Introduction

eideasy-browser-client is a handy tool that you can use to handle the client side parts of the identification and signing flows when using eID Easy API.

A typical signing implementation using the eID Easy API and the eideasy-browser-client would look like this:

1. Prepare the files for signing by sending a server side request to the /prepare-files-for-signing endpoint.
2. /prepare-files-for-signing endpoint returns a docId.
3. Create a browser client instance using the docId.
4. Use any of the eideasy-browser-client's signing modules (e.g. idCardSignature, smartIdSignature, mobileIdSignature etc.) to complete the signing process.
5. eID Easy server sends a POST request containing doc_id and signer_id to your configured "Signature notification URL" when the user has finished signing the document.
