createVaultManager

createVaultManager(): HeadlessVaultManager

Get an instance of HeadlessVaultManager, which can be used to:

fetch a list of vaulted payment methods for the customerId attached to the client session
delete a vaulted payment method for the customerId attached to the client session
perform a payment using a vaulted payment method
create an input to collect the CVV for a vaulted payment method

Example:

// Headless Checkout initialisation
const headless = await Primer.createHeadless(clientToken, {
  onAvailablePaymentMethodsLoad: () => {
    // create your UI for displaying payment methods
  },
  container: "#checkout-container",
});
await headless.start();

// Headless Vault Manager initialisation
const vaultManager = headless.createVaultManager();

Returns

An instance of HeadlessVaultManager.

fetchVaultedPaymentMethods

() => Promise<VaultedPaymentMethod[]>

Get a list of VaultedPaymentMethod for the customerId attached to the client session. Build your own UI to display, manage and perform payments with them.

The list of vaulted payment methods is not affected by the checkout builder’s conditions. For example, if you configured the checkout builder to not show Paypal with the current client session, but Paypal was vaulted previously, fetchVaultedPaymentMethods will still return it.This issue will be addressed and resolved in an upcoming release.

// Initialise Headless Checkout ...

const vaultManager = headless.createVaultManager();
const vaultedPaymentMethods = await vaultManager.fetchVaultedPaymentMethods();

Throws an error if the call to retrieve the vaulted payment methods fails.

createCvvInput

(options: CardSecurityCodeInputOptions) => Promise<CvvInput | null>

Create a CvvInput that can be used to safely pass the secure code associated to a vaulted card to Primer’s backend.For security reasons, the input is rendered in an iframe on Primer’s domain and you won’t be able to access programmatically the value stored in the input.

const vaultManager = headless.createVaultManager();

// ... retrieve payment methods with fetchVaultedPaymentMethods

const cvvInput = await vaultManager.createCvvInput({
  cardNetwork: vaultedPaymentMethod.paymentInstrumentData.network,
  container: "#foo",
  name: "cvv",
  style,
  placeholder: "123",
});

// Somewhere else in your code, create a `submitButton` to start the payment
// and a `cvvError` container to show validation errors

submitButton.onclick = () => {
  // use metadata to show error messages
  cvvError.innerText = cvvInput.metadata.error ?? "";
  // don't start the payment flow if the `CVVInput` is in an invalid state
  if (cvvInput.metadata.error) return;
  try {
    vaultManager.startPaymentFlow(vaultedPaymentMethod.id, {
      cvv: cvvInput.valueToken,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    // handle errors
  }
};

Parameters:

Show CardSecurityCodeInputOptions

container

string

A CSS selector that identifies the container where the CvvInput will be appended. If the container is not found and the CVVInput cannot be mounted, the Promise returned by createCVVInput is resolved with null and an error message is logged to the developer’s console.

ariaLabel

Optional<string>

The aria-label attribute for the input element wrapped by CvvInput.

Optional<string>

The id attribute that will be assigned to the HTMLIFrameElement used by CvvInput.

name

Optional<string>

An optional name attribute for the input element wrapped by CvvInput.The name you provide will always be prefixed with cvv-, so if for example you pass name: 'custom' the CVVInput will wrap an HTMLInputElement that looks like this:

<input name="cvv-custom" /* Other attributes */ />

placeholder

Optional<string>

The placeholder attribute for the input element wrapped by CvvInput.

placement

Optional<'append' | 'prepend'>

Whether to append or prepend the CvvInput to its container.

properties

Optional<Object>

Additional attributes that can be applied to the HTMLInputElement wrapped by CvvInput.Any attribute that would be valid on an <input> can be used here, however:

name is taken directly from the CardSecurityCodeInputOptions options
maxLength and minLength will be inferred from the cardNetwork
type is always set to tel to provide a good UX when typing on a virtual keyboard
for security reasons event handlers such as onkeydown, onkeyup won’t be serialized and passed down to the input

You can pass other attributes such as data-*, aria-*…

style

Optional<CheckoutStyle>

A CheckoutStyle object that will be applied to the input element.

cardNetwork

Optional<string>

The card network to determine the length of the field for CVV validation.You should pass the paymentInstrumentData.network attribute on any of the VaultedPaymentMethods returned by fetchVaultedPaymentMethods.If you don’t pass a cardNetwork or the SDK cannot recognize the card network passed in, it will raise a warning and will default the validation of the CVV to a minimum length of 3 and a maximum length of 4.

