Skyflow’s iOS SDK can be used to securely collect, tokenize, and display sensitive data in the mobile without exposing your front-end infrastructure to sensitive data.
- Installation
- Initializing Skyflow-iOS
- Securely collecting data client-side
- Securely collecting data client-side using Composable Elements
- Securely revealing data client-side
- iOS 15.0 and above
- Go to File -> Swift Packages -> New Package Dependency (in Xcode IDE)
- Enter https://github.com/skyflowapi/skyflow-iOS.git and press ok.
- To integrate skyflow-iOS into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
#Mentioning the below source will pick the podspec from Skyflow repo #Otherwise you can add cocoapod trunk as the source #source 'https://github.com/skyflowapi/skyflow-iOS-spec.git' pod 'Skyflow'
Use the initialize()
method to initialize a Skyflow client as shown below.
//DemoTokenProvider is an implementation of the Skyflow.TokenProvider protocol
let demoTokenProvider = DemoTokenProvider()
let config = Skyflow.Configuration(
vaultID: <VAULT_ID>,
vaultURL: <VAULT_URL>,
tokenProvider: demoTokenProvider,
options: Skyflow.Options(
logLevel: Skyflow.LogLevel, // optional, if not specified default is ERROR
env: Skyflow.Env // optional, if not specified default is PROD
)
)
let skyflowClient = Skyflow.initialize(config)
For the tokenProvider parameter, pass in an implementation of the Skyflow.TokenProvider
protocol that declares a getBearerToken method which retrieves a Skyflow bearer token from your backend. This function will be invoked when the SDK needs to insert or retrieve data from the vault.
For example, if the response of the consumer tokenAPI is in the below format
{
"accessToken": string,
"tokenType": string
}
then, your Skyflow.TokenProvider Implementation should be as below
public class DemoTokenProvider: Skyflow.TokenProvider {
public func getBearerToken(_ apiCallback: Skyflow.Callback) {
if let url = URL(string: <YOUR_TOKEN_ENDPOINT>) {
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let task = session.dataTask(with: url) {data, _, error in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
return
}
if let safeData = data {
do {
let x = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: safeData, options: []) as? [String: String]
if let accessToken = x?["accessToken"] {
apiCallback.onSuccess(accessToken)
}
} catch {
apiCallback.onFailure(error)
}
}
}
task.resume()
}
}
}
NOTE: You should pass access token as String
value in the success callback of getBearerToken.
For logLevel
parameter, there are 4 accepted values in Skyflow.LogLevel
-
DEBUG
When
Skyflow.LogLevel.DEBUG
is passed, all level of logs will be printed(DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR). -
INFO
When
Skyflow.LogLevel.INFO
is passed, INFO logs for every event that has occurred during the SDK flow execution will be printed along with WARN and ERROR logs. -
WARN
When
Skyflow.LogLevel.WARN
is passed, WARN and ERROR logs will be printed. -
ERROR
When
Skyflow.LogLevel.ERROR
is passed, only ERROR logs will be printed.
Note
:
- The ranking of logging levels is as follows : DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR
- since
logLevel
is optional, by default the logLevel will beERROR
.
For env
parameter, there are 2 accepted values in Skyflow.Env
-
PROD
-
DEV
In Event Listeners, actual value of element can only be accessed inside the handler when the
env
is set toDEV
.
Note
:
- since
env
is optional, by default the env will bePROD
. - Use
env
option with caution, make sure the env is set toPROD
when usingskyflow-iOS
in production.
- Inserting data into the vault
- Using Skyflow Elements to collect data
- Using validations on Collect Elements
- Event Listener on Collect Elements
- UI Error for Collect Elements
- Set and Clear value for Collect Elements (DEV ENV ONLY)
To insert data into your vault, use the skyflowClient.insert()
method.
insert(records: [String: Any], options: InsertOptions?= InsertOptions() , callback: Skyflow.Callback)
The insert()
method requires a records parameter.
The records
parameter takes an array of records to insert into the vault.
let insertCallback = InsertCallback() //A Custom callback using Skyflow.Callback
skyflowClient.insert(
records: [
"records": [
[
"table": "cards",
"fields": [
"cardNumber": "41111111111",
"cvv": "123",
]
]
]
],
callback: insertCallback
)
Skyflow returns tokens for the record you just inserted.
{
"records": [ {
"table": "cards",
"fields": {
"cardNumber": "f37186-e7e2-466f-91e5-48e12c2bcbc1",
"cvv": "1989cb56-63da-4482-a2df-1f74cd0dd1a5"
}
}]
}
The options
parameter takes a Skyflow.InsertOptions object.
