Cordova

The Cordova plugin can be used to integrate mobile apps with DeviceConnect so that users can share their data.

Installation#

Install the Cordova SDK from the npm package:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-finbox-risk-manager

Authentication#

Specify the following in local.properties file:

ACCESS_KEY=<ACCESS_KEY>
SECRET_KEY=<SECRET_KEY>
DC_SDK_VERSION=<DC_SDK_VERSION>
COMMON_SDK_VERSION=<COMMON_SDK_VERSION>
COMMON_FLAVOR=<COMMON_FLAVOR>
LOGGER_SDK_VERSION=<LOGGER_SDK_VERSION>
NOTE

Following will be shared by FinBox team at the time of integration:

  • ACCESS_KEY
  • SECRET_KEY
  • DC_SDK_VERSION
  • COMMON_SDK_VERSION
  • COMMON_FLAVOR
  • LOGGER_SDK_VERSION
  • CLIENT_API_KEY

Create User Method#

Call createUser method using the FinBoxRiskManager instance to create the user (first time) or check the API credentials for the SDK. It takes CUSTOMER_ID as one of its arguments which is a unique identifier for a user.

IMPORTANT

Please make sure CUSTOMER_ID is not more than 64 characters and is alphanumeric (with no special characters). Also it should never null or a blank string "".

The response to this method (success or failure) can be captured using the callback, and on success Start Periodic Sync Method should be called.

cordova.plugins.FinBoxRiskManager.createUser("CLIENT_API_KEY", "CUSTOMER_ID", function (response) {
console.log(response);
cordova.plugins.FinBoxRiskManager.startPeriodicSync(12);
}, function (error) {
console.log(error);
});

Start Periodic Sync Method#

This is to be called only on a successful response to createUser method's callback. On calling this the syncs will start for all the data sources configured as per permissions. The method below syncs data in the background at regular intervals:

cordova.plugins.FinBoxRiskManager.startPeriodicSync(12) //Start the sync periodically after every 12 hour
Handle Sync Frequency

startPeriodicSync takes one argument which indicates the frequency of sync in hours.

Cancel Periodic Syncing#

If you have already set up the sync for the user data, you can cancel it any time by the following code:

cordova.plugins.FinBoxRiskManager.stopPeriodicSync();

Reset User Data#

In case the user data needs to be removed to re-sync the entire data, use the method resetData.

cordova.plugins.FinBoxRiskManager.resetData();
