Release v4.4.1

4.4.1

UI component

• We added a UI component in the format of a custom web element to use BlinkInput on your web in an effortless way.
• Check out the README file for instructions on how to use UI component, or check the ui directory for complete source code.

Performance improvements

• We've added three different flavors of WebAssembly builds to the SDK, to provide better performance across all browsers
  • Unless defined otherwise, the SDK will load the best possible bundle during initialization:
    • Basic Same as the existing WebAssembly build, most compatible, but least performant.
    • Advanced WebAssembly build that provides better performance but requires a browser with advanced features.
    • AdvancedWithThreads Most performant WebAssembly build which requires a proper setup of COOP and COEP headers on the server-side.
  • For more information about different WebAssembly builds and how to use them properly, check out the relevant section in our official documentation

SDK changes

• We've exposed a couple of functions that are used by the SDK to determine which WebAssembly bundle to load and from which location

  • Function detectWasmType() returns the best possible WebAssembly bundle based on the browser features.
  • Function wasmFolder( WasmType ) returns the name of the resources subfolder of the provided WebAssembly bundle type.
  • For more information about the declaration of mentioned functions, see WasmLoadUtils.ts file.

• Added support to flip camera view.

  • Method flipCamera has been added to VideoRecognizer class.

• Added support to set desired camera ID when scanning from camera.

  • Method createVideoRecognizerFromCameraStream has been extended in VideoRecognizer class.
