React Native Fingerprint Scanner is a React Native library for authenticating users with Fingerprint (TouchID).
The usage of the TouchID is based on a framework, named Local Authentication.
It provides a Default View that prompts the user to place a finger to the iPhone’s button for scanning.
Using an expandable Android Fingerprint API library, which combines Samsung and MeiZu's official Fingerprint API.
Samsung and MeiZu's Fingerprint SDK supports most devices which system versions less than Android 6.0.

Checks if Fingerprint Scanner is able to be used by now.
- Returns a
Promise<string>
biometryType: String
- The type of biometric authentication supported by the device.error: FingerprintScannerError { name, message, biometric }
- The name and message of failure and the biometric type in use.

}
Starts Fingerprint authentication on iOS.
- Returns a
Promise
description: String
- the string to explain the request for user authentication.fallbackEnabled: Boolean
- default totrue
, whether to display fallback button (e.g. Enter Password).

}
Starts Fingerprint authentication on Android.
- Returns a
Promise
onAttempt: Function
- a callback function when users are trying to scan their fingerprint but failed.

AuthenticationNotMatch | No match |
AuthenticationFailed | Authentication was not successful because the user failed to provide valid credentials |
UserCancel | Authentication was canceled by the user - e.g. the user tapped Cancel in the dialog |
UserFallback | Authentication was canceled because the user tapped the fallback button (Enter Password) |
SystemCancel | Authentication was canceled by system - e.g. if another application came to foreground while the authentication dialog was up |
PasscodeNotSet | Authentication could not start because the passcode is not set on the device |
FingerprintScannerNotAvailable | Authentication could not start because Fingerprint Scanner is not available on the device |
FingerprintScannerNotEnrolled | Authentication could not start because Fingerprint Scanner has no enrolled fingers |
FingerprintScannerUnknownError | Could not authenticate for an unknown reason |
FingerprintScannerNotSupported | Device does not support Fingerprint Scanner |
DeviceLocked | Authentication was not successful, the device currently in a lockout of 30 seconds |
