Flutter 🦅

Our CardScan Flutter widget makes it easy to add insurance card scanning to any Flutter application in 5 minutes or less.

Installation

Add the insurance_card_scanner package to your pubspec.yaml file.
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
insurance_card_scanner: ^0.1.4

Usage

Import the library widget into your project files:

You can optionally add the API client for more custom applications.
import 'package:insurance_card_scanner/insurance_card_scanner_api.dart';

Basic Example

import 'package:insurance_card_scanner/insurance_card_scanner.dart';
class ScannerWidgetScreen extends StatelessWidget {
const ScannerWidgetScreen({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Scanner widget'),
),
body: CardScanner(
sessionToken: '<pass your token here>',
onCardScanSuccess: (card) {
print('Scan success');
},
onCardScanError: (message) {
print(message ?? 'Unknown Scan error');
},
onCardScanCancel: () {
Navigator.of(context).pop();
},
),
);
}
}

onCardScanSuccess Callback

The onCardScanSuccess callback allows you to execute a custom function when the card scanning process is completed successfully. This function receives the scanned card data as an argument.

Usage

To use the onCardScanSuccess callback, pass a function that receives the scanned card data:
void handleCardScanSuccess(Card card) {
print('Card scanned successfully: $card');
}
CardScanner(
sessionToken: token,
onCardScanSuccess: handleCardScanSuccess,
)
In this example, the handleCardScanSuccess function logs the scanned card data to the console when the scanning process is completed successfully.

onCardScanError Callback

The onCardScanError callback allows you to execute a custom function when there's a failure during the card scanning process. This function receives an error object as an argument.

Usage

To use the onCardScanError callback, pass a function that receives the error object:
void handleCardScanError(CardScanError error) {
print('Scanning failed: $error');
}
CardScanner(
sessionToken: token,
onCardScanSuccess: cardScanSuccess,
onCardScanError: handleCardScanError,
)
In this example, the handleCardScanError function logs the error object to the console when a scanning failure occurs.
By using the onCardScanSuccess and onCardScanError callbacks, you can handle successful and failed scanning events, allowing you to implement custom actions or display appropriate messages to the user.

onCardScanCancel Callback

The onCardScanCancel callback enables you to execute a custom function when the user cancels the card scanning process. This can be useful for tracking user behavior, navigating to a different part of the application, or displaying an appropriate message.

Usage

To use the onCardScanCancel callback, pass a function that will be executed when the user cancels the scanning process:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:insurance_card_scanner/insurance_card_scanner.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
bool showCardScanWidget = true;
void cardScanSuccess(Card card) {
// Handle card scan success
}
void cardScanError(CardScanError error) {
// Handle card scan error
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Insurance Card Scanner'),
),
body: showCardScanWidget
? CardScanner(
sessionToken: token,
onCardScanSuccess: cardScanSuccess,
onCardScanError: cardScanError,
onCardScanCancel: () => setState(() => showCardScanWidget = false),
)
: Container(),
),
);
}
}
In this example, we initialize the showCardScanWidget state variable to true. Then, we conditionally render the CardScanner widget based on the value of showCardScanWidget. We then use the onCardScanCancel callback to set the showCardScanWidget state variable to false when the user cancels the scanning process.

onCardScanRetry Callback

The onCardScanRetry callback allows you to execute a custom function when a retry is triggered due to a scanning failure.

Usage

To use the onCardScanRetry callback, pass a function that receives the retry event as an argument:
void handleRetry(dynamic event) {
print('Retry triggered: $event');
}
CardScanner(
sessionToken: token,
onCardScanSuccess: cardScanSuccess,
onCardScanRetry: handleRetry,
)
In this example, the handleRetry function logs the retry event to the console when a retry is triggered.

shouldCardScanRetry Callback

The shouldCardScanRetry callback allows you to control whether the scanning process should automatically retry upon failure. By default, the component retries automatically if the scanning fails. If you want to disable this behavior, pass a function that returns false to the shouldCardScanRetry callback.

Usage

To use the shouldCardScanRetry prop, pass a function that returns a boolean value:
bool disableRetry() {
return false;
}
CardScanner(
sessionToken: token,
onCardScanSuccess: cardScanSuccess,
onCardScanRetry: handleRetry,
shouldCardScanRetry: disableRetry,
)
In this example, the disableRetry function returns false, which disables the automatic retry behavior. If you want to conditionally enable or disable retries based on specific criteria, modify the disableRetry function accordingly.
