Web Authentication API for DigitalPersona Access Management

Tutorial

Getting started

Add the package to your project

Using NPM:

npm install @digitalpersona/authentication

Using Yarn:

yarn add @digitalpersona/authentication

Write some code

We recommend using Typescrypt or ES6 modules. Import needed types from the @digitalpersona/authentication module, for example:

import { JSONWebToken, BioSample } from '@digitalpersona/core';
import { FingerprintsAuth } from '@digitalpersona/authentication';

...
async submitFingerprints(samples: BioSample[], identity?: JSONWebToken)
: JSONWebToken | null
{
    try {
        const api = new FingerprintsAuth(...);

        const token = await (
            identity
                ? api.authenticate(identity, samples)
                : api.identify(samples)
        );
        return token;
    }
    catch (error) {
        handleError(error);
        return null;
    }
}
