    // see table bellow
    .build()

DocumentDetector Options

Parameter	Required?
String mobileToken Usage token associated with your CAF account.	Yes.
.setDocumentCaptureFlow(flow :[DocumentDetectorStep]) Sets the document capture flow, as explained here.	Yes.
.setPeopleId(peopleId: String?) Identifier of the user for the purpose of identifying a fraudulent profile.	No, only used for analytics.
.setAnalyticsSettings(useAnalytics: Bool) Enables/disables data collection for analytics.	No, the default is true.
.setPopupSettings(show: Bool) Change the setting of the inflated popups before each document.	No, the default is true.
.setLayout(layout: DocumentDetectorLayout) It allows you to change some of the SDK's layout attributes, such as buttons, colors and fonts. See the available options and an example here.	No.
.setOverlay(overlay: DocumentOverlayView) It allows you to access the components and get UI updates for more complete layout customizations. See this page for more details.	No.
.setNetworkSettings(requestTimeout:TimeInterval) Change the default network settings.	No. The default is 60 (seconds).
.setLuminositySensorSettings(luminosityThreshold :Float?) Defines threshold between acceptable/unacceptable ambient brightness. The threshold of this sensor is a number ranging from negative to positive.	No. The default setting is -3.
.setOrientationSensorSettings(orientationThreshold: Double?) Defines threshold between correct/incorrect device orientation. Higher the value more flexible it will be. The threshold of this sensor is the acceleration of the device.	No. The default setting is 0.3.
.setStabilitySensorSettings(stabilityThreshold: Double?) Changes the default settings of the stability sensor. The threshold of this sensor is in the range of the last two accelerations collected from the device.	No. The default setting is 0.3.
.setProxySettings(proxySettings: ProxySettings?) Sets the proxy settings, as explained here.	No. The default is null.
.showPreview(_ show: Bool, title: String?, subtitle: String?, confirmLabel: String?, retryLabel: String?) Enables/disables the capture preview. If show has true, after each capture, the SDK provides a screen for the user to approve or make the capture again. For the remaining parameters, enter nil to use the default value or a String for a custom text.	No. The default is false.
.setMessageSettings(attributes...) Allows customizing messages displayed in the feedback label during the capture and analysis process.See the available attributes here.	No. The pattern is this.
.setCompressSettings(compressionQuality: CGFloat) Allows you to configure the quality in the compression process. By default, all captures go through compression. The method expects values between 0.8 and 1.0 as a parameter, where 1.0 is the best quality compression.	No. The default is 0.9.
.setManualCaptureSettings(enable: Bool, time: TimeInterval) Enables/disables manual capture. The time parameter sets the time for the capture mode to be enabled.	No. The default is disabled.
.enableMultiLanguage(_ enable: Bool) Enables/disables multi-language support.	No. The default is enabled.

DocumentDetectorStep

To create a capture flow, you will need to create an array of DocumentDetectorStep, where each element will be a capture step. To construct each DocumentDetectorStep object, you can enter the following elements:

Parameter	Required?
document: Document Identifies which document you want to capture in the respective step.	Yes.
stepLabel: String? Text to be displayed at the bottom of the layout.	No. There is a pattern per Document type.
illustration: UIImage? Illustration to be shown in the popup before the capture.	No. There is a pattern per Document type.
showStepLabel: Bool? Present the text to be displayed at the top of the layout.	No. the default is true.

Customizing layout

You can customize the layout by creating an object of type DocumentDetectorLayout and passing it as a parameter in setLayout(). The DocumentDetectorLayout elements are:

Parameter	Description	Required?
closeButtonImage: UIImage	Icon of close SDK button.	No.
closeButtonColor: UIColor	Color of close SDK button.	No.
closeButtonSize: CGFloat	Size of close SDK button.	No.
closeButtonContentMode: UIView.ContentMode	Content mode of close SDK button.	No.
font: String	Font of all SDK texts.	No.
primaryColor: UIColor	Principal color, applied to buttons.	No.

