Quick Start
$3
`tsx
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { VerificationSDK, KycModal } from "astra-sdk-astra";
import "astra-sdk-astra/kycModal.css";
const sdk = new VerificationSDK({ serverKey: "your-server-key" });
function App() {
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const startKyc = async () => {
setError(null);
setLoading(true);
try {
await sdk.init({
reference: "user123",
email: "user@example.com",
callback_url: "https://your-app.com/callback",
redirect_url: "https://your-app.com/redirect",
device_type: "WEB"
});
setShowModal(true);
} catch (err: any) {
setError(err?.message || "Failed to initialize KYC");
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
};
return (
{error && {error}}
{showModal && (
onClose={() => setShowModal(false)}
/>
)}
);
}
`
What users see in the modal:
- Face capture step (with QR to switch to mobile)
- Document step with CNIC/Passport selector; if an upload fails, an "Upload again" button appears so users can retry immediately
- Status step showing the verification outcome

If you prefer an out-of-the-box flow with a start button, init form, terms screen, and modal managed for you:
`tsx
import { KycFlow } from "astra-sdk-astra";
import "astra-sdk-astra/kycModal.css";
function App() {
return (
);
}
`
$3
If you want a simple "Start KYC" button that opens the init form first and, on success, opens the KYC modal:
`tsx
import { useState } from "react";
import { VerificationSDK, KycInitForm, KycModal } from "astra-sdk-astra";
import "astra-sdk-astra/kycModal.css";
const sdk = new VerificationSDK({ serverKey: "your-server-key" });
function App() {
const [showInit, setShowInit] = useState(false);
const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);
return (
type="button"
className="kyc-input"
style={{
background: "linear-gradient(90deg, #FF8A00 0%, #FF3D77 100%)",
color: "#fff",
border: "none",
borderRadius: 8,
padding: 10,
cursor: "pointer"
}}
onClick={() => setShowInit(true)}
>
Start KYC
{showInit && (
onStarted={() => {
setShowInit(false);
setShowModal(true);
}}
/>
)}
{showModal && (
setShowModal(false)} />
)}
);
}
