PrismaID Web SDK

Version Size Types

Overview

The PrismaID Web SDK is intended to be used in a web application and collect signals created by a PrismaID tag. The PrismaID Web SDK will internally talk to the Soulmade Origins Decoder Backend and decode that signal. The result is sent back to the application through a callback. In addition to information related to the decoded data, there are events for user interaction and potential hints to improve reading results.

Authentication

To use this SDK, you need a valid API-Key. For testing purposes, you can use the key SCvL5XDWme6pOy0Cbi6UN4WBGJSkEboM9y0fXo7T which is limited to detection of our standard Demo Set. See www.soulmade-origins.com for additional information.

Install

npm install @soulmade/prismaid

Usage

At the moment we provided three minimalistic samples how to use the Web SDK in

Javascript application
Ionic application
React application

Use SDK in Javascript application

It is assumed that one is experienced to create a web application, so we will not go too much into detail here. The SDK needs to collect raw touch events from any HTML element, in our example a canvas. Therefore, we will need a simple HTML page with a canvas. Secondly, the page has to include our JavaScript sample file.

API reference

`class PrismaSDK`

public expectedCodeType?: CodeType

Set this property if your application supports detection of multiple CodeTypes, but you at this point in time you expect only a specific one.

public expectedCodeHeight?: number

Set this property if your application requires the user to swipe a specific height on the card, but at this point in time you don't need to set it.

public expectedSwipingGesture?: SwipingGesture

Set this property if your application supports multiple SwipingGestures, but you at this point in time you expect only a specific one.

public isFirstStart: boolean

This property tells you if the application was started for the first time on this device/browser (determined using cookie).

constructor(APIKey: string, serverURL: string = "https://api.soulmade-origins.net/prismaid")

The APIKey identifies your application towards the server. serverURL is a optional parameter used to override the API baseURL of the SDK. You can use https://api-dev.soulmade-origins.net/prismaid to connect to the development environment. However, you will need a different APIKey there.

function pause()

Call this method to stop the SDK from recording any signals and processing them. All currently open operations will still be finished and responses will be sent.

function resume()

Call this to resume normal operation of the SDK.

function resetManual()

Call this to manually reset the operations of the SDK.

function isRunningStandalone(): boolean

This method will tell you if the application is currently executed in "standalone" mode (e.g. iOS home screen).

function setCustomPayload(jsonObject: any): boolean

Use this function to set a custom payload (JSON compatible object) to the server. This is only required, if your application requires a callback from the PrismaID backend to your own backend servers. Needs to be configured for your APIKey first. Method returns true if a valid payload was provided.

function setLanguage(language: string | undefined)

This method will force the SDK to return localized event in a specific language. Provide a lowercase countrycode here (de, en, ...). If the specified localization doesn't exist, falls back to en.

`enum CodeType`

{
    Axel = "Axel",
    AxelZip = "AxelZip",
    AxelZipShort = "AxelZipShort",
    Displacement = "Displacement",
    DisplacementKey = "DisplacementKey",
    Tick = "Tick",
    Pack = "Pack",
    Tornado = "Tornado",
    DisplacementZip = "DisplacementZip",
    DisplacementZipShort = "DisplacementZipShort",
}

`enum SwipingGesture`

{
    singleSwipe,
    scratch,
    tick,
}

Subscriptions

Use subscriptions to get notified of different events that happen before, during or after PrismaID use.

`InitialisationResponse`

Evaluate this response the get device specific information, like support and display density.

public codeSetTypes: CodeType[]

public ppi: number

public devicePixelRatio: number

public clientConfig: ClientConfig

public deviceSupport: DeviceSupport

public isDisplayZoomEnabled: boolean

The sdk sets this to true if it detects a display zoom setting enabled on the smartphone.

TutorialResponse

Use this response to initialize PrismaID-Tutorial.

public ppi: number

public devicePixelRatio: number

public deviceSupport: DeviceSupport

public slideTypes: TutorialSlideType[] = []

DecoderResponseSuccess

Use this response to find out about a successfully detected PrismaID.

public readonly codeId: string

ID of the PrismaID.

public readonly codeSet: string

CodeSet name of the PrismaID.

public readonly probability: number

Probability (0-1) that this detection is correct.

public readonly direction: string

The direction of the user interaction.

public readonly rawData: any

Raw data of the response, only required in combination with setCustomPayload().

DecoderResponseError

Use this response to find out when a detection failed.

public readonly errorCode: string

Error reason code.

public readonly message: string

Technical error message. Do not display this to the user.

public readonly hints: DecoderHint[] = []

List of potential hints for the user to improve results. Do not use directly, use HintResponse instead.

public readonly rawData: any

Raw data of the response, only required in combination with setCustomPayload().

InteractionResponse

Use this response to find out about PrismaID interaction events.

public event: string

"started" - Interaction with the device started. This typically happens, when the user touches the screen with finger or PrismaID.
"changed" - Triggered when specific characteristics of the signal change, only required for special applications.
"complete" - Interaction with the device finished. This typically happens, when the user removed PrismaID and finger from the screen.

ProgressResponse

Use this response to find about the progress of user interaction.

public progress: number

Value between 0 and 100. When value reached 100, user can take PrismaID off the screen.

public direction: SwipeDirection

Current direction of the interaction.

public scratchRound: number

For scratch codes, the number of "rounds" the user scratched.

HintResponse

Use this response to show hints to the user after a failed detection.

public code: string

public type: string

public message: string

UsabilityResponse

Use this to response to guide the user through the PrismaID detection and give feedback about incorrect interaction.

public event: string

"browser_not_supported" - Current browser is on blacklist of unsupported browsers.
"browser_support_unknown" - Current browser is unknown.
"device_not_supported" - Current device is on blacklist of unsupported devices.
"display_too_small_displacement", "display_too_small_pack", "display_too_small_tick", "display_too_small_tornado" - The display of this device is too small to fit the PrismaID.
"hold_card_below_swipe" - User is not holding the PrismaID in the bottom.
"hold_with_one_finger_only" - User uses multiple fingers to hold the PrismaID.
"pick_up_code_from_display" - User should pick up the PrismaID from screen.
"display_small_should_add_to_home" - Display is too small without adding the application to home screen and run in standalone mode.
"take_device_in_hand" - User should take the device in their hands, not place them on a table. This usually improves detection accuracy.

public payload?: any

Some events come with a specific payload of additional data, e.g. a list of device specific usage requirements.
