Incode React Native SDK reference

Orientation and routing hub for the Incode React Native SDK - identity capture, liveness, NFC, face authentication, dashboard flows, and native UI modules for Android and iOS.

The Incode React Native SDK exposes Incode's native onboarding SDKs through a typed JavaScript API. Apps initialize IncodeSdk, configure a dashboard flow or local flowConfig, subscribe to step events, and then launch native UI for ID capture, selfie, face match, NFC, consent, scoring, approval, and other verification modules.

How the SDK fits together

The SDK supports three integration paths. They differ in where the flow is configured and how much orchestration your app owns.

Path 1: Online flow

Build a flow or workflow on the Incode Dashboard, pass its configurationId through sessionConfig, and call the corresponding start method (startWorkflow() for Workflows, startFlow() for Flows). The SDK owns the native UI from the first screen to the last and returns progress through listeners.

See Run Flows Configured Online.

Path 2: Local full onboarding flow

Build a local flowConfig array with modules such as IdScan, SelfieScan, and FaceMatch, then pass it to startOnboarding(). The SDK runs the configured modules in order and returns the final flow status.

See Configure Flows Locally and Run End to End.

Path 3: Section-by-section flow

Create a session with setupOnboardingSession(), run one or more startOnboardingSection() calls, and close the session with finishOnboardingFlow(). Use this when your app needs to show custom screens or business logic between Incode modules. You can start multiple sections, but only one at a time; startOnboardingSection accepts the same config and modules as startOnboarding.

See Configure Flows Locally and Run Step by Step.

Variants

The SDK is published in several variants (Standard, Streaming, Face Login, NFC). See Installation for the full variant list and when to use each.

What the SDK can do

  • Identity capture - ID scan, document capture, OCR extraction, and manual review screens.
  • Liveness and biometrics - selfie, video selfie, face match, face authentication, and Face Login.
  • NFC / e-passport - read and validate supported NFC chip data.
  • Compliance steps - consent, government validation, watchlists, AES, user score, and approval.
  • Customization - theming, localization, close-button behavior, UX config, and dynamic strings.