InsertOptions includes a tokens
boolean that controls whether you receive tokens after inserting a record into the vault.
InsertOptions also supports the upsert feature, that lets you conditionally insert or update an existing record by specifying the unique column to use as the unique value.
For example, if you specify the ‘customer_id’ column to use for upsert, and the same customer_id already exists, the existing record will update. If the customer_id doesn't exist, the vault creates a new record.
let records = [
"records" : [
[
"table": "customers", //The table where you are inserting the record.
"fields": [
"name" : "Francis",
"customer_id" : "12345"
]
]
]
]
let upsertOptions = [["table": "customers", "column": "customer_id"]] as [[String : Any]]
let insertOptions = Skyflow.InsertOptions(tokens: false, upsert: upsertOptions)
let insertCallback = InsertCallback() //Custom callback - implementation of Skyflow.Callback
skyflowClient.insert(records: records, options: insertOptions, callback: insertCallback)
Skyflow Elements provide developers with pre-built form elements to securely collect sensitive data client-side. This reduces your PCI compliance scope by not exposing your front-end application to sensitive data. Follow the steps below to securely collect data with Skyflow Elements in your application.
First create a container for the form elements using the skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType)
method as show below
let container = skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType.COLLECT)
To create a collect Element, we must first construct a Skyflow.CollectElementInput object defined as shown below:
let collectElementInput = Skyflow.CollectElementInput(
table: String, // optional, the table this data belongs to
column: String, // optional, the column into which this data should be inserted
inputStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that should be applied to the form element
labelStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the label of the collect element
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the errorText of the collect element
label: String, // optional label for the form element
placeholder: String, // optional placeholder for the form element
altText: String, // (DEPRECATED) optional that acts as an initial value for the collect element
validations: ValidationSet, // optional set of validations for the input element
type: Skyflow.ElementType, // Skyflow.ElementType enum
)
The table
and column
fields indicate which table and column in the vault the Element corresponds to. Note:
- Use dot delimited strings to specify columns nested inside JSON fields (e.g.
address.street.line1
) table
andcolumn
are optional only if the element is being used in invokeConnection()
The inputStyles
parameter accepts a Skyflow.Styles object which consists of multiple Skyflow.Styles
objects which should be applied to the form element in the following states:
base
: all other variants inherit from these stylescomplete
: applied when the Element has valid inputempty
: applied when the Element has no inputfocus
: applied when the Element has focusinvalid
: applied when the Element has invalid input
Each Style object accepts the following properties, please note that each property is optional:
let style = Skyflow.Style(
borderColor: UIColor, // optional
cornerRadius: CGFloat, // optional
padding: UIEdgeInsets, // optional
borderWidth: CGFloat, // optional
font: UIFont, // optional
textAlignment: NSTextAlignment, // optional
textColor: UIColor, // optional
boxShadow: CALayer, // optional
backgroundColor: UIColor, // optional
minWidth: CGFloat, // optional
maxWidth: CGFloat, // optional
minHeight: CGFloat, // optional
maxHeight: CGFloat, // optional
cursorColor: UIColor, // optional
width: CGFloat, // optional
height: CGFloat, // optional
placeholderColor: UIColor, // optional
cardIconAlignment: CardIconAlignment // optional, Skyflow.CardIconAlignment enum, default is .left
)
An example Skyflow.Styles object
let styles = Skyflow.Styles(
base: style, // optional
complete: style, // optional
empty: style, // optional
focus: style, // optional
invalid: style, // optional
requiredAsterisk: style // optional
)
The labelStyles
and errorTextStyles
fields accept the above mentioned Skyflow.Styles
object which are applied to the label
and errorText
text views respectively.
The states that are available for labelStyles
are base
and focus
.
requiredAsterisk
: Styles applied for the Asterisk symbol in the label. Defaults to red.
The state that is available for errorTextStyles
is only the base
state, it shows up when there is some error in the collect element.
The parameters in Skyflow.Style
object that are respected for label
and errorText
text views are
- padding
- font
- textColor
- textAlignment
Other parameters in the Skyflow.Style
object are ignored for label
and errorText
text views.
