Scandit ID Bolt

ID Bolt is a pre-built ID scanning workflow that seamlessly integrates into any website allowing users to scan their identity documentation in just one second. ID Bolt works on-device, via desktop and mobile in a unified solution, ensuring no identity information is collected by third-party servers and reduces latency for quick scanning performance.

Get started

Add the ID Bolt client as a dependency:

npm i @scandit/web-id-bolt

Copy the following snippet to get started.

Your application defines when the ID Bolt pop-up is opened. In this snippet, we open it after a click on a button present in the page:

import {
	Passport,
	IdCard,
	DriverLicense,
	VisaIcao,
	DocumentSelection,
	IdBoltSession,
	Region,
	ReturnDataMode,
	Validators,
} from "@scandit/web-id-bolt";

const ID_BOLT_URL = "https://app.id-scanning.com";

async function startIdBolt() {
	// initialization of the ID Bolt session
	const idBoltSession = IdBoltSession.create(ID_BOLT_URL, {
		licenseKey: "<<YOUR LICENSE KEY>>",
		// define which documents are allowed to be scanned. More complex rules can be added.
		documentSelection: DocumentSelection.create({
			accepted: [
				new Passport(Region.Any),
				new IdCard(Region.Any),
				new DriverLicense(Region.Any),
				new VisaIcao(Region.Any),
			],
		}),
		// define what data you expect in the onCompletion listener (set below)
		returnDataMode: ReturnDataMode.Full,
		// add validation rules on the scanned document
		validation: [Validators.notExpired()],
		locale: "en-US",
		onCompletion: (result) => {
			// the ID has been captured and validation was successful. In this example the result
			// will contain the document data because `returnDataMode` was set to ReturnDataMode.Full.
			alert(`Thank you ${result.capturedId?.fullName ?? ""}`);
		},
		onCancellation: (reason) => {
			// the ID Bolt pop-up has been terminated without a succesful scan
		},
	});
	// open the pop-up
	await idBoltSession.start();
}

// open ID Bolt when some button is clicked
const someButton = document.getElementById("someButton");
someButton.addEventListener("click", startIdBolt);

For completeness this is the HTML you will need for the example:

<button id="someButton">Start ID Bolt</button>

If you have Content-Security-Policy headers (CSP) which prevent loading iframes on your page, you need to adapt the value like so:

frame-src 'self' https://app.id-scanning.com https://id-service.scandit.com
