About The Project

This project provides a Flutter package for scanning South African identification documents. Supported documents include:

• ✅ South African ID Cards
• ✅ South African ID Books
• ✅ South African Driver's Licenses

Built With

• Flutter
• Firebase
• ML Kit

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Since this is a Flutter package, you will need to use it from within a Flutter App. A few resources to get you started with your first Flutter project:

• Lab: Write your first Flutter app
• Cookbook: Useful Flutter samples

Also, because this plugin makes use of Firebase ML Vision for scanning, you must configure Firebase for your project.

Installation

Add rsa_scan as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

iOS

First, configure Firebase for your iOS project.

Then, this package requires a minimum deployment target of 9.0. You can add the line platform :ios, '9.0' in your iOS project Podfile. You may also need to update your app's deployment target to 9.0 using Xcode. Otherwise, you may see compilation errors.

Finally, include MLVisionBarcodeModel in your Podfile. Then run pod update in a terminal within the same directory as your Podfile.

pod 'Firebase/MLVisionBarcodeModel'

Android

First, configure Firebase for your Android project.

Then, you will need to add the following dependencies in your app-level build.gradle file:

android{
    dependencies {
        ...
        implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:20.1.0'
        implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision-common:19.1.0'
    }
}

Finally, add the following declaration to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file:

<application ...>
    <!-- Used for firebase ML Vision -->
    <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.firebase.ml.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
            android:value="barcode" />
</application>

Usage

The package exposes 3 functions, namely scanIdCard, scanIdBook and scanDrivers.

A simple usage example of scanIdCard:

import 'package:rsa_scan/rsa_scan.dart';

RsaIdCard idCard = await scanIdCard(context);
print(idCard.idNumber);
print(idCard.firstNames);
print(idCard.surname);
print(idCard.gender);
// See the API reference for the full set of available properties

A simple usage example of scanIdBook:

import 'package:rsa_scan/rsa_scan.dart';

RsaIdBook idBook = await scanIdBook(context);
print(idBook.idNumber);
print(idBook.birthDate);
print(idBook.gender);
print(idBook.citizenshipStatus);
// See the API reference for the full set of available properties

A simple usage example of scanDrivers:

import 'package:rsa_scan/rsa_scan.dart';

RsaDriversLicense driversLicense = await scanDrivers(context);
print(driversLicense.idNumber);
print(driversLicense.birthDate);
print(driversLicense.gender);
print(driversLicense.citizenshipStatus);
// See the API reference for the full set of available properties
