features that provide flexibility, while also being easy to integrate. You can also read our SDK customization guide.

UI customization

• customUI {Object} optional

  Please refer to the SDK UI customization documentation for details of the supported UI customization options that can be set in this property.

Language Localization

• language {String || Object} optional

  You can customize the language displayed on the SDK by passing a string or object. If language is not present the default copy will be in English.

  Supported languages

  The SDK supports and maintains the following languages. These can be implemented directly inside the SDK by passing the language option as a string containing the supported language tag.

  Language	Locale Tag
  English (default)	en_US
  German	de_DE
  Spanish	es_ES
  French	fr_FR
  Italian	it_IT
  Portuguese	pt_PT
  Dutch	nl_NL

  Example:

  JavaScript

  Copy

  language: 'es_ES' | 'es'

  language: 'es_ES' | 'es'
  

  Custom languages

  The SDK can also be displayed in a custom language for locales that Onfido does not currently support. To implement this, pass an object containing the following keys:

  Key	Description	Notes
  locale	required A locale tag.	This is required when providing phrases for an unsupported language. You can also use this to partially customize the strings of a supported language (e.g. Spanish), by passing a supported language locale tag (e.g. es_ES). For missing keys, the values will be displayed in the language specified within the locale tag if supported, otherwise they will be displayed in English. The locale tag is also used to override the language of the SMS body for the cross device feature. This feature is owned by Onfido and is currently only supports English, Spanish, French and German.
  phrases	required An object containing the keys you want to override and the new values.	The keys can be found in src/locales/en_US/en_US.json. They can be passed as a nested object or as a string using the dot notation for nested values. See the examples below.
  mobilePhrases	optional An object containing the keys you want to override and the new values.	The values specified within this object are only visible on mobile devices. Please refer to the mobilePhrases property in src/locales/en_US/en_US.json. Note: support for standalone mobilePhrases key will be deprecated soon. Consider nesting it inside phrases if applicable.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  language: { locale: 'en_US', phrases: { welcome: { title: 'My custom title' } }, mobilePhrases: { 'capture.driving_licence.instructions': 'This string will only appear on mobile' } }

  language: {
    locale: 'en_US',
    phrases: { welcome: { title: 'My custom title' } },
    mobilePhrases: {
      'capture.driving_licence.instructions': 'This string will only appear on mobile'
    }
  }
  

Flow customization

welcome

This step is the introduction screen of the SDK. It displays a summary of the capture steps the user will pass through. These steps can be specified to match the flow required. This is an optional screen.

The custom options are:

• title (string)
• descriptions ( [string])
• nextButton (string)

document

This is the identity document capture step. Users will be asked to select the document type and its issuing country before providing images of their selected document. They will also have a chance to check the quality of the image(s) before confirming.

Document type and document country selection is an optional screen. This screen will only show to the end user if specific options are not configured to the SDK.

The custom options are:

• documentTypes (object)

  The list of document types visible to the user can be filtered by using the documentTypes option. When documentTypes is not defined, the default value for each document type is true. When documentTypes is defined, it will override the default values. Absent types are considered false.

• country (string)

  Document country can be specified per document type. The country configuration for a document type allows you to specify the issuing country of the document as a string containing a 3-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code.

  If documentTypes only includes one document type with a country value, users will not see the document selection screen and instead will be taken directly to the capture screen.

  ⚠️ Note: the null value is deprecated and has no effect.

  ⚠️ Note: You can set the country for all document types except Passport. This is because passports have the same format worldwide so the SDK does not require this additional information.

For example, if you want to allow only Spanish (ESP) driving licences, and national identity cards and residence permits for all countries:

{
  "steps": [
    "welcome",
    {
      "type": "document",
      "options": {
        "documentTypes": {
          "driving_licence": {
            "country": "ESP"
          },
          "national_identity_card": true,
          "residence_permit": true
        }
      }
    },
    "complete"
  ]
}

• forceCrossDevice (boolean - default: false)

  The Web SDK offers a cross device flow where desktop users will be given the option to continue using their desktop browser or swap to using their mobile device browser to complete the capture process. If a user selects to use their mobile device they will be redirected via a secure link that they can receive by SMS or QR code to complete the flow. At the end of the capture process users will be redirected back to their desktop to complete the SDK flow.