Returns:

Show CvvInput

valueToken

string

The valueToken representing the actual CVV value not accessible for security reasons.You can forward the token to HeadlessVaultManager.startPaymentFlow as the cvv parameter and under the hood it will be replaced with the value entered by the user.You can also access the valueToken and be informed of when it changes using addListener('change', listener).

// use `metadata` to check for validation errors
if (cvvInput.metadata.error) {
  // display errors, don't start the payment flow
  return;
}
try {
  vaultManager.startPaymentFlow(vaultedPaymentMethod.id, {
    cvv: cvvInput.valueToken,
  });
} catch (error) {
  // Handle startPaymentFlow errors
}

addListener

(event: 'change' | 'focus' | 'blur', listener: Function) => Function

Add a listener for one of the supported events (change, focus and blur) and return a function that can be called without arguments to remove the listener.focus and blur listeners do not receive any arguments.change listeners receive the following arguments:

valueToken: a string representing the actual CVV value not accessible for security reasons
metadata: additional details on the state of the input field wrapped by the CvvInput.

Both valueToken and metadata can be also accessed directly on an instance of CvvInput (cvvInput.valueToken, cvvInput.metadata)

addEventListener

(event: 'change' | 'focus' | 'blur', listener: Function) => Function

Alias of addListener

removeListener

(event: 'change' | 'focus' | 'blur', listener: Function) => void

Removes a listener previously added with addListener. You should pass as parameters the exact same parameters passed to addListener.Alternatively, you can just use the function returned by addListener.Note: if you try to add a listener for an event that can’t be handled, addListener will not add it and it will return undefined instead of a function to remove it.

focus

() => void

Give focus to the HTMLInputElement wrapped by CvvInput.

blur

() => void

Remove focus from the HTMLInputElement wrapped by CvvInput.

remove

() => void

Removes the CvvInput field from the DOM and detaches all event listeners previously added with addListener.

frame

HTMLIFrameElement

A reference to the HTMLIFrameElement wrapping the input.

metadata

object

Additional details on the state of the input field wrapped by the CvvInput.

Show InputMetadata

error

"cvvRequired" | "cvvIncomplete" | null

A label describing validation errors, null if the input value has no validation errors.

valid

boolean

True if the input value has no validation errors.

active

boolean

True if the input is focused.

dirty

boolean

True if the input value is different from the initial.

touched

boolean

True if the input has been touched once.

name

string

The name attribute of the underlying HTMLInputElement field.

Errors:

If the container passed in the parameters is not found and the CVVInput cannot be mounted, the promise is resolved with null and an error message is logged to the developer’s console.

Example:

Wrap a CvvInput in a React component using addListener('change', listener):

const CvvInput = ({ onChange }) => {
  useEffect(() => {
    const cvvInput = headless.createCvvInput({
      cardNetwork: vaultedPaymentMethod.paymentInstrumentData.network,
      container: "#foo",
      name: "cvv",
      style,
      placeholder: "123",
    });
    cvvInput.addListener("change", onChange);
  }, []);

  return <div id="foo" />;
};

const CardForm = () => {
  const vaultManager = useVaultManager();
  const selectedVaultedPaymentMethod = useSelectedVaultedPaymentMethod();

  const [cvv, setCvv] = useState("");

  return (
    <div>
      <CvvInput onChange={(value) => setCvv(value)} />
      <SubmitButton
        onClick={() =>
          vaultManager.startPaymentFlow(vaultedPaymentMethod.id, { cvv })
        }
      />
    </div>
  );
};