Example

let layout = DocumentDetectorLayout()
                        
layout.closeButtonImage = UIImage(named: "my_close_image")
layout.closeButtonColor = .green
layout.closeButtonSize = CGFloat(50)
layout.closeButtonContentMode = .scaleAspectFill

layout.font = "my_font"

layout.primaryColor = .blue
layout.feedbackColors = DocumentFeedbackColors(defaultColor: .black, errorColor: .red, successColor: .green)

let documentDetector = DocumentDetectorSdk.Builder(mobileToken: "mobileToken")
    .setDocumentCaptureFlow(flow: [DocumentDetectorStep(document: Document.CNH_FRONT), DocumentDetectorStep(document: Document.CNH_BACK)])
    .setLayout(layout: layout)

UploadSettings

To activate the document upload functionality it is necessary to instantiate an object of type UploadSettings() and set its parameters:

Parameter	Required?
enable Enables/disables this feature.	No. The default is true.
compress Enables/disables file compression before uploading.	No. The default is true.
fileFormats Defines the file format(s) that will be accepted for upload.	No. By default .PDF, .JPEG and .PNG are accepted.
maximumFileSize Sets the maximum KB limit of the file to upload.	No. The default limit is 10000 KB (10MB).

Currently, the supported file formats are:

public enum FileFormat: String {
    case png
    case jpeg
    case pdf
}

Getting the result

To get the result, you must implement the DocumentDetectorControllerDelegate delegate in your controller:

class YouController: UIViewController, DocumentDetectorControllerDelegate{
    
    // MARK: - Document Detection Delegates
    
    func documentDetectionController(_ scanner: DocumentDetectorController, didFinishWithResults results: DocumentDetectorResult) {
        //Called when the process was successfully executed
        //The result variable contains the data obtained
    }
    
    func documentDetectionControllerDidCancel(_ scanner: DocumentDetectorController) {
        // Called when the user cancel
    }
    
    func documentDetectionController(_ scanner: DocumentDetectorController, didFailWithError error: DocumentDetectorFailure) {
        //Called when the process terminate with an error
        //The error variable contains info about error
    }
}

After creating the DocumentDetector object, start the DocumentDetectorController by passing this object as a parameter in the constructor:

let scannerVC = DocumentDetectorController(documentDetector: documentDetector)
scannerVC.documentDetectorDelegate = self
present(scannerVC, animated: true, completion: nil)

DocumentDetectorResult

Parameter	Can it be null?
captures:[Capture] The array with the respective captures of the parameterized documents.	Yes, in case of error.
type: String The class of the read document stream. This parameter is useful in an integration with our OCR route. The existing types are: ["blank", "cnh", "cnh_new", "generic", "rg", "rg_new", "rne", "rnm", "ctps", "passport", "crlv", "crlv_new", "cin"].	Yes, in case of error.
trackingId: String? Identifier of this run on our servers. If possible, save this field and send it along to our API. This way we will have more data about how the user behaved during the execution.	Yes, if the user sets useAnalytics = false or the analytics calls do not work.

Capture

Parameter	Can it be null?
image: UIImage Document image.	No.
imageUrl: String URL of the document on Caf's server. This URL has an expiry time, which can be set with the setGetImageUrlExpireTime method.	No.
label: String Label of the respective document within the following possibilities: ["blank", "cnh_back", "cnh_front", "cnh_full", "new_cnh_back", "new_cnh_front", "new_cnh_full", "crlv", "crlv_new", "generic", "rg_back", "rg_front", "rg_full", "rg_new_back", "rg_new_front", "rg_new_full", "rne_back", "rne_front", "rnm_back", "rnm_front", "ctps_back", "ctps_front", "passport", "cin_front", "cin_back"].	No.
quality: Double Quality inferred by the document quality algorithm. Varies between 0 and 5.	No.

DocumentDetectorFailure

Superclass that leads to the SDK shutdown. To find out what the reason was, find out which object class has the isKindOfClass() method, equivalent to instanceof in Java and is in Dart:

isKindOfClass()	Description	Exemple
InvalidTokenReason	The token entered is not valid for the corresponding product.	Parameterize "test123" as token in the SDK builder.
PermissionReason	You are missing some mandatory permission to run the SDK.	Start DocumentDetector without camera permission granted.
NetworkReason	Internet connection failure.	User was without internet during facematch in FaceAuthenticator.
ServerReason	When an SDK request receives a status code of failure.	In theory, it shouldn't happen. If it does, let us know!
StorageReason	There is no space on the user device's internal storage.	When there is no space on the internal storage while capturing the document photo.