Finally, the type
parameter takes a Skyflow.ElementType. Each type applies the appropriate regex and validations to the form element. There are currently 5 types:
INPUT_FIELD
CARDHOLDER_NAME
CARD_NUMBER
EXPIRATION_DATE
CVV
PIN
EXPIRATION_YEAR
EXPIRATION_MONTH
The INPUT_FIELD
type is a custom UI element without any built-in validations. See the section on validations for more information on validations.
Along with CollectElementInput
, you can define other options in the CollectElementOptions
object which is described below.
Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(
required: Boolean, // Indicates whether the field is marked as required. Defaults to 'false'
enableCardIcon: Boolean, // Indicates whether card icon should be enabled (only for CARD_NUMBER inputs)
format: String, // Format for the element
translation: [Character: String] // Indicates the allowed data type value for format.
enableCopy: Boolean, // Indicates whether to enable the copy icon in collect elements to copy text to clipboard. Defaults to 'false'
cardMetaData: [String: [Skyflow.CardType]] // Optional, metadata to control card number element behavior. (only applicable for CARD_NUMBER ElementType).
)
required
: Indicates whether the field is marked as required or not. Default isfalse
.enableCardIcon
: Indicates whether the icon is visible for the CARD_NUMBER element. Default istrue
.format
: A string value that indicates the format pattern applicable to the element type. Only applicable to EXPIRATION_DATE, CARD_NUMBER, EXPIRATION_YEAR, and INPUT_FIELD elements. For INPUT_FIELD elements,- the length of
format
determines the expected length of the user input. - if
translation
isn't specified, theformat
value is considered a string literal.
- the length of
translation
: A dictionary of key/value pairs, where the key is a character that appears informat
and the value is a regex pattern of acceptable inputs for that character. Each key can only appear once. Only applicable for INPUT_FIELD elements.enableCopy
: Indicates whether to enable the copy icon in collect elements to copy text to clipboard.cardMetaData
: An object of metadata keys to control card number element behavior. It supports an optional key calledscheme
, which accepts an array of Skyflow-supported card types and determines which brands display in the card number element's card brand choice dropdown.Skyflow.CardType
is an enum with all Skyflow-supported card schemes.
import Skyflow
const cardMetaData = [ "scheme": [Skyflow.CardType]] // Optional, array of skyflow supported card types.
VISA
MASTERCARD
AMEX
DINERS_CLUB
DISCOVER
JCB
MAESTRO
UNIONPAY
HIPERCARD
CARTES_BANCAIRES
Update cardMetaData:
cardNumberElement.update(updateOptions: CollectElementOptions(cardMetaData: ["scheme": [Skyflow.CardType.CARTES_BANCAIRES, Skyflow.CardType.MASTERCARD]]))
Accepted values by element type:
Element type | format and translation values |
Examples |
---|---|---|
EXPIRATION_DATE |
|
|
EXPIRATION_YEAR |
|
|
CARD_NUMBER |
|
|
INPUT_FIELD |
|
With a format of +91 XXXX-XX-XXXX and a translation of [ "X": "[0-9]"] , user input of "1234121234" displays as "+91 1234-12-1234". |
Collect Element Options examples for INPUT_FIELD Example 1
Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(
required: true,
enableCardIcon: true,
format: "+91 XXXX-XX-XXXX",
translation: [ "X": "[0-9]"]
)
User input: "1234121234"
Value displayed in INPUT_FIELD: "+91 1234-12-1234"
Example 2
Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(
required: true,
enableCardIcon: true,
format: "AY XX-XXX-XXXX",
translation: [ "X": "[0-9]", "Y": "[A-Z]"]
)
User input: "B1234121234"
Value displayed in INPUT_FIELD: "AB 12-341-2123"
Once the Skyflow.CollectElementInput
and Skyflow.CollectElementOptions
objects are defined, add to the container using the create(input: CollectElementInput, options: CollectElementOptions)
method as shown below. The input
param takes a Skyflow.CollectElementInput
object as defined above and the options
parameter takes an Skyflow.CollectElementOptions
object as described below:
let collectElementInput = Skyflow.CollectElementInput(
table: String, // the table this data belongs to
column: String, // the column into which this data should be inserted
inputStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that should be applied to the form element
labelStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the label of the collect element
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the errorText of the collect element
label: String, // optional label for the form element
placeholder: String, // optional placeholder for the form element
altText: String, // (DEPRECATED) optional that acts as an initial value for the collect element
validations: ValidationSet, // optional set of validations for the input element
type: Skyflow.ElementType, // Skyflow.ElementType enum
)
let collectElementOptions = Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(
required: false, // indicates whether the field is marked as required. Defaults to 'false',
enableCardIcon: true, // indicates whether card icon should be enabled (only for CARD_NUMBER inputs)
format: "mm/yy" // format for the element,
enableCopy: true, // indicates whether to enable the copy icon in collect elements to copy text to clipboard. Defaults to 'false'
)
let element = container?.create(input: collectElementInput, options: collectElementOptions)
To specify where the Elements will be rendered on the screen, create a parent UIView (like UIStackView, etc) and you can add it as a subview programmatically.
