# react-native-fingerprint-android Full fingerprint authentication for react native (android only).

_Pictured: the example project, located at `/example`_ ## Example This is a simplified version. There are a few more concerns you should be aware of. [see 'Watch out!'](#watch-out) For the full version, see the `example` directory. ```js import Fingerprint from 'react-native-fingerprint-android'; import { ToastAndroid as Toast } from 'react-native'; (async() => { const hardware = await Fingerprint.isHardwareDetected(); const permission = await Fingerprint.hasPermission(); const enrolled = await Fingerprint.hasEnrolledFingerprints(); if (!hardware || !permission || !enrolled) { let message = !enrolled ? 'No fingerprints registered.' : !hardware ? 'This device doesn\'t support fingerprint scanning.' : 'App has no permission.' Toast.show(message, Toast.SHORT); return; } try { await Fingerprint.authenticate(warning => { Toast.show(`Try again: ${warning.message}`, Toast.SHORT); }); } catch(error) { Toast.show(`Authentication aborted: ${error.message}`, Toast.SHORT); } Toast.show("Auth successful!", Toast.SHORT); })(); ``` ## API All functions & constants are static. #### `.authenticate(warningCallback:?(response:FingerprintError) => {}):Promise` Starts authentication flow, with a optional callback for warning messages, instructing your user why authentication failed. Returns a Promise. ###### Resolving Authentication was successful if this promise gets resolved. There are no parameters. ###### Rejection Authentication has failed if the promise gets rejected. Callback will receive a single parameter with the following structure: (example) ```json { "code": 1, "message": "The hardware is unavailable. Try again later." } ``` This code will be match one of the following constants in the FingerprintAndroid module: | Constant | Description | |--------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ERROR_CANCELED | The operation was canceled because the fingerprint sensor is unavailable. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ERROR_HW_UNAVAILABLE | The hardware is unavailable. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ERROR_LOCKOUT | The operation was canceled because the API is locked out due to too many attempts. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ERROR_NO_SPACE | Error state returned for operations like enrollment; the operation cannot be completed because there's not enough storage remaining to complete the operation. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ERROR_TIMEOUT | Error state returned when the current request has been running too long. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ERROR_UNABLE_TO_PROCESS | Error state returned when the sensor was unable to process the current image. | _For more info on the constants, [see Android FingerprintManager docs](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/fingerprint/FingerprintManager.html)_ ###### warningCallback warningCallback is the only and optional parameter to `.authenticate()`. If present, warningCallback gets called with a single parameter, a object with the following structure: ```json { "code": 1, "message": "Only acquired a partial fingerprint. Try again." } ``` This code will be match one of the following constants in FingerprintAndroid: | Constant | Description | |------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ACQUIRED_IMAGER_DIRTY | The fingerprint image was too noisy due to suspected or detected dirt on the sensor. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ACQUIRED_INSUFFICIENT | The fingerprint image was too noisy to process due to a detected condition | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ACQUIRED_PARTIAL | Only a partial fingerprint image was detected. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ACQUIRED_TOO_FAST | The fingerprint image was incomplete due to quick motion. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ACQUIRED_TOO_SLOW | The fingerprint image was unreadable due to lack of motion. | | FingerprintAndroid.FINGERPRINT_ACQUIRED_AUTH_FAILED | Custom constant added by react-native-fingerprint-android, to simplify API. This code is used when a [fingerprint was recognized but not valid.](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/fingerprint/FingerprintManager.AuthenticationCallback.html#onAuthenticationFailed()) | _For more info on the constants, [see Android FingerprintManager docs](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/fingerprint/FingerprintManager.html)_ #### `.isAuthenticationCanceled(): Promise` Tells you whether or not authentication is running or not. #### `.hasPermission(): Promise` Will check if `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` is granted to this app. (should always return true if you add the permission to your AndroidManifest...) #### `hasEnrolledFingerprints(): Promise` Determine if there is at least one fingerprint enrolled. #### `isHardwareDetected(): Promise` Determine if fingerprint hardware is present and functional. #### `cancelAuthentication` Manually cancel the authentication, this is required to follow the design principles in [the design guidelines](https://material.google.com/patterns/fingerprint.html). When called this will trigger a rejection of the original authenticate promise. ## Watch out! React Native Fingerprint Android is mostly just a set of bindings to Android FingerprintManager. Alas, _it's very low level_. You are still responsible for: - Making sure the device has fingerprints enrolled by calling `FingerprintAndroid.hasEnrolledFingerprints()` (if you don't check this before starting authentication, **any valid fingerprint will be accepted**) - Making sure your app has proper permissions setup (see installation guide below) - Making sure device has supported hardware by calling `FingerprintAndroid.isHardwareDetected()` - [Making sure you display the correct icon, as defined by the design guidelines.](https://material.google.com/patterns/fingerprint.html) - Restarting authentication if screen turns off. (see example project for on an example on how to do that) If you don't do any of the checks before calling `FingerprintAndroid.authenticate`, it will either **directly fail, or your app will contain security vulnerabilities.** ## Installation `npm i react-native-fingerprint-android --save` Whether you're using the automatic installation method or not, don't forget to add the permission to your manifest: `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml` ```diff

+ ``` ### Automatic installation (recommended) Run `react-native link` after npm install. That should be it. ### Manual installation Same old, same old... `android/app/build.gradle` ```diff dependencies { + compile project(path: ':react-native-fingerprint-android') compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"]) compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1" compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules } ``` `android/settings.gradle` ```diff include ':app' +include ':react-native-fingerprint-android' +project(':react-native-fingerprint-android').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fingerprint-android/android') ``` `android/app/src/main/java/com.your.package/MainApplication.java` ```diff import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; +import io.jari.fingerprint.FingerprintPackage; ``` ```diff @Override protected List getPackages() { return Arrays.asList( - new MainReactPackage() + new MainReactPackage(), + new FingerprintPackage() ); } ``` ## Todo - [ ] CryptoObject support - [ ] [Samsung fingerprint SDK?](http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/pass)
