Release 5.10.0

on Node.js NPM

5.10.0

Newly supported identity documents

• Saudi Arabia - DL (front)
• Saudi Arabia - Resident ID (front)

Changes to the BlinkId(Combined)Recognizer:

• We're now able to extract the additional address on Hungary Address Cards
• We've improved data extraction through the MRZ:
  • We now return the document type through ClassInfo, regardless of the RecognitionMode you're using (MrzId, MrzPassport or MrzVisa).
  • This means you can now use ClassFilter to filter these documents by their type.
  • We now return the document number on Nigeria IDs complete with its check digit.
  • We now support Italy Residence Permits with a CR document code.
• We've extended the ClassInfo structure with helper methods so you can filter documents by country more easily:
  • Use countryName, isoNumericCountryCode, isoAlpha2CountryCode and isoAlpha3CountryCode to get the full country names or their representative codes, as defined by ISO.
• We've extended the BarcodeResult structure with extendedElements
  • You can find all data from AAMVA-compliant barcodes under their respective BarcodeElementKey in the BarcodeElements structure.
  • For a full list of keys please see here.
• We've added another ProcessingStatus called AwaitingOtherSide
  • This status is triggered once BlinkID has finished with the first side of a document and expects the other side, too.
• We're now able to extract the date of birth from the CURP field on Mexico Voter IDs
• We've added a new recognition mode for recognizing still images of documents that have already been cropped:
  • Set the scanCroppedDocumentImage to true when you're feeding BlinkID images of documents that have already been cropped and don't require detection.
  • Keep in mind that this setting won't work on document images that haven't been properly cropped.

Changes to the IdBarcodeRecognizer:

• We've extended the results with extendedElements
  • You can find all data from AAMVA-compliant barcodes under their respective BarcodeElementKey in the BarcodeElements structure.
  • For a full list of keys please see here.

Deprecated recognizers:

• We've deprecated UsdlRecognizer. Please use IdBarcodeRecognizer instead

Changes to the UI component:

• We’ve added new ways you can configure the UI component to better fit the way your app looks and behaves.
  • For a full list of attributes, properties and events you can modify, please see the API documentation.
  • For a full list of CSS variables please see _globals.scss file.

Changes to RecognizerRunner class:

• Invoking RecognizerRunner.processImage on multiple still images will no longer implicitly reset the recognizer chain.
  • This means you can now use BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer to scan both sides of a document by giving it two still images.
  • If you still need to reset the recognizers, you can do that manually by invoking the RecognizerRunner.resetRecognizers function.
  • A complete example of how to use BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer with still images has been added here.