  When forceCrossDevice is set to true, the cross device flow is mandatory for all users. Desktop users will be required to complete the capture process on a mobile device browser. Configuring this option minimises the risk of fraudulent upload by ensuring a higher likelihood of live capture.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  options: { forceCrossDevice: true }

  options: {
    forceCrossDevice: true
  }
  

• useLiveDocumentCapture (boolean - default: false) This feature is only available on mobile devices.

  When set to true, users on mobile browsers with camera support will be able to capture document images using an optimised camera UI, where the SDK directly controls the camera feed to ensure live capture. Configuring this option minimises the risk of fraudulent upload by bypassing the device's default camera application. For unsupported scenarios, see the uploadFallback section below.

  Tested on: Android Chrome 78.0.3904.108, iOS Safari 13

• uploadFallback (boolean - default: true) Only available when useLiveDocumentCapture is enabled.

  When useLiveDocumentCapture is set to true, the SDK will attempt to open an optimised camera UI for the user to take a live photo of the selected document. When this is not possible (because of an unsupported browser or mobile devices with no camera), by default the user will be presented with an HTML5 File Input upload because of uploadFallback. In this scenario, they will be able to use their mobile device's default camera application to take a photo.

  This method does not guarantee live capture, because certain mobile device browsers and camera applications may also allow uploads from the user's gallery of photos.

  ⚠️ Warning: If the mobile device does not have a camera or lacks camera browser support the user will not be able to complete the flow if uploadFallback is set to false.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  options: { useLiveDocumentCapture: true, uploadFallback: false }

  options: {
    useLiveDocumentCapture: true,
    uploadFallback: false
  }
  

poa

This is the Proof of Address capture step. Users will be asked to select the issuing country of their document, the document type, and to provide images of their selected document. They will also have a chance to check the quality of the images before confirming. There are no custom options for this step.

face

This is the face capture step. Users will be asked to capture their face in the form of a photo or a video. They will also have a chance to check the quality of the photo or video before confirming.

The custom options are:

• requestedVariant (string)

  A preferred variant can be requested for this step, by passing the option requestedVariant: 'standard' | 'video'. If empty, it will default to standard and a photo will be captured. If the requestedVariant is video, the SDK will try to fulfil this request depending on camera availability and device and browser support on the user's device. If a video cannot be taken, the face step will fallback to the standard photo option.

  If the SDK is initialized with the requestedVariant option for the face step, make sure you use the data returned in the onComplete callback to request the correct report when creating a check.

• uploadFallback (boolean - default: true)

  By default, the SDK will attempt to open an optimised camera UI for the user to take a live photo or video. When this is not possible (because of an unsupported browser or mobile devices with no camera), by default the user will be presented with an HTML5 File Input upload because of uploadFallback. In this scenario, they will be able to use their mobile device's default camera application to take a photo, but will not be presented with an optimised camera UI.

  This method does not guarantee live capture, because certain mobile device browsers and camera applications may also allow uploads from the user's gallery of photos.

  ⚠️ Warning: If the mobile device does not have a camera or lacks camera browser support the user will not be able to complete the flow if uploadFallback is set to false.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  options: { requestedVariant: 'standard' | 'video', uploadFallback: false }

  options: {
    requestedVariant: 'standard' | 'video',
    uploadFallback: false
  }
  

• useMultipleSelfieCapture (boolean - default: true)

  When enabled, this feature allows the SDK to take additional selfie snapshots to help improve face similarity check accuracy. When disabled, only one selfie photo will be taken.

• photoCaptureFallback (boolean - default: true)

  When enabled, this feature allows end-users to upload selfies if the requested variant is video and their browser does not support MediaRecorder.

  When disabled, it will forward the user to the cross-device flow in order to attempt to capture a video in another device. If the user is already in a mobile device and it does not support MediaRecorder, the unsupported browser error will be shown.

auth

This is the authentication step. If you have followed the guidelines specific to including authentication, you'll have this step made available. In here, a loading screen is presented to the user to fetch all necessary resources to perform authentication.