let stackView = UIStackView()
stackView.addArrangedSubview(element)
The Skyflow Element is an implementation of the UIView so it can be used/mounted similarly. Alternatively, you can use the unmount
method to reset any collect element to it's initial state
func clearFieldsOnSubmit(_ elements: [TextField]) {
// resets all elements in the array
for element in elements {
element.unmount()
}
}
When you submit the form, call the collect(options: Skyflow.CollectOptions? = nil, callback: Skyflow.Callback)
method on the container object. The options parameter takes a Skyflow.CollectOptions
object as shown below:
// Non-PCI records
let nonPCIRecords = ["table": "persons", "fields": [["gender": "MALE"]]]
// Upsert
let upsertOptions = [["table": "cards", "column": "cardNumber"]] as [[String : Any]]
// Send the non-PCI records as additionalFields of InsertOptions (optional) and apply upsert using `upsert` field of InsertOptions (optional)
let options = Skyflow.CollectOptions(tokens: true, additionalFields: nonPCIRecords)
//Custom callback - implementation of Skyflow.callback
let insertCallback = InsertCallback()
container?.collect(callback: insertCallback, options: options)
//Initialize skyflow configuration.
let config = Skyflow.Configuration(vaultID: VAULT_ID, vaultURL: VAULT_URL, tokenProvider: demoTokenProvider)
//Initialize skyflow client.
let skyflowClient = Skyflow.initialize(config)
//Create a CollectContainer.
let container = skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType.COLLECT)
//Create Skyflow.Styles with individual Skyflow.Style variants.
let baseStyle = Skyflow.Style(borderColor: UIColor.blue)
let baseTextStyle = Skyflow.Style(textColor: UIColor.black)
let completeStyle = Skyflow.Style(borderColor: UIColor.green)
let focusTextStyle = Skyflow.Style(textColor: UIColor.red)
let inputStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: baseStyle, complete: completeStyle)
let labelStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: baseTextStyle, focus: focusTextStyle)
let errorTextStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: baseTextStyle)
let iconStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: Style(cardIconAlignment: .left))
// Create a CollectElementInput.
let input = Skyflow.CollectElementInput(
table: "cards",
column: "cardNumber",
inputStyles: inputStyles,
labelStyles: labelStyles,
errorTextStyles: errorTextStyles,
iconStyles: iconStyles,
label: "card number",
placeholder: "card number",
type: Skyflow.ElementType.CARD_NUMBER
)
// Create an option to require the element.
let requiredOption = Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(required: true, enableCopy: true)
// Create a Collect Element from the Collect Container.
let skyflowElement = container?.create(input: input, options: requiredOption)
// Can interact with this object as a normal UIView Object and add to View
// Non-PCI records
let nonPCIRecords = ["table": "persons", "fields": [["gender": "MALE"]]]
//Upsert options
let upsertOptions = [["table": "cards", "column": "cardNumber"]] as [[String : Any]]
// Send the Non-PCI records as additionalFields of CollectOptions (optional) and apply upsert using optional field `upsert` of CollectOptions.
let collectOptions = Skyflow.CollectOptions(tokens: true, additionalFields: nonPCIRecords, upsert: upsertOptions)
//Implement a custom Skyflow.Callback to call on Insertion success/failure.
public class InsertCallback: Skyflow.Callback {
public func onSuccess(_ responseBody: Any) {
print(responseBody)
}
public func onFailure(_ error: Any) {
print(error)
}
}
// Initialize custom Skyflow.Callback.
let insertCallback = InsertCallback()
// Call collect method on CollectContainer.
