TIKI Receipt (Capacitor + Vue.js)

The TIKI Receipt library adds to your Vue.js + Capacitor mobile app a Data Reward program for your users to share their receipts in-exchange for cash from Tiki inc.

Reward users with cash for linking their Gmail inbox and connecting one of 58 supported retailer accounts. All program participation data is zero-party, powered by TIKI's data licensing technology, meaning it is data legally owned by an end-user and licensed to yours and other businesses in-exchange for fair-compensation.

Raw receipt data is pooled in a hosted Iceberg cleanroom, that you can query, etl, and train models against. Find a sample cleanroom in our purchase repo.

Receipt parsing is handled on-device (secure, privacy-centric, and App Store/Play Store compliant), by the closed-source, licensed SDK Microblink. For new customers, we offer a free Microblink license. Schedule a meeting at mytiki.com to get a license key.

Installation

Required Dependencies

• @mytiki/capture-receipt-capacitor - Receipt parsing library and Capacitor wrapper for Microblink.
• @mytiki/tiki-sdk-capacitor - Tiki's zero-party data licensing library
• @capacitor/preferences - Persist user state across app sessions.

npm i @mytiki/tiki-sdk-capacitor @mytiki/capture-receipt-capacitor @capacitor/preferences

With Vue >=3.0.0

npm i @mytiki/receipt-capacitor

With Vue 2.7.14

npm i @mytiki/receipt-capacitor-vue2

Next, if you don't already have a publishingId from TIKI, create a free account and make a project at console.mytiki.com.

Android

Requires:

• compileSdkVersion >= 33
• targetSdkVersion >= 33

Microblink is closed source, and subsequently it's AARs are hosted by Microblink's Maven repository, not Maven Central. You need to add the maven endpoint to your android/build.gradle file in your project's android folder.

allprojects {
  repositories {
    // other repositories
    maven { url  "https://maven.microblink.com" }
  }
}

Depending on your project's configuration you may also need to add the following packagingOptions to your android/app/build.gradle file.

android {
    //... your other android build configs
    
    packagingOptions {
        exclude("META-INF/LICENSE-notice.md")
        exclude("META-INF/LICENSE.md")
        exclude("META-INF/NOTICE.md")
    }
}

iOS

To build for iOS using Cocoapods, add the closed source Microblink PodspecRepo to your ios/App/Podfile. Then include the Tiki and Microblink dependencies.

1. Add the BlinkReceipt repository at the top of the Podfile.

source 'https://github.com/BlinkReceipt/PodSpecRepo.git'
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

2. Add the TikiSdk and BlinkReceipt dependencies in the target pods:

target <TARGET> do
  # ... current pods

  pod 'BlinkReceipt', '~> 1.39'
  pod 'BlinkEReceipt', '~> 2.31'
  pod 'TikiSdkRelease', '3.0.0', :configurations => 'Release'
  pod 'TikiSdkDebug', '3.0.0', :configurations => 'Debug'
end

NOTE: If Cocoapods fails to locate the dependencies automatically, run pod install --repo-update.

Getting Started

1. Register the plugin with your Vue app

With Vue >=3.0.0

import { createApp } from "vue";
import App from "@/app.vue";

import Tiki from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor";

createApp(App)
    .use(Tiki, {
      company: {
        name: "Company Inc.",
        jurisdiction: "Tennessee, USA",
        privacy: "https://your-co.com/privacy",
        terms: "https://your-co.com/terms",
      },
      key: {
        publishingId: "YOUR TIKI PUBLISHING ID",
        android: "YOUR MICROBLINK ANDROID LICENSE KEY",
        ios: "YOUR MICROBLINK IOS LICENSE KEY",
        product: "YOUR MICROBLINK PRODUCT INTELLIGENCE KEY",
      }
    }) 
    .mount("#app");

With Vue 2.7.15

import Vue from "vue";
import App from "./app.vue";

import Tiki from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor-vue2";