After all resources are loaded, the session is initialized, and the authentication check begins. An oval frame of the camera will be present (if camera permissions are provided) and actionable elements will render, asking the user to place their face in the frame, followed up by a different set of instructions for them to follow to successfully authenticate the user.

If the user is not a match, or conditions are not good enough to successfully authenticate, the user will be asked to retry authentication. If authentication is not possible (i.e. user performing authentication is not a match, doesn't provide optimal light/environment conditions, or doesn't follow instructions on screen), the page will rollback to the previous step. Custom option is:

• retries (number)

This option allows the integrator to set the maximum number of retries until authentication session is cancelled. Default maximum number of attempts is 3.

complete

This is the final completion step. The screen displays a completion message to signal the next steps to the user. This is an optional screen. The custom options are:

• message (string)
• submessage (string)

Cross device - mobile client introductory screen

When a user switches to the SDK's Cross Device flow, they will see an introductory screen when the SDK client loads on their mobile browser. ! Default Cross device mobile client introductory screen

• crossDeviceClientIntroProductName {String} optional

  You can customize the text by adding your company or product name to the subtitle with this option. We recommend that you set this, alongside the corresponding crossDeviceClientIntroProductLogoSrc below, to notify the user that this is part of a flow initiated on a desktop or laptop browser when they open the Cross Device link on their mobile browser. This is also an opportunity to include your branding in the SDK flow.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  Onfido.init({ token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>', crossDeviceClientIntroProductName: 'for a [COMPANY/PRODUCT NAME] loan', })

  Onfido.init({
    token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>',
    crossDeviceClientIntroProductName: 'for a [COMPANY/PRODUCT NAME] loan',
  })
  

  

• crossDeviceClientIntroProductLogoSrc {String} optional

  You can customize the icon by adding your company or product logo to be displayed instead of the default SDK icon image with this option. We recommend that you set this, alongside the corresponding crossDeviceClientIntroProductName above, to notify the user that this is part of a flow initiated on a desktop browser when they open the Cross Device link on their mobile browser. This is also an opportunity to include your branding in the SDK flow. The image used should be no more than 144px in both height and width.

  JavaScript

  Copy

  Onfido.init({ token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>', crossDeviceClientIntroProductLogoSrc: 'path://to/logo/image/file', })

  Onfido.init({
    token: '<YOUR_SDK_TOKEN>',
    crossDeviceClientIntroProductLogoSrc: 'path://to/logo/image/file',
  })
  

  ! Cross Device Client Intro screen with client product logo

Changing options in runtime

It's possible to change the options initialized at runtime:

onfidoOut = Onfido.init({...})

//Change the title of the welcome screen
onfidoOut.setOptions({
  steps:  [
    {
      type:'welcome',
      options:{title:"New title!"}
    },
    'document',
    'face',
    'complete'
  ]
});

//replace the jwt token
onfidoOut.setOptions({ token: '<YOUR_NEW_SDK_TOKEN>' });

//Open the modal
onfidoOut.setOptions({ isModalOpen:true });

The new options will be shallowly merged with the previous one, so you can only pass the differences to a get a new flow.

Creating checks

The SDK is responsible for the capture of identity documents and selfie photos and videos. It doesn't perform any checks against the Onfido API. You need to access the Onfido API in order to manage applicants and perform checks.

1. Creating a check

For a walkthrough of how to create a document and facial similarity check using the Web SDK read our Web SDK Quick Start guide.

For further details on how to create a check with the Onfido API.

Note: If you are testing with a sandbox token, please be aware that the results are pre-determined. You can learn more about sandbox responses.

Note: If you are currently using API v2 please refer to this migration guide for more information.

2. Setting up webhooks

Reports may not always return actual results straightaway.

You can set up webhooks to be notified upon completion of a check or report, or both.

User Analytics

The SDK allows you to track a user's journey through the verification process via a dispatched event. This gives insight into how your users make use of the SDK screens.