container?.collect(callback: insertCallback, options: collectOptions)
{
"records": [ {
"table": "cards",
"fields": {
"cardNumber": "f3907186-e7e2-466f-91e5-48e12c2bcbc1"
}
}, {
"table": "persons",
"fields": {
"gender": "12f670af-6c7d-4837-83fb-30365fbc0b1e",
}
}]
}
Skyflow-iOS provides two types of validations on Collect Elements
Every Collect Element except of type INPUT_FIELD
has a set of default validations listed below:
CARD_NUMBER
: Card number validation with checkSum algorithm(Luhn algorithm), available card lengths for defined card typesCARD_HOLDER_NAME
: Name should be 2 or more symbols, valid characters should match pattern -^([a-zA-Z\\ \\,\\.\\-\\']{2,})$
CVV
: Card CVV can have 3-4 digitsEXPIRATION_DATE
: Any date starting from current month. By default valid expiration date should be in short year format -MM/YY
PIN
: Can have 4-12 digits
Custom validations can be added to any element which will be checked after the default validations have passed. The following Custom validation rules are currently supported:
RegexMatchRule
: You can use this rule to specify any Regular Expression to be matched with the text field valueLengthMatchRule
: You can use this rule to set the minimum and maximum permissible length of the textfield valueElementValueMatchRule
: You can use this rule to match the value of one element with another
The Sample code below illustrates the usage of custom validations:
/*
Reset Password - A simple example that illustrates custom validations.
The below code shows two input fields with custom validations,
one to enter a password and the second to confirm the same password.
*/
var myRuleset = ValidationSet()
let strongPasswordRule = RegexMatchRule(
regex: "^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\\d)[A-Za-z\\d]*$",
error: "At least one letter and one number"
) // This rule enforces a strong password
let lengthRule = LengthMatchRule(
minLength: 8,
maxLength: 16,
error: "Must be between 8 and 16 digits"
) // this rule allows input length between 8 and 16 characters
// for the Password element
myRuleset.add(rule: strongPasswordRule)
myRuleset.add(rule: lengthRule)
let collectElementOptions = CollectElementOptions(required: true)
let passwordInput = CollectElementInput(
inputStyles: styles,
label: "password",
placeholder: "********",
type: .INPUT_FIELD,
validations: myRuleset
)
let password = container?.create(input: passwordInput, options: collectElementOptions)
// For confirm password element - shows error when the passwords don't match
let elementValueMatchRule = ElementValueMatchRule(element: password!, error: "passwords don't match")
let confirmPasswordInput = CollectElementInput(
inputStyles: styles,
label: "Confirm password",
placeholder: "********",
type: .INPUT_FIELD,
validations: ValidationSet(rules: [strongPasswordRule, lengthRule, elementValueMatchRule])
)
let confirmPassword = container?.create(input: confirmPasswordInput, options: collectElementOptions)
// mount elements on screen - errors will be shown if any of the validaitons fail
stackView.addArrangedSubview(password!)
stackView.addArrangedSubview(confirmPassword!)
Helps to communicate with skyflow elements by listening to an event
element!.on(eventName: Skyflow.EventName) { _ in
// handle function
}
There are 4 events in Skyflow.EventName
CHANGE
Change event is triggered when the Element's value changes.READY
Ready event is triggered when the Element is fully renderedFOCUS
Focus event is triggered when the Element gains focusBLUR
Blur event is triggered when the Element loses focus. The handler(state: [String: Any]) -> Void
is a callback function you provide, that will be called when the event is fired with the state object as shown below.
let state = [
"elementType": Skyflow.ElementType,
"isEmpty": Bool ,
"isFocused": Bool,
"isValid": Bool,
"value": String,
"selectedCardScheme": String // only for CARD_NUMBER element type
]
Note:
- values of SkyflowElements will be returned in element state object only when
env
isDEV
, else it is empty string i.e, '', but in case of CARD_NUMBER type element when theenv
isPROD
for all the card types except AMEX, it will return first eight digits, for AMEX it will return first six digits and rest all digits in masked format. selectedCardScheme
is only populated for theCARD_NUMBER
element state when a user chooses a card brand. By default,selectedCardScheme
is an empty string.

// Your implementation when Change event occurs
print(state)
}
cardHolderName.on(eventName: Skyflow.EventName.CHANGE) { state in
// Your implementation when Change event occurs
print(state)
}

]
Helps to display custom error messages on the Skyflow Elements through the methods setError
and resetError
on the elements.
setError(error: String)
method is used to set the error text for the element, when this method is trigerred, all the current errors present on the element will be overridden with the custom error message passed. This error will be displayed on the element until resetError()
is trigerred on the same element.
resetError()
method is used to clear the custom error message that is set using setError
.
