​
Step 1: Install OTPLESS SDK Dependency

Install the OTPLESS SDK dependency by running the following command in your terminal at the root of your Ionic project:

npm install otpless-ionic

​
Step 2: Platform-specific Integrations

  1. Add intent filter inside your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file into your Main activity code block:
<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
  <data
      android:host="otpless"
      android:scheme= "otpless.{{YOUR_APP_ID}}"/>
</intent-filter>

Replace YOUR_APP_ID with your actual App ID provided in your OTPLESS dashboard.

  1. Change your activity launchMode to singleTop and exported true for your Main Activity:
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:exported="true"
  1. Add the following override method in android/app/src/main/java/MainActivity.java to handle callback:
  • Import the following classes:
import com.otpless.ionic.OtplessPlugin;
import android.os.Bundle;
  • Add this code to your onCreate() method in your main activity:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	registerPlugin(OtplessPlugin.class);
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
  • Add this code to your onBackPressed() method in your main activity:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
	if (OtplessPlugin.onBackPressed(this)) return;
	super.onBackPressed();
}

​
Step 3: Configure Sign up/Sign in

  1. Import the OTPLESS package on your login page.
login_page.js
import { OtplessManager } from "otpless-ionic";
  1. Add OTPLESS instance and declare the variable with YOUR_APP_ID
login_page.js
let manager = new OtplessManager();
let extras = {
  method: "get",
  params: {
    appId: "{{YOUR_APP_ID}}",
  },
};

Replace YOUR_APP_ID with your actual App ID provided in your OTPLESS dashboard.

  1. Add the following code to Initiate OTPLESS Login Page
login_page.js
manager.showFabButton(false);
const data = await manager.showOtplessLoginPage(extras);

let message: string = "";
if (data.data === null || data.data === undefined) {
  message = data.errorMessage;
} else {
  message = "token: ${data.data.token}";
  // todo here
}

🏁 Checkpoint

To ensure a smooth integration process:

  1. Deploy your app/website with the included OTPLESS SDK.
  2. Conduct tests to verify the sign-in flow functions correctly.
  3. Ensure that after a successful sign-in, the user is redirected back to your app/website and their information is correctly logged in the console.

​
User Information JSON

The structure of the user information returned upon successful sign-in is as follows:

{
  "token": "unique_token_here",
  "userId": "unique_user_id_here",
  "timestamp": "ISO_timestamp_here",
  "identities": [
    {
      "identityType": "EMAIL",
      "identityValue": "user@example.com",
      "channel": "GMAIL",
      "methods": ["OAUTH"],
      "name": "User Name",
      "verified": "true",
      "verifiedAt": "ISO_timestamp_here",
      "isCompanyEmail": "true"
    },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}