Overriding the hook

In order to track a user's progress through the SDK an EventListener must be added that listens for UserAnalyticsEvent events. This can be done anywhere within your application.

For example:

addEventListener('userAnalyticsEvent', (event) => /*Your code here*/);

The code inside of the EventListener will now be called when a particular event is triggered. For a full list of events see tracked events.

The parameter being passed in is an Event object. The details related to the user analytics event can be found at the path event.detail and are as follows:

Using the data

You can use the data to monitor how many users reach each screen in your flow. You can do this by storing the number of users that reach each screen and comparing that to the number of users who reached the Welcome screen.

Tracked events

Below is the list of potential events currently being tracked by the hook:

WELCOME - User reached the "Welcome" screen
USER_CONSENT - User reached the "User Consent" screen
DOCUMENT_TYPE_SELECT - User reached the "Choose document" screen where the type of document to upload can be selected
ID_DOCUMENT_COUNTRY_SELECT - User reached the "Select issuing country" screen where the the appropriate issuing country can be searched for and selected if supported
CROSS_DEVICE_INTRO - User reached the cross device "Continue on your phone" intro screen
CROSS_DEVICE_GET_LINK - User reached the cross device "Get your secure link" screen
CROSS_DEVICE_START - User reached the "document capture" screen on mobile after visiting the cross device link

TypeScript

From version 6.5.0, TypeScript is officially supported, providing typings for:

• init() method
• options argument (SdkOptions) and return object (SdkHandle) of init() method
• Arguments (SdkResponse and SdkError) for onComplete() and onError() callbacks
• steps option (StepTypes and StepConfig)
• language option (SupportedLanguages and LocaleConfig)

Troubleshooting

Content Security Policy issues

In order to mitigate potential cross-site scripting issues, most modern browsers use a Content Security Policy (CSP). These policies might prevent the SDK from correctly displaying the images captured during the flow or correctly load styles. If CSP is blocking some of the SDK functionalities, make sure you add the following snippet inside the <head> tag of your application.

<meta
  http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"
  content="
  default-src 'self' https://assets.onfido.com;
  script-src 'self' https://www.woopra.com https://assets.onfido.com https://sentry.io;
  style-src 'self' https://assets.onfido.com;
  connect-src 'self' data: blob: *.onfido.com wss://*.onfido.com https://www.woopra.com https://sentry.io;
  img-src 'self' data: blob: https://assets.onfido.com/;
  media-src blob:;
  object-src 'self' blob:;
  frame-src 'self' data: blob:;
"
/>

SDK navigation issues

In rare cases, the SDK back button might not work as expected within the application history. This is due to the interaction of history/createBrowserHistory with the browser history API. If you notice that by clicking on the SDK back button, you get redirected to the page that preceeded the SDK initialization, you might want to consider using the following configuration option when initialising the SDK: useMemoryHistory: true. This option allows the SDK to use the history/createMemoryHistory function, instead of the default history/createBrowserHistory. This option is intended as workaround, while a more permanent fix is implemented.

Example:

Onfido.init({
  useMemoryHistory: true,
})

Iframe camera and microphone permission issues

If embedded inside a cross-origin iframe, the SDK may fail to access the camera and microphone. This is a known issue on recent Chrome versions where requests fail in a similar way as if a user had denied a permission prompt. You may need to add the following allow attribute to your iframe:

<iframe src="..." allow="camera;microphone"></iframe>

Support

Please open an issue through GitHub. Please be as detailed as you can. Remember not to submit your token in the issue. Also check the closed issues to check whether it has been previously raised and answered.

If you have any issues that contain sensitive information please send us an email with the ISSUE: at the start of the subject to web-sdk@onfido.com.

Previous versions of the SDK will be supported for a month after a new major version release. Note that when the support period has expired for an SDK version, no bug fixes will be provided, but the SDK will keep functioning (until further notice).

How is the Onfido SDK licensed?

Please see LICENSE for licensing details.

• Public: An error message is now shown if the upload file has as unsupported file type.

