# NFC / Reading Flow

The "NFC/Reading Flow" is essentially the same as the "Enrollment Flow," with the only difference being the initial step. Instead of automatically scanning a document using the phone's camera, the process begins with the NFC/Reading step. To proceed, you must provide the necessary data to unlock the chip. Only one document can be processed at a time. Additional features, such as facial recognition and background check, can be enabled just as they are in the "Enrollment Flow."

In order to use our SDK you need an authorization token. Please check our API "[Authorisation](/docs/kyc/uqudo-api/authorisation.md)" in this regard.

Add the following code at the start-up of your application to initialize the SDK:

```dart
import 'package:uqudosdk_flutter/UqudoIdPlugin.dart';
import 'package:uqudosdk_flutter/uqudosdk_flutter.dart';
...
UqudoIdPlugin.init();
...
```

Use the below method for setting the locale of the application:

```dart
...
UqudoIdPlugin.setLocale(<your locale eg. fr, en etc.>);
...
```

The Uqudo SDK provides a builder class to initiate the "NFC / Reading Flow". See the example below:

```dart
import 'package:uqudosdk_flutter/UqudoIdPlugin.dart';
import 'package:uqudosdk_flutter/uqudosdk_flutter.dart';
...

String result;
try {
  var readingConfiguration = new ReadingBuilder()
      .setToken(token)
      .setDocumentType(DocumentType.UAE_ID)
      .setDocumentNumber("123456789")
      .setDateOfBirth("1980-08-25")
      .setDateOfExpiry("2022-03-06")
      .build();
  result = await UqudoIdPlugin.reading(readingConfiguration);
} on PlatformException catch (exception) {
  result = exception.code;
   // e.g. {"code":"USER_CANCEL","message":"User canceled the Reading process","task":"READING"}
}
```

In order to evaluate all the possible options please refer to section [NFC / Reading Flow](/docs/kyc/uqudo-sdk/integration/android/nfc-reading-flow.md). The dart interface is the porting of the JAVA one. In addition you can check the dart files in the plugin ./lib folder or directly from your IDE.

If **successful**, the response is a JSON Web Signature (JWS). Please refer to section "[SDK result](/docs/kyc/uqudo-sdk/sdk-result.md)" for further details.

In case of a **failure**, the callback returns the following object:

<table><thead><tr><th width="122">Property</th><th width="83">Type</th><th width="99">Optional</th><th width="96">Default</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>code</td><td>String</td><td>No</td><td>None</td><td>See <a href="/pages/eXcA2qMrXUR1tqYrGTVp#handling-the-result">Handling the Result</a></td></tr><tr><td>message</td><td>String</td><td>Yes</td><td>null</td><td>Description of the error if any</td></tr><tr><td>task</td><td>String</td><td>Yes</td><td>null</td><td>See <a href="/pages/eXcA2qMrXUR1tqYrGTVp#handling-the-result">Handling the Result</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

Add the following event to enable the tracing mechanism as per the code shown below. Please refer to section [Analytics](/docs/kyc/uqudo-sdk/integration/android/analytics.md) for details.

```dart
import 'package:uqudosdk_flutter/UqudoIdPlugin.dart';

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    UqudoIdPlugin.init();
    listenNativeEvent();
  }

  static const EventChannel _eventChannel =
      EventChannel('io.uqudo.sdk.id/trace');

  void listenNativeEvent() {
    _eventChannel.receiveBroadcastStream().listen(_onEvent, onError: _onError);
  }

  void _onEvent(Object? event) {
    if (event != null) {
      print("---TraceEvent=${event.toString()}");
    }
  }

  void _onError(Object error) {
    print('---TraceEvent error.');
  }
......
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.uqudo.com/docs/kyc/uqudo-sdk/integration/flutter/nfc-reading-flow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
