VerificaC19 SDK for Node.js

Official VerificaC19 SDK implementation for Node.js (official SDKs list).

Read this in other languages: Italian 🇮🇹.

Requirements

  • Node.js version >= 12.x
  • MongoDB version >= 5.x (used to store CRL)

Installation

npm i verificac19-sdk

Usage

Setup CRL environment

CRL data will be stored in a MongoDB database. This repository provides a simple docker-compose.yml file (dev instance) with a replica set. By default the connection string is mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017/VC19?authSource=admin.

If you want to change it as dotenv is used for environment variables managment, you must create a .env file in your root folder and set VC19_MONGODB_URL value.

👉🏻 See an example examples/.env.

⚠️ If you don't want to use MongoDB to store CRL, read how to write your own CRL management system.

Download and cache rules, CRL data and DSCs

You can download and cache rules, CRL data and DSCs using Service module.

const {Service} = require('verificac19-sdk');

const main = async () => {
  await Service.updateAll();
}

⚠️ By default rules and DSCs will be cached in a folder called .cache, to change it, set VC19_CACHE_FOLDER inside your .env file.

⏱ By default updateAll is allowed to fetch new data every 24 hours. To change this value, set VC19_UPDATE_HOURS inside your .env file.

👉🏻 See an example examples/syncdata.js.

Verify a DCC

You can load a DCC from an image or from a raw string using Certificate module.

const {Certificate} = require('verificac19-sdk');

const main = async () => {
  const myDCCfromImage = await Certificate.fromImage('./data/myDCC.png');
  const myDCCfromRaw = await Certificate.fromRaw('HC1:6BF+70790T9WJWG.FKY*4GO0.O1CV2...etc..');
}

Loaded DCC has the following structure:

{
  person: {
    standardisedFamilyName: 'MUSTERMANN',
    familyName: 'Mustermann',
    standardisedGivenName: 'ERIKA',
    givenName: 'Erika'
  },
  dateOfBirth: '1964-08-12',
  kid: 'TH15154F4k3K1D=',
  exemptions: [ ... ],         // Array of exemptions (if any)
  vaccinations: [ ... ],       // Array of vaccinations (if any)
  tests: [ ... ],              // Array of tests (if any)
  recoveryStatements: [ ... ], // Array of recovery statements (if any)
  dcc: DCCObject               // from dcc-utils https://github.com/ministero-salute/dcc-utils
}

👉🏻 fromImage and fromRaw methods may rise CertificateParsingError.

You can verify a DCC using Validator module.

const {Certificate, Validator} = require('verificac19-sdk');

const main = async () => {
  const myDCC = await Certificate.fromImage('./data/myDCC.png');
  const validationResult = await Validator.validate(myDCC);
}

Validator.validate returns an object containing person name, date_of_birth, code and a message alongside the result

{
  person: 'Erika Mustermann',
  date_of_birth: '1964-08-12',
  code: 'NOT_VALID',
  result: false,
  message: 'Test Result is expired at : 2021-05-22T12:34:56.000Z'
}

you can compare the resulting code with Validator.codes values

Code Description Result
VALID Certificate is valid true
⚠️ TEST_NEEDED Test needed if verification mode is BOOSTER_DGP false
NOT_VALID Certificate is not valid false
NOT_VALID_YET Certificate is not valid yet false
REVOKED Certificate is revoked false
NOT_EU_DCC Certificate is not an EU DCC false

for example

const validationResult = await Validator.validate(dccTest);
console.log(validationResult.code === Validator.codes.NOT_VALID);

👉🏻 validate method may rise CertificateVerificationError (e.g. when cache is not ready yet).

👉🏻 See an example examples/verifydccs.js.

Verification mode

If you want to change verification mode and verify whether a certificate is a Super Green Pass or not, you need to pass Validator.mode.SUPER_DGP to Validator.validate method.

const result = await Validator.validate(dcc, Validator.mode.SUPER_DGP);
Code Description
NORMAL_DGP Normal verification (default value)
SUPER_DGP Super Green Pass verification
VISITORS_RSA_DGP RSA Visitors (ex BOOSTER_DGP verification mode)

Alternative methods

To update rules and DSCs you can also use updateRules, updateSignaturesList and updateSignatures methods

const {Service} = require('verificac19-sdk');

const main = async () => {
  await Service.setUp();
  await Service.updateRules();
  await Service.updateSignaturesList();
  await Service.updateSignatures();
  await Service.updateCRL();
  await Service.tearDown();
}

To verify a DCC you can also use Validator.checkRules and Validator.checkSignature methods.

const {Certificate, Validator} = require('verificac19-sdk');

const main = async () => {
  const myDCC = await Certificate.fromImage('./data/myDCC.png');
  const rulesOk = await Validator.checkRules(myDCC).result;
  const signatureOk = await Validator.checkSignature(myDCC);
}