// Create skyflow client with loglevel:"DEBUG"
let config = Skyflow.Configuration(
vaultID: VAULT_ID,
vaultURL: VAULT_URL,
tokenProvider: demoTokenProvider,

column: "cardNumber",
type: Skyflow.ElementType.CARD_NUMBER
)
let cardNumber = container.create(input: cardNumberInput)
// Set custom error
cardNumber.setError("custom error")
// Reset custom error
cardNumber.resetError()
setValue(value: String)
method is used to set the value of the element. This method will override any previous value present in the element.
clearValue()
method is used to reset the value of the element.
Note:
This methods are only available in DEV env for testing/developmental purposes and MUST NOT be used in PROD env.
// Create skyflow client with env DEV
let config = Skyflow.Configuration(
vaultID: VAULT_ID,
vaultURL: VAULT_URL,
tokenProvider: demoTokenProvider,

)
let cardNumber = container.create(input: cardNumberInput)
// Set a value programatically
cardNumber.setValue("4111111111111111")
// Clear the value
cardNumber.clearValue()
Composable Elements combine multiple Skyflow Elements in a single row. The following steps create a composable element and securely collect data through it.
First create a container for the form elements using the skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType)
method as show below
let container = skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType.COMPOSABLE, options: ContainerOptions)
The container requires an options object that contains the following keys:
-
layout
: An array that indicates the number of rows in the container and the number of elements in each row. The index value of the array defines the number of rows, and each value in the array represents the number of elements in that row, in order.For example:
[2,1]
means the container has two rows, with two elements in the first row and one element in the second row.Note
: The sum of values in the layout array should be equal to the number of elements created -
styles
: styles to apply to each composable row. -
errorTextStyles
: styles to apply if an error is encountered.
var containerOptions = ContainerOptions(
layout: [1,1,2], // required
styles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles //optional
)
Composable Elements use the following schema:
let composableElementInput = Skyflow.CollectElementInput(
table: String, // optional, the table this data belongs to
column: String, // optional, the column into which this data should be inserted
inputStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that should be applied to the form element
labelStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the label of the collect element
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the errorText of the collect element
label: String, // optional label for the form element
placeholder: String, // optional placeholder for the form element
altText: String, // (DEPRECATED) optional that acts as an initial value for the collect element
validations: ValidationSet, // optional set of validations for the input element
type: Skyflow.ElementType, // Skyflow.ElementType enum
)
The table
and column
fields indicate which table and column in the vault the Element correspond to.
Note:
- Use dot delimited strings to specify columns nested inside JSON fields (e.g.

)
The inputStyles
parameter accepts a Skyflow.Styles object which consists of multiple Skyflow.Styles
objects which should be applied to the form element in the following states:
base
: all other variants inherit from these stylescomplete
: applied when the Element has valid inputempty
: applied when the Element has no inputfocus
: applied when the Element has focusinvalid
: applied when the Element has invalid input
Each Style object accepts the following properties, please note that each property is optional:
let style = Skyflow.Style(
borderColor: UIColor, // optional
cornerRadius: CGFloat, // optional
padding: UIEdgeInsets, // optional
borderWidth: CGFloat, // optional
font: UIFont, // optional
textAlignment: NSTextAlignment, // optional
textColor: UIColor // optional
)
An example Skyflow.Styles object
let styles = Skyflow.Styles(
base: style, // optional
complete: style, // optional
empty: style, // optional
focus: style, // optional
invalid: style // optional
)
The labelStyles
and errorTextStyles
fields accept the above mentioned Skyflow.Styles
object which are applied to the label
and errorText
text views respectively.
The states that are available for labelStyles
are base
and focus
.
The state that is available for errorTextStyles
is only the base
state, it shows up when there is some error in the composable element.
The parameters in Skyflow.Style
object that are respected for label
and errorText
text views are
- padding
- font
- textColor
- textAlignment
Other parameters in the Skyflow.Style
object are ignored for label
and errorText
text views.
Finally, the type
parameter takes a Skyflow.ElementType. Each type applies the appropriate regex and validations to the form element.
The iOS SDK supports the following composable elements:
INPUT_FIELD
CARDHOLDER_NAME
CARD_NUMBER
EXPIRATION_DATE
CVV
PIN
EXPIRATION_YEAR
EXPIRATION_MONTH
Note: Only when the entered value in the below composable elements is valid, the focus shifts automatically. The element types are:
CARD_NUMBER
EXPIRATION_DATE
EXPIRATION_MONTH
EXPIRATION_YEAR
The INPUT_FIELD
type is a custom UI element without any built-in validations. See the section on validations for more information on validations.