0.8.1

Fixed

• Object.assign was being used but not polyfilled. Its occurrence was replaced with an es6 object construction.
• UI disappeared if the browser's windows width was smaller than 481px;

0.8.0

Changed

• Public: Captures are now returned as png instead of webp, although webp is still used internally for streaming to the server.
• Public: the captures returned by Onfido.getCaptures() have a simplified signature of just {id,image,documentType}.
• Public: It's now possible to open and close the modal by calling .setOptions({isModalOpen:boolean})
• Internal: The modal has been refactored to be fully reactive, vanilla-modal has been replaced with a fork of react-modal.
• Internal: Updated to onfido-sdk-core@0.6.0, selectors are now more general as in they are no longer specific to each capture type, some new selectors are also being used.
• Internal: Camera, Capture and Uploader have been refactored, the pure part of the components have been separated from the state logic part. This adds flexibility and encapsulation.
• Internal: The Capture component now orchestrates all the state logic of the Uploader component, this allows to join the camera and uploader state logic together.

Added

• Public: The capture screen UI now includes an upload button fallback, for whenever the user experiences problems with the webcam.
• Internal: When requesting to validate documents there is now a strategy to cope with slow responses from the server. If the number of unprocessed documents is 3+, the client stops sending more requests until a response is given.
• Internal: webp falls back to jpeg in case the browser does not support it.

0.7.0

Changed

• Public: onComplete event now fires only after both the document and face captures have been confirmed in the UI
• Internal: updated onfido-sdk-core to 0.5.0 which causes the all capture event to be triggered when captured are both valid and confirmed
• Internal: made the confirm button change the state of the capture to confirmed

Fixed

• Internal: sometimes when document was retaken multiple times the capture ended up squashed. This was fixed by upgrading to react-webcam@0.0.14.
• Internal: fixed Bug #36, it caused the face to be captured every second after a document retake.

0.6.1

Changed

• Public: Onfido.init() now returns an object.
• Internal: isDesktop detection is now based on [DetectRTC][detectrtc]'s isMobile detection
• Internal: improved Webcam Detection, it now takes into account wether a Webcam exists and if it the user has given the website permission to use it. Before it was only checking whether the getUserMedia API is supported by the browser or not. [DetectRTC][detectrtc] is used for this detection.

Added

• Public: it's now possible to change the init options at runtime by calling setOptions() on the object returned by Onfido.init()
• Public: useWebcam option added to the facial and document capture step

0.5.1

Fix

• SDK Core dependency update, fixes issue https://github.com/onfido/onfido-sdk-ui/issues/25Note: This update only changes the dist folder release, npm releases get the dependency update if they do npm install

0.5.0

Added

• API: Flow customization option steps:[]
• UI: Overlay to the webcam document capture (Possibly breaking change)
• DOC: Integration examples to documentation

Fixed

• NPM (commonjs2) style of importing the library now works

6.0.1 -> 6.1.0

Introduce migrate_locales script

From version 6.1.0, Web SDK will use a new locale key naming convention that better supports scalability. As a result, many key names will be changed and this might affect the integrator's custom locale options. The migrate_locales script will help integrators migrate from the older key name convention to the new one with minimal hassle.

To use the script:

• Upgrade onfido-sdk-ui package to latest version 6.1.0

• Create a JSON file containing custom locales which was fed to Onfido.init() method. For instance:

  JavaScript

  Copy

  // your-custom-language.json { "locale": "en_US", // untouched keys "phrases": { // required key "capture": { "driving_licence": { "front": { "instructions": "Driving license on web" } } }, "complete.message": "Complete message on web" }, "mobilePhrases": { // optional key "capture.driving_licence.front.instructions": "Driving licence on mobile", "complete": { "message": "Complete message on mobile" } } }

  // your-custom-language.json
  {
    "locale": "en_US",  // untouched keys
    "phrases": {        // required key
      "capture": {
        "driving_licence": {
          "front": {
            "instructions": "Driving license on web"
          }
        }
      },
      "complete.message": "Complete message on web"
    },
    "mobilePhrases": {  // optional key
      "capture.driving_licence.front.instructions": "Driving licence on mobile",
      "complete": {
        "message": "Complete message on mobile"
      }
    }
  }
  

