## Installation
Include as a script tag:
```html
<script src="https://static.bynn.com/sdk/js/1.2.10/bynn.min.js"></script>
```
or
```html
<script type="module">
import * as Bynn from 'https://static.bynn.com/sdk/js/1.2.10/bynn.esm.js';
</script>
```
or install it via a package manager
```bash
npm install @bynn-intelligence/websdk
```
## Basic Usage
```javascript
// CommonJS
const Bynn = require('@bynn-intelligence/websdk');
// ES6 style import
import { Bynn } from '@bynn-intelligence/websdk';
```
Bynn SDK requires one parent element in HTML:
```html
<div id="bynn-verify-form"></div>
```
To initialize the library, you will need to provide your API Key, KYC level and parentId.
- You can find your public API key and KYC level in the Bynn dashboard in the [integration](https://dashboard.bynn.com/integration) section in the tab "Bynn.js (easy integration)". Just copy the integration code and paste it in the HTML file.
- Fields are optional, but including them enhances the verification process.
- ‘unique_id’ is highly recommended if you conduct more than a few verifications per month. It enables automatic matching of applicants in your system, streamlining the process.
Tip: The more data you send, the more comprehensive intelligence we can deliver, ensuring higher accuracy and better insights for your verifications.
```javascript
const bynn = Bynn({
apiKey: 'your_PUBLIC_api_key',
kycLevel: 'your_kyc_level',
parentId: 'verification-form',
fields: [
{ name: 'first_name', visible: true },
{ name: 'last_name', visible: true },
{ name: 'email_address', visible: false, value:'john@doe.com' },
{ name: 'phone_number', visible: true },
{ name: 'unique_id', visible: false, value:'550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000' },
]
});
bynn.mount();
```

## Example with only button
You can pass all data hidden from the user like this
```javascript
const bynn = Bynn({
apiKey: 'your_PUBLIC_api_key',
kycLevel: 'your_kyc_level',
parentId: 'verification-form',
fields: [
{ name: 'first_name', visible: false, value:'John' },
{ name: 'last_name', visible: false, value:'Doe' },
{ name: 'email_address', visible: false, value:'john@doe.com' },
{ name: 'phone_number', visible: false, value:'+1234567890' },
{ name: 'unique_id', visible: false, value:'550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000' },
]
});
bynn.mount();
```
This will generate only the verification button.

**Pro Tip:** If you want to create your own verification button and modal we suggest using our session API instead of the web sdk. Read more about the session API at [docs.bynn.com](https://docs.bynn.com)
## Configuration Options
### Fields Configuration
The `fields` array accepts objects with the following properties:
```javascript
{
name: string; // Field name (required)
visible: boolean; // Whether to show the field (default: true)
value: string; // Pre-filled value (optional)
label: string; // Custom label text (optional)
}
```
Available field names:
- `first_name`
- `last_name`
- `email_address`
- `phone_number`
- `unique_id`
Example with all options:
```javascript
const bynn = Bynn({
apiKey: 'your_PUBLIC_api_key',
kycLevel: 'your_kyc_level',
parentId: 'verification-form',
fields: [
{
name: 'first_name',
visible: true,
label: 'Given Name',
value: 'John'
},
{
name: 'unique_id',
visible: false,
value: 'USER123'
}
]
});
```
### Customizing Text
You can customize button and loading text:
```javascript
bynn.mount({
submitBtnText: 'Verify Identity',
loadingText: 'Please wait...'
});
```
### Event Handling
Handle verification session events:
```javascript
const bynn = Bynn({
// ...other options
onSession: (error, response) => {
if (error) {
console.error('Verification error:', error);
return;
}
console.log('Verification started:', response);
},
onStart: (sessionId) => {
console.log('Verification started:', sessionId);
},
onComplete: (sessionId) => {
console.log('Verification completed:', sessionId);
},
onError: (sessionId, error) => {
console.error('Verification error:', error);
},
onReject: (sessionId) => {
console.log('Verification rejected:', sessionId);
},
onSuccess: (sessionId) => {
console.log('Verification successful:', sessionId);
},
onClose: () => {
console.log('Verification closed');
}
});
```
## Styling
The SDK uses CSS custom properties (variables) for styling. Override these variables to customize the appearance:
```css
:root {
/* Primary colors */
--bynn-primary: #6366F1;
--bynn-primary-hover: #4F46E5;
--bynn-primary-disabled: #C7D2FE;
--bynn-primary-light: #EEF2FF;
/* Background colors */
--bynn-bg-white: #FFFFFF;
--bynn-bg-input: #F9FAFB;
/* Neutral colors */
--bynn-neutral-50: #F9FAFB;
--bynn-neutral-100: #F3F4F6;
--bynn-neutral-200: #E5E7EB;
--bynn-neutral-300: #D1D5DB;
--bynn-neutral-600: #4B5563;
--bynn-neutral-800: #1F2937;
}
```
### CSS Classes
To avoid overriding SDK classes, it uses `.data-bynn-sdk` as a prefix.
You can also style specific elements using these CSS classes:
- `.bynn-form` - The form container
- `.bynn-input-wrapper` - Input field wrapper
- `.bynn-input` - Input fields
- `.bynn-submit` - Submit button
- `.bynn-description` - Footer text
- `.bynn-modal-overlay` - Verification modal overlay
- `.bynn-modal-container` - Modal container
- `.bynn-modal-content` - Modal content
Example custom styles:
```css
.data-bynn-sdk .bynn-form {
max-width: 500px;
padding: 2rem;
}
.data-bynn-sdk .bynn-input {
border-radius: 8px;
border: 2px solid var(--bynn-neutral-200);
}
.data-bynn-sdk .bynn-submit {
background: var(--bynn-primary);
font-weight: 600;
}
```
## Internationalization
Set the language for the verification interface:
```javascript
const bynn = Bynn({
apiKey: 'your_api_key',
kycLevel: 'your_kyc_level',
parentId: 'verification-form',
i18n: 'en-US' // Language code
});
```

## Development
### Setting Up Development Environment
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Bynn-Intelligence/Bynn-Web-SDK.git
cd Bynn-Web-SDK
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Start the development server:
```bash
npm run dev
```
This will start a local development server with hot reloading and open `dev_example.html` in your browser.
### Using the Development Example
1. Open the `dev_example.html` file in your editor
2. You can find your public API key and KYC level in the Bynn dashboard in the [integration](https://dashboard.bynn.com/integration) section in the tab "Bynn.js (easy integration)".
3. Update the following variables:
```javascript
const apiKey = "your_PUBLIC_api_key"; // Replace with your actual API key
const kycLevel = "your_kyc_level"; // Replace with your actual KYC level
```
4. Open the file in your browser while running the development server
5. You can make changes to the SDK code and see them reflected in real-time
### Building the SDK
To build the SDK for production:
```bash
npm run build
```
This will generate both the minified (`bynn.min.js`) and ESM (`bynn.esm.js`) versions in the `dist` folder.
