Fingerprint is a device intelligence platform offering 99.5% accurate visitor identification. Fingerprint Pro React Native SDK is an easy way to integrate Fingerprint Pro into your React Native application to call the native Fingerprint Pro libraries (Android and iOS) and identify devices.
- Fingerprint Pro React Native
-
React Native 0.73 or higher
-
Android 5.0 (API level 21+) or higher
-
iOS 13+/tvOS 15+, Swift 5.7 or higher (stable releases)
-
Fingerprint Pro request filtering is not supported right now. Allowed and forbidden origins cannot be used.
-
Usage inside the Expo environment is not supported right now.
-
NPM:
npm install @fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs-pro-react-native --save
-
Yarn:
yarn add @fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs-pro-react-native
-
PNPM:
pnpm add @fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs-pro-react-native
cd ios && pod installTo declare the Fingerprint Maven repository, add the following declarations:
maven {
url("https://maven.fpregistry.io/releases")
}Add the repositories to your Gradle configuration file. The location for these additions depends on your project's structure and the Gradle version you're using:
For Gradle versions before 7.0, you likely have an allprojects block in {rootDir}/android/build.gradle. Add the Maven repositories within this block:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
}
maven {
// Android JSC is installed from npm
url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
}
maven {
url("https://maven.fpregistry.io/releases") // Add this
}
google()
}
}For Gradle 7.0 and higher (if you've adopted the new Gradle settings file approach), you likely manage repositories in the dependencyResolutionManagement block in {rootDir}/android/settings.gradle. Add the Maven repositories in this block:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS)
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven {
url("https://maven.fpregistry.io/releases") // Add this
}
}
}To identify visitors, you need a Fingerprint Pro account (you can sign up for free).
- Go to the Fingerprint Pro dashboard.
- Open App Settings > API Keys to find your Public API key.
Configure the SDK by wrapping your application in FingerprintJsProProvider.
// src/index.js
import React from 'react';
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import { FingerprintJsProProvider } from '@fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs-pro-react-native';
import App from './App';
const WrappedApp = () => (
<FingerprintJsProProvider
apiKey={'your-fpjs-public-api-key'}
region={'eu'}
>
<App />
</FingerprintJsProProvider>
);
AppRegistry.registerComponent('AppName', () => WrappedApp);Use the useVisitorData hook in your components to perform visitor identification and get the data.
// src/App.js
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { Text } from 'react-native';
import { useVisitorData } from '@fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs-pro-react-native';
function App() {
const {
isLoading,
error,
data,
getData,
} = useVisitorData();
useEffect(() => {
getData();
}, []);
if (isLoading) {
return <Text>Loading...</Text>;
}
if (error) {
return <Text>An error occured: {error.message}</Text>;
}
if (data) {
// perform some logic based on the visitor data
return (
<Text>
Visitor id is {data.visitorId}
</Text>
);
} else {
return null;
}
}
export default App;import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { FingerprintJsProAgent } from '@fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs-pro-react-native';
// ...
useEffect(() => {
async function getVisitorInfo() {
try {
const FingerprintClient = new FingerprintJsProAgent({ apiKey: 'PUBLIC_API_KEY', region: 'eu' }); // Region may be 'us', 'eu', or 'ap'
const visitorId = await FingerprintClient.getVisitorId(); // Use this method if you need only visitorId
const visitorData = await FingerprintClient.getVisitorData(); // Use this method if you need additional information about visitor
// use visitor data in your code
} catch (e) {
console.error('Error: ', e);
}
}
getVisitorInfo();
}, []);Two types of responses are supported: "default" and "extended". You don't need to pass any parameters to get the "default" response.
"Extended" is an extended result format that includes geolocation, incognito mode and other information.
It can be requested using the extendedResponseFormat: true parameter. See more details about the responses in the documentation.
Providing extendedResponseFormat using hooks:
return (
<FingerprintJsProProvider apiKey={PUBLIC_API_KEY} extendedResponseFormat={true}>
<App />
</FingerprintJsProProvider>
)Providing extendedResponseFormat using the API Client:
const FingerprintClient = new FingerprintJsProAgent({ apiKey: 'PUBLIC_API_KEY', region: 'eu', extendedResponseFormat: true }); // Region may be 'us', 'eu', or 'ap'
// =================================================================================================^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The visitorId provided by Fingerprint Identification is especially useful when combined with information you already know about your users, for example, account IDs, order IDs, etc. To learn more about various applications of the linkedId and tag, see Linking and tagging information.
const tag = {
userAction: 'login',
analyticsId: 'UA-5555-1111-1'
};
const linkedId = 'user_1234';
// Using hooks
const { getData } = useVisitorData();
const visitorData = await getData(tag, linkedId);
// Using the client
const FingerprintClient = new FingerprintJsProAgent({ apiKey: 'PUBLIC_API_KEY'});
const visitorId = await FingerprintClient.getVisitorId(tag, linkedId);
const visitor = await FingerprintClient.getVisitorData(tag, linkedId); See the full generated API Reference.
