React Native Fingerprint Scanner

Looking for Maintainers

This project is no longer actively maintained by the previous maintainers. If you would like to propose a PR we can merge it though, it needs your effort to continue!

React Native Fingerprint Scanner is a React Native library for authenticating users with Fingerprint (TouchID).

iOS Version

The usage of the TouchID is based on a framework, named Local Authentication.

It provides a Default View that prompts the user to place a finger to the iPhone’s button for scanning.

Android Version

4.0.0 Prefers the new native Android BiometricPrompt lib on any Android >= v23 (M) 4.0.0 also DEPRECATES support for the legacy library that provides support for Samsung & MeiZu phones

3.0.2 and below: Using an expandable Android Fingerprint API library, which combines Samsung and MeiZu's official Fingerprint API.

Samsung and MeiZu's Fingerprint SDK supports most devices which system versions less than Android 6.0.

Installation

$ npm install react-native-fingerprint-scanner --save

or

$ yarn add react-native-fingerprint-scanner

Automatic Configuration

For RN >= 0.60

$ cd ios && pod install

For RN < 0.60, use react-native link to add the library to your project:

$ react-native link react-native-fingerprint-scanner

Manual Configuration

iOS

In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-fingerprint-scanner and add ReactNativeFingerprintScanner.xcodeproj
To add the library "libReactNativeFingerprintScanner.a" to your project in XCode:
- In the project navigator, select your project.
- Click on the "Build Phases" tab.
- Under "Link Binary With Libraries", click the "+" button to add a new library.
- Search for "libReactNativeFingerprintScanner.a" and select it.
- Click "Add" to add the library to your project.
Run your project (Cmd+R)

Android

Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java

Add import com.hieuvp.fingerprint.ReactNativeFingerprintScannerPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
Add new ReactNativeFingerprintScannerPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-fingerprint-scanner'
project(':react-native-fingerprint-scanner').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fingerprint-scanner/android')

Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:
```

```

App Permissions

Add the following permissions to their respective files:

Android

In your AndroidManifest.xml:

API level 28+ (Uses Android native BiometricPrompt) (Reference)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC" />

API level 23-28 (Uses Android native FingerprintCompat) Reference)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />

// DEPRECATED in 4.0.0 API level <23 (Uses device-specific native fingerprinting, if available - Samsung & MeiZu only) Reference)

Starts Fingerprint authentication on iOS.

Returns a Promise
description: String - the string to explain the request for user authentication.

componentDidMount() {
  FingerprintScanner
    .authenticate({ description: 'Scan your fingerprint on the device scanner to continue' })
    .then(() => {
      this.props.handlePopupDismissed();

    });
}

Returns a Promise
title: String the title text to display in the native Android popup
subTitle: String the sub title text to display in the native Android popup
description: String the description text to display in the native Android popup
cancelButton: String the cancel button text to display in the native Android popup
onAttempt: Function - a callback function when users are trying to scan their fingerprint but failed.

componentDidMount() {
  if (requiresLegacyAuthentication()) {
    authLegacy();
  } else {
    authCurrent();
  }
}

componentWillUnmount = () => {
  FingerprintScanner.release();
}

requiresLegacyAuthentication() {
  return Platform.Version < 23;
}

authCurrent() {
  FingerprintScanner
    .authenticate({ title: 'Log in with Biometrics' })
    .then(() => {
      this.props.onAuthenticate();
    });
}

authLegacy() {
  FingerprintScanner
    .authenticate({ onAttempt: this.handleAuthenticationAttemptedLegacy })
    .then(() => {
      this.props.handlePopupDismissedLegacy();
      Alert.alert('Fingerprint Authentication', 'Authenticated successfully');
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      this.setState({ errorMessageLegacy: error.message, biometricLegacy: error.biometric });
      this.description.shake();
    });
}

handleAuthenticationAttemptedLegacy = (error) => {
  this.setState({ errorMessageLegacy: error.message });
  this.description.shake();
};

`release()`: (Android)

Stops fingerprint scanner listener, releases cache of internal state in native code, and cancels native prompt if visible.

Returns a Void

componentWillUnmount() {
  FingerprintScanner.release();
}

`Types of Biometrics`

Value	OS	Description
Touch ID	iOS
Face ID	iOS
Biometrics	Android	Refers to the biometric set as preferred on the device

`Errors`

Name	Message
AuthenticationNotMatch	No match
AuthenticationFailed	Authentication was not successful because the user failed to provide valid credentials
AuthenticationTimeout	Authentication was not successful because the operation timed out
AuthenticationProcessFailed	'Sensor was unable to process the image. Please try again
UserCancel	Authentication was canceled by the user - e.g. the user tapped Cancel in the dialog
UserFallback	Authentication was canceled because the user tapped the fallback button (Enter Password)
SystemCancel	Authentication was canceled by system - e.g. if another application came to foreground while the authentication dialog was up
PasscodeNotSet	Authentication could not start because the passcode is not set on the device
DeviceLocked	Authentication was not successful, the device currently in a lockout of 30 seconds
DeviceLockedPermanent	Authentication was not successful, device must be unlocked via password
DeviceOutOfMemory	Authentication could not proceed because there is not enough free memory on the device
HardwareError	A hardware error occurred
FingerprintScannerUnknownError	Could not authenticate for an unknown reason
FingerprintScannerNotSupported	Device does not support Fingerprint Scanner
FingerprintScannerNotEnrolled	Authentication could not start because Fingerprint Scanner has no enrolled fingers
FingerprintScannerNotAvailable	Authentication could not start because Fingerprint Scanner is not available on the device