Along with CollectElementInput
, you can define other options in the CollectElementOptions
object which is described below.
Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(
required: Boolean, // Indicates whether the field is marked as required. Defaults to 'false'
enableCardIcon: Boolean, // Indicates whether card icon should be enabled (only for CARD_NUMBER inputs)
format: String, // Format for the element
translation: [Character: String] // Indicates the allowed data type value for format.
)
required
: Indicates whether the field is marked as required or not. Default isfalse
.enableCardIcon
: Indicates whether the icon is visible for the CARD_NUMBER element. Default istrue
.format
: A string value that indicates the format pattern applicable to the element type. Only applicable to EXPIRATION_DATE, CARD_NUMBER, EXPIRATION_YEAR, and INPUT_FIELD elements. For INPUT_FIELD elements,- the length of
format
determines the expected length of the user input. - if
translation
isn't specified, theformat
value is considered a string literal.
- the length of
translation
: A dictionary of key/value pairs, where the key is a character that appears informat
and the value is a regex pattern of acceptable inputs for that character. Each key can only appear once. Only applicable for INPUT_FIELD elements.
The accepted EXPIRATION_DATE values are
mm/yy
(default)mm/yyyy
yy/mm
yyyy/mm
The accepted EXPIRATION_YEAR values are
yy
(default)yyyy
Once the Skyflow.CollectElementInput
and Skyflow.CollectElementOptions
objects are defined, add to the container using the create(input: CollectElementInput, options: CollectElementOptions)
method as shown below. The input
param takes a Skyflow.CollectElementInput
object as defined above and the options
parameter takes an Skyflow.CollectElementOptions
object as described below:
let composableElementInput = Skyflow.CollectElementInput(
table: String, // the table this data belongs to
column: String, // the column into which this data should be inserted
inputStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that should be applied to the form element
labelStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the label of the collect element
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the errorText of the collect element
label: String, // optional label for the form element
placeholder: String, // optional placeholder for the form element
altText: String, // (DEPRECATED) optional that acts as an initial value for the collect element
validations: ValidationSet, // optional set of validations for the input element
type: Skyflow.ElementType, // Skyflow.ElementType enum
)
let collectElementOptions = Skyflow.CollectElementOptions(
required: false, // indicates whether the field is marked as required. Defaults to 'false',
enableCardIcon: true, // indicates whether card icon should be enabled (only for CARD_NUMBER inputs)
format: "mm/yy" // Format for the element
)
let element = container?.create(input: composableElementInput, options: collectElementOptions)
To specify where the Elements will be rendered on the screen, create a parent UIView (like UIStackView, etc) and you can add composable elements view using container?.getComposableView()
, it as a subview programmatically.
let stackView = UIStackView()
do {
let composableView = try container?.getComposableView()
stackView.addArrangedSubview(composableView)
} catch {
print(error)
}
The Skyflow Element is an implementation of the UIView so it can be used/mounted similarly. Alternatively, you can use the unmount
method to reset any collect element to it's initial state
func clearFieldsOnSubmit(_ elements: [TextField]) {
// resets all elements in the array
for element in elements {
element.unmount()
}
}
When you submit the form, call the collect(options: Skyflow.CollectOptions? = nil, callback: Skyflow.Callback)
method on the container object.
The options parameter takes a Skyflow.CollectOptions
object as shown below:
tokens
: Whether or not tokens for the collected data are returned. Defaults to 'true'additionalFields
: Non-PCI elements data to insert into the vault, specified in the records object format.upsert
: To support upsert operations, the table containing the data and a column marked as unique in that table.
// Non-PCI records
let nonPCIRecords = ["table": "persons", "fields": [["gender": "MALE"]]]
// Upsert
let upsertOptions = [["table": "cards", "column": "cardNumber"]] as [[String : Any]]
// Send the non-PCI records as additionalFields of InsertOptions (optional) and apply upsert using `upsert` field of InsertOptions (optional)
let options = Skyflow.CollectOptions(tokens: true, additionalFields: nonPCIRecords, upsert: upsertOptions)

For information on validations, see validations.
You can communicate with Skyflow Elements by listening to element events:
element!.on(eventName: Skyflow.EventName) { _ in
// handle function
}
The SDK supports four events:
- CHANGE: Triggered when the Element's value changes.
- READY: Triggered when the Element is fully rendered.
- FOCUS: Triggered when the Element gains focus.
- BLUR: Triggered when the Element loses focus.
