Personal Validation System Flutter Plugin

A Flutter plugin for identity verification and validation. This plugin provides a complete solution for validating personal identification documents, performing face matching, and verifying personal information.

Features

• Capture and validate ID documents (front and back)
• Take a selfie for face matching
• Validate personal information against the ID document
• Perform face matching between selfie and ID photo
• Phone number validation
• Beautiful and intuitive UI for user interaction

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Flutter SDK (3.3.0 or later)
• Dart SDK (3.7.0 or later)
• Android Studio / Xcode (for running on emulators/simulators)
• A device with a camera (for testing on real devices)
• A running instance of the Personal Validation System API

Installation

1. Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  personal_validation_system: ^0.0.1

2. Install the package:

flutter pub get

3. Import the package in your Dart code:

import 'package:personal_validation_system/personal_validation_system.dart';

Configuration

API Endpoint

By default, the plugin is configured to use a sample API endpoint. You'll need to update this to point to your own instance of the Personal Validation System API.

Update the API endpoint in the ValidationApiService class:

final response = await _dio.post(
  'YOUR_API_ENDPOINT/api/validate/kenyan-id',
  data: formData,
  options: Options(
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
      'Accept': 'application/json',
    },
  ),
);

Required Permissions

Android

Add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Add the following to your Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>We need access to your camera to take photos of your ID and selfie</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>We need access to your photo library to upload ID photos</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>We need access to your microphone for video verification</string>

Usage

    builder: (context) => IdentityVerificationScreen(),
  ),
);

Customization

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the verification screens by extending the provided widgets or creating your own implementation.