Vue.use(Tiki, {
  company: {
    name: "Company Inc.",
    jurisdiction: "Tennessee, USA",
    privacy: "https://your-co.com/privacy",
    terms: "https://your-co.com/terms",
  },
  key: {
    publishingId: "YOUR TIKI PUBLISHING ID",
    android: "YOUR MICROBLINK ANDROID LICENSE KEY",
    ios: "YOUR MICROBLINK IOS LICENSE KEY",
    product: "YOUR MICROBLINK PRODUCT INTELLIGENCE KEY",
  }
});

new Vue({ render: (h) => h(App) }).$mount("#app");

This registers the Vue Component as TikiReceipt and provides the service TikiService as an injectable object name Tiki.

2. Add the stylesheet for the component to your primary stylesheet (e.g. main.css)

With Vue >=3.0.0

@import "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor/dist/receipt-capacitor.css";

With Vue 2.7.15

@import "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor-vue2/dist/receipt-capacitor.css";

Initialization

To initialize just inject the TikiService and pass in your systems unique identifier for the user. If you use emails (you shouldn't 😝), we recommend hashing it first.

Initialize function reference →

With Vue >=3.0.0

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { inject } from "vue";
  import { type TikiService } from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor";
  
  const tiki: TikiService | undefined = inject("Tiki");
  tiki?.initialize(id).then(() => console.log("Tiki Initialized"));
</script>

With Vue 2.7.15

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { inject } from "vue";
  import { type TikiService } from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor-vue2";
  
  const tiki: TikiService | undefined = inject("Tiki");
  tiki?.initialize(id).then(() => console.log("Tiki Initialized"));
</script>

We recommend initializing as early as possible in your application. We scrape accounts (which can take a few seconds) in the background. If you initialize early, by the time the user launches the UI, all of their receipt data will be up-to-date. No worries if not, the UI will just update as data comes in.

Open UI

Add the TikiReceipt component to your template and a boolean Ref (e.g. present). Now just set present.value = true to open the UI.

With Vue >=3.0.0

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { inject, ref } from "vue";
  import { type TikiService } from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor";
  
  const tiki: TikiService | undefined = inject("Tiki");
  tiki?.initialize(id).then(() => console.log("Tiki Initialized"));
  const present = ref(false);
</script>

<template>
  <tiki-receipt v-model:present="present" />
</template>

With Vue 2.7.15

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { inject, ref } from "vue";
  import { type TikiService } from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor-vue2";
  
  const tiki: TikiService | undefined = inject("Tiki");
  tiki?.initialize(id).then(() => console.log("Tiki Initialized"));
  const present = ref(false);
</script>

<template>
  <tiki-receipt :present="present" @update:present="(val) => (present = val)"/>
</template>

Logout

When a user logs out of your application, you'll want to unlink connected accounts, delete cached credentials, and other user state data.

With Vue >=3.0.0

import { inject, ref } from "vue";
import { type TikiService } from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor";

const tiki: TikiService | undefined = inject("Tiki");
await tiki?.logout();

With Vue 2.7.15

import { inject, ref } from "vue";
import { type TikiService } from "@mytiki/receipt-capacitor-vue2";

const tiki: TikiService | undefined = inject("Tiki");
await tiki?.logout();

Don't worry, license records and rewards issued are backed up to TIKI's immutable, hosted storage for free. After the user logs back in, call .initialize and the library will rebuild their balance for you.

Reference Docs ⇢

Example

While this README is helpful, it's always easier to just see it in action. In /example there is simple demo app. On launch, it generates a new random user id, with a button called start.

Note, if you press start before the initialization is complete, a warning will hit your console logs.

• Check out example/src/main.ts to view an example configuration of the library.
• In example/src/app.vue you'll find Vue template showcasing initialization, logout, and using a button to open the pre-built UI.
• To run the example app call make vue[2,3]-example-[ios,android]. e.g. make vue3-example-android