• Consume the script directly from node_modules/.bin:

  shell

  Copy

  $ migrate_locales --help # to see the script's usage $ migrate_locales --list-versions # to list all supported versions Supported versions: * from v0.0.1 to v1.0.0 $ migrate_locales \ --from-version v0.0.1 \ --to-version v1.0.0 \ --in-file your-custom-language.json \ --out-file your-custom-language-migrated.json

  $ migrate_locales --help                # to see the script's usage
  
  $ migrate_locales --list-versions       # to list all supported versions
  
  Supported versions:
    * from v0.0.1 to v1.0.0
  
  $ migrate_locales \
    --from-version v0.0.1 \
    --to-version v1.0.0 \
    --in-file your-custom-language.json \
    --out-file your-custom-language-migrated.json
  

• The migrated data should look like this:

  JavaScript

  Copy

  // your-custom-language-migrated.json { "locale": "en_US", "phrases": { "new_screen": { // renamed key in nested object "driving_licence": { "front": { "instructions": "Driving license on web" } } }, "screen_1.complete.message": "Complete message on web", // 2 generated keys from 1 old key "screen_2.complete.message": "Complete message on web" "mobilePhrases": { // force nesting because standalone `mobilePhrases` will be deprecated soon "new_screen.driving_licence.front.instructions": "Driving licence on mobile", // renamed key in dot notation "screen_1": { // 2 generated keys from 1 old key "complete": { "message": "Complete message on mobile" } }, "screen_2": { "complete": { "message": "Complete message on mobile" } } } }, }

  // your-custom-language-migrated.json
  {
    "locale": "en_US",
    "phrases": {
      "new_screen": { // renamed key in nested object
        "driving_licence": {
          "front": {
            "instructions": "Driving license on web"
          }
        }
      },
      "screen_1.complete.message": "Complete message on web", // 2 generated keys from 1 old key
      "screen_2.complete.message": "Complete message on web"
      "mobilePhrases": { // force nesting because standalone `mobilePhrases` will be deprecated soon
        "new_screen.driving_licence.front.instructions": "Driving licence on mobile", // renamed key in dot notation
        "screen_1": { // 2 generated keys from 1 old key
          "complete": {
            "message": "Complete message on mobile"
          }
        },
        "screen_2": {
          "complete": {
            "message": "Complete message on mobile"
          }
        }
      }
    },
  }
  

• Notes: the script will preserve:

  • Order of the keys
  • Format: if your old keys are nested as an object, the migrated keys will be nested too. Otherwise, if your old keys are string with dot notation, the migrated keys will be string too.

5.10.0 -> 6.0.0

Change in UX flow for Document step

• Document step now has a Issuing Country Selection screen after the Document Type Selection screen. This screen is never displayed for passport documents and is disabled by default when only 1 document is preselected using the documentTypes option. This screen can still be included in the document capture flow of non-passport preselected documents by enabling the showCountrySelection option in the Document step configuration.

Example of Document step with Country Selection for a preselected non-passport document

{
  "steps": [
    "welcome",
    {
      "type": "document",
      "options": {
        "documentTypes": {
          "passport": false,
          "driving_licence": false,
          "national_identity_card": true
        },
        "showCountrySelection": true
      }
    },
    "complete"
  ]
}

Example of Document step without Country Selection for a preselected non-passport document (default behaviour)

{
  "steps": [
    "welcome",
    {
      "type": "document",
      "options": {
        "documentTypes": {
          "passport": false,
          "driving_licence": false,
          "national_identity_card": true
        },
        "showCountrySelection": false
      }
    },
    "complete"
  ]
}

Example of Document step configurations with preselected documents where Country Selection will still be displayed

{
  "steps": [
    "welcome",
    {
      "type": "document",
      "options": {
        "documentTypes": {
          "passport": true,
          "driving_licence": true,
          "national_identity_card": true
        }
      }
    },
    "complete"
  ]
}

{
  "steps": [
    "welcome",
    {
      "type": "document",
      "options": {

4.0.0 -> 5.0.0

We have changed the behaviour of the document step. If the document step is initialised with only one document type, the document selector screen will not be displayed. If your application relies on the document selector screen, even if you are picking only one document, you will have to implement that UI yourself.

