Getting Started

Full documentation is available at Smile ID Documentation

0. Requirements

• Node.js >=16.0
• React Native >=0.70
• A smile_config.json file from Smile ID Portal
• See: Android Requirements for Android specific requirements.
• See: iOS Requirements for iOS specific requirements.

1. Dependency

The latest release is available on npm

Add the dependency to your package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@smile_identity/react-native": "<latest-version>"
  }
}

2. Smile Config

Android

Place the smile_config.json file under your application's assets, located at src/main/assets (This should be at the same level as your java and res directories). You may need to create the directory if it does not already exist.

iOS

Drag the smile_config.json into your project's file inspector and ensure that the file is added to your app's target. Confirm that it is by checking the Copy Bundle Resources drop down in the Build Phases tab as shown below.

3. Initialization

Initialize the Smile ID SDK in your app's entry file (normally index.tsx) by calling initialize:

import { initialize } from 'rn-smile-id';
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';

const App = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    initialize().then(() => console.log('Smile ID Initialized'));
  }, []);

  return (
    // ...rest of your component
  );
};

export default App;
