Flutter plugin for BlinkID, SDK for scanning and OCR of various identity documents.

BlinkID SDK Flutter plugin #

This repository contains Flutter wrappers for BlinkID native SDKs (iOS and Android). Not all features of native SDKs are available. However, the wrapper is open source so you can add features that you need. For 100% of features and maximum control, consider using native SDKs.

Requirements #

BlinkID plugin is developed with Flutter SDK version 1.17.11. For help with Flutter, view official documentation.

Getting Started #

To get started, first create empty project if needed:

flutter create project_name

Add the blinkid_flutter dependency to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  ...
  blinkid_flutter:

Quick start with sample app #

To try BlinkID plugin, you can generate a minimal sample application. To do so run ./initFlutterDemo.sh script.

To run sample application, use the following commands:

cd sample/
flutter run

If there are problems with running the application, please make sure you have properly configured tools by running flutter doctor. You can also try running the application from VSCode, Android Studio or Xcode.

Plugin usage #

  1. Perform scanning by calling the method MicroblinkScanner.scanWithCamera() and passing it the RecognizerCollection and OverlaySettings you wish to use, along with your license key. To find out more about licensing, click here.
Future<void> scan() async {
    List<RecognizerResult> results;
    
    Recognizer recognizer = BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer();
    OverlaySettings settings = BlinkIdOverlaySettings();

    // set your license
    if (Theme.of(context).platform == TargetPlatform.iOS) {
      license = "";
    } else if (Theme.of(context).platform == TargetPlatform.android) {
      license = "";
    }

    try {
      // perform scan and gather results
      results = await MicroblinkScanner.scanWithCamera(RecognizerCollection([recognizer]), settings, license);

    } on PlatformException {
      // handle exception
    }
  1. When scanning is completed, variable results will contain a list of non-empty RecognizerResults from recognizers set in RecognizerCollection. You can then access each result individually. If the scanning is manually closed, the method will return an empty list.

For more information please refer to our sample application source code.

Available API #

All available recognizers can be found inside BlinkID/lib/recognizers.

All available overlays can be found inside BlinkID/lib/overlays.

For 100% of features and maximum control, consider using native SDK.

Platform specifics #

Plugin implementation is in folder lib, while platform specific implementations are in android and ios folders.

Android

Android folder is fully initialized after running ./initFlutterDemo.sh. The script will replace default MainActivity.java with the ./sample_files/MainActivity.java. This is important, because the plugin works only if MainActivity extends io.flutter.app.FlutterActivity and if it is registered in the following way MicroblinkFlutterPlugin.registerWith(registrarFor("com.microblink.flutter.MicroblinkFlutterPlugin")).

iOS

To initialize BlinkID framework for use with iOS, after you've added the dependency to blinkid_flutter to your pubspec.yaml, go to NameOfYourProject/iosand run pod install. Our blinkid_flutter depends on the latest PPBlinkID pod so it will be installed automatically.

To set camera permission usage message, open NameOfYourProject/ios/Runner.xcworkspace and under Runner/Runner/Info.plist set Privacy - Camera Usage Description.

Licensing #

  • Generate a free trial license key to start using the SDK in your app (registration required)
  • Get information about pricing and licensing of BlinkID