3.1.0 -> 4.0.0

Import breaking changes

We have changed how the SDK is exported, in order to reduce redundant transpiled code and to better trim dead code too. This led to a size reduction overall.

However, this has potentially created a breaking change for those consuming the SDK with an ES style of import. Classic window style import and commonjs require should work the same.

Example of old behaviour

import Onfido from 'onfido-sdk-ui'

Onfido.init(...)

Example of new behaviour

import {init} from 'onfido-sdk-ui'
init(...)

or

import * as Onfido from 'onfido-sdk-ui'
Onfido.init(...)

Style Breaking change

• We have internally changed the CSS units used in the SDK to be relative (em) units.

Therefore, if you previously set the font-size of .onfido-sdk-ui-Modal-inner, it is recommended that you remove this font-size override.

This is because we are looking to make the SDK compatible with em, but first we need to remove media queries which are not really compatible with that unit.

Example of old behaviour

.onfido-sdk-ui-Modal-inner {
  font-size: 20px;
}

Example of new behaviour

.a-more-specific-selector {
  font-size: 20px;
}

2.8.0 -> 3.0.0

Breaking changes

• Removed support for buttonId. From this version you will need to create a function that launches the SDK when a trigger element (ie a button) is clicked.

Example of old behaviour

<script>
  Onfido.init({
    useModal: true,
    buttonId: 'onfido-btn',
    token: 'YOUR_JWT_TOKEN',
    onComplete: function (data) {
      // callback for when everything is complete
      console.log('everything is complete')
    },
  })
</script>

<body>
  <button id="onfido-btn">Verify identity</button>
  <div id="onfido-mount"></div>
</body>

Example of new behaviour

<script>
  var onfido = {}

  function triggerOnfido() {
    onfido = Onfido.init({
      useModal: true,
      isModalOpen: true,
      onModalRequestClose: function () {
        // Update options with the state of the modal
        onfido.setOptions({ isModalOpen: false })
      },
      token: 'YOUR_JWT_TOKEN',
      onComplete: function (data) {
        // callback for when everything is complete
        console.log('everything is complete')
      },
    })
  }
</script>

<body>
  <!-- Use a button to trigger the Onfido SDK  -->
  <button onClick="triggerOnfido()">Verify identity</button>
  <div id="onfido-mount"></div>
</body>

1.1.0 -> 2.0.0

Breaking changes

• Removed onDocumentCapture that used to be fired when the document had been successfully captured, confirmed by the user and uploaded to the Onfido API
• Removed onFaceCapture callbacks that used to be fired when the face has beed successfully captured, confirmed by the user and uploaded to the Onfido API.
• Removed getCaptures function that used to return the document and face files captured during the flow.
• Changed the behaviour of onComplete callback. It used to return an object that contained all captures, now it doesn't return any data.

Example of old behaviour

Onfido.init({
  token: 'YOUR_JWT_TOKEN',
  containerId: 'onfido-mount',
  onDocumentCapture: function (data) {
    /*callback for when the*/ console.log(
      'document has been captured successfully',
      data
    )
  },
  onFaceCapture: function (data) {
    /*callback for when the*/ console.log('face capture was successful', data)
  },
  onComplete: function (capturesHash) {
    console.log('everything is complete')
    // data returned by the onComplete callback including the document and face files captured during the flow
    console.log(capturesHash)
    // function that used to return the document and face files captured during the flow.
    console.log(Onfido.getCaptures())
  },
})

Example of new behaviour

Onfido.init({
  // the JWT token that you generated earlier on
  token: 'YOUR_JWT_TOKEN',
  // id of the element you want to mount the component on
  containerId: 'onfido-mount',
  onComplete: function () {
    console.log('everything is complete')
    // You can now trigger your backend to start a new check
  },
})
