Defining a custom theme​

In order to alter at least one of the colors mentioned above, you need to pass it to the DocumentScannerConfiguration which is used to start the ready to use UI Scan components.

The following is an example which alters all currently available colors.

try{
    const scanConfig = {
        ColorConfig: {
            ColorTopBarBackground: {
            Light: '#4CAF50',
            Dark: '#2A2A2A'
            },
            ColorBottomBarBackground: {
            Light: '#FFFFFF',
            Dark: '#2A2A2A'
            },
            ColorPrimary: {
            Light: '#4CAF50',
            Dark: '#4CAF50'
            },
            ColorSecondary: {
            Light: '#4CAF50',
            Dark: '#4CAF50'
            },
            ColorOnSecondary: {
            Light: '#FFFFFF',
            Dark: '#000000'
            },
            ColorBottomBarForeground: {
            Light: '#121212',
            Dark: '#DEFFFFFF'
            },
            ColorScanButtonsForeground: {
            Light: '#FFFFFF',
            Dark: '#FFFFFF'
            },
            ColorScanButtonsLayoutBackground: {
            Light: '#121212',
            Dark: '#121212'
            },
            ColorScanPolygon: {
            Light: '#4CAF50',
            Dark: '#4CAF50'
            },
            ColorTopBarForeground: {
            Light: '#FFFFFF',
            Dark: '#DEFFFFFF'
            },
        }
    }
    //start the scanner
    const result = await DocutainSDKPromisify.scanDocument(scanConfig);
}catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}

Dark Mode​

The Docutain Scanner SDK also supports dark mode theming. This is why each color has a Light and a Dark version.

export interface DocutainColor {
  Light: string;
  Dark: string;
}

The colors will be automatically picked up based on the device setting. If it is currently in dark mode, the Docutain SDK will use the Dark versions of the colors, otherwise it will use the Light versions.

Document Scan Onboarding​

If a user opens the document scanner for the first time, an onboarding dialog appears. The displayed image can be customized by setting the onboardingImageSource of the DocumentScannerConfiguration. For Android it needs to be the name of an image in your drawable folder. For iOS it needs to be the name of an image in your assets catalog. In both cases do not include file extension.

try{
    const scanConfig = {
        onboardingImageSource: "your_custom_image"
    }
    //start the scanner
    const result = await DocutainSDKPromisify.scanDocument(scanConfig);
}catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}
caution

If you are using a custom image, you are responsible to test whether the dialog layout is fine.
