Metric React Native SDK 2 Integration Guide

Overview​

MetricSDK is a React Native library designed to facilitate token-based identity verification through the Metric Africa service. The SDK provides methods to initiate token verification and check the status of a verification token, as well as a modal for displaying the verification process.

Features​

  • Token Verification: Initiate token-based verification processes with configurable parameters.
  • Token Status Check: Retrieve the status of verification tokens.
  • Verification Modal: Seamless integration with a react native modal for user interactions.

Prerequisite​

You should have the following already installed

react-native-webview
react-native-safe-area-context

You should also have camera permissions set up for the application. You can do it on each platform's config; build.gradle for Android or info.plist for iOS. You can also do that in the app.json file:

Camera permissions for iOS:

{
  "ios": {
    // ...
    "infoPlist": {
      "NSCameraUsageDescription": "To allow Metric Example App access your camera in order to verify your identity."
    }
  }
}

Camera permissions for Android:

{
  "android": {
    // ...
    "permissions": ["android.permission.CAMERA"]
  }
}
