A cross-platform React Native wrapper for the archived card.io SDKs to scan credit cards with a device camera.
react-native-awesome-card-io is a React Native library that wraps the official (but now archived) card.io SDKs for iOS and Android. It allows developers to add credit card scanning functionality to their mobile apps using the device's camera, automatically capturing card numbers, expiration dates, and other details to simplify payment form entry.
React Native developers building iOS and Android applications that require payment processing or need to streamline user input of credit card information, such as e-commerce, finance, or subscription-based apps.
Developers choose this library because it provides a unified, cross-platform JavaScript API for the robust card.io scanning technology, saving the effort of implementing separate native integrations. It offers extensive customization and maintains compatibility with the archived SDKs for existing projects.
A complete and cross-platform card.io component for React Native (iOS and Android).
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a single JavaScript interface (CardIOModule) that abstracts the native card.io SDKs for both iOS and Android, simplifying integration and reducing platform-specific code.
Offers two methods: a full-screen module for handling the entire flow and an embeddable CardIOView component for iOS, allowing custom UI designs as documented in the usage table.
Supports numerous configuration options like language localization, guide color, and data requirements (e.g., expiry, CVV), with detailed props and config keys listed in the README.
Includes a canReadCardWithCamera method to detect if the device hardware supports scanning, helping apps gracefully handle unsupported cases.
Depends on the officially archived card.io SDKs, meaning no updates or bug fixes for underlying issues, and potential incompatibilities with new OS versions, as warned in the README.
The embeddable CardIOView component is iOS-only because the Android SDK lacks this functionality, restricting custom UI integration and flexibility on Android.
With the SDKs archived, there's no guarantee of support for future React Native versions or hardware changes, posing maintenance risks for long-term projects.
