// The information to be verified
const person = {nid: "1456782945", dob: "1999-11-29", name: "Asik Ahmed"};

porichoy.verify(person, s => {
  //s will return true if the verification succeed.
  if (s) {
    console.log("The person's NID is real");
  } else {
    console.log("The person's NID is fake");
  }
});