The handler (state: [String: Any]) -> Void
is a callback function you provide, that will be called when the event is fired with the state object as shown below.
let state = [
"elementType": Skyflow.ElementType,
"isEmpty": Bool ,
"isFocused": Bool,
"isValid": Bool,
"value": String
]
Note
:
values of SkyflowElements will be returned in element state object only when env
is DEV
, else it is empty string i.e, '', but in case of CARD_NUMBER type element when the env
is PROD
for all the card types except AMEX, it will return first eight digits, for AMEX it will return first six digits and rest all digits in masked format.

You can update composable element properties with the update
interface.
The update
interface takes the below object:
let updateElement = Skyflow.CollectElementInput(
table: String, // optional the table this data belongs to
column: String, // optional the column into which this data should be inserted
inputStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that should be applied to the form element
labelStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the label of the collect element
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles, // optional styles that will be applied to the errorText of the collect element
label: String, // optional label for the form element
placeholder: String, // optional placeholder for the form element
altText: String, // (DEPRECATED) optional that acts as an initial value for the collect element
validations: ValidationSet, // optional set of validations for the input element
)
Only include the properties that you want to update for the specified composable element.
Properties your provided when you created the element remain the same until you explicitly update them.
Note
: You can't update the type property of an element.

Currently, the SDK supports one event:
SUBMIT
: Triggered when the Enter key is pressed in any container element.
The handler function(void) -> void is a callback function you provide that's called when the SUBMIT
event fires.
let containerOptions = ContainerOptions(layout: [1], styles: Styles(base: Style(borderColor: UIColor.gray)), errorTextStyles: Styles(base: Style(textColor: UIColor.red)))
//Create a Composable Container.
let composableContainer = self.skyflow?.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType.COMPOSABLE, options: containerOptions)

}
- Retrieving data from the vault
- Using Skyflow Elements to reveal data
- UI Error for Reveal Elements
- Set token for Reveal Elements
- Set and clear altText for Reveal Elements
For non-PCI use-cases, retrieving data from the vault and revealing it in the mobile can be done either using the SkyflowID's or tokens as described below
-
To retrieve record data using tokens, use the
detokenize(records)
method. The records parameter takes a Dictionary object that contains tokens forrecord
values to fetchNote:[ "records": [ [ "token": String, "redaction": Skyflow.RedactionType // Optional. Redaction to apply for retrieved data. ] ] ]
redaction
defaults to RedactionType.PLAIN_TEXT.
The following example code makes a detokenize call to reveal the masked value of a token:
let getCallback = GetCallback() // Custom callback - implementation of Skyflow.Callback
let records = [
"records": [
[
"token": "45012507-f72b-4f5c-9bf9-86b133bae719",
],
[
"token": "1r434532-6f76-4319-bdd3-96281e051051",
"redaction": Skyflow.RedactionType.MASKED
]
]
] as [String: Any]
skyflowClient.detokenize(records: records, callback: getCallback)
The sample response:
{
"records": [
{
"token": "131e70dc-6f76-4319-bdd3-96281e051051",
"value": "1990-01-01"
},
{
"token": "1r434532-6f76-4319-bdd3-96281e051051",
"value": "xxxxxxer",
}
]
}
-
For retrieving data from the vault, use the
get(records: JSONObject, options: GetOptions? = GetOptions(), callback: Skyflow.Callback)
method. Therecords
parameter takes a Dictionary object that containsrecords
to be fetched as shown below. Each object inside array should contain:- Either an array of Skyflow IDs to fetch
- Or a column name and an array of column values
The second parameter,
options
, is aGetOptions
object that retrieves tokens of Skyflow IDs.Notes:
- You can use either Skyflow IDs or unique values to retrieve records. You can't use both at the same time.
- GetOptions parameter is applicable only for retrieving tokens using Skyflow ID.
- You can't pass GetOptions along with the redaction type.
- tokens defaults to false.
[
"records": [
[
"ids": ArrayList<String>(), // Array of SkyflowID's of the records to be fetched
"table": String, // Name of table holding the above skyflow_id's
"redaction": Skyflow.RedactionType // Redaction to be applied to retrieved data
],
[
"columnValues": ArrayList<String>(), // Array of column values of the records to be fetched
"table": String, // Name of table holding the above skyflow_id's
"columnName": String, // A unique column name
"redaction": Skyflow.RedactionType // Redaction to be applied to retrieved data
],
]
]
There are 4 accepted values in Skyflow.RedactionTypes:
PLAIN_TEXT
MASKED
REDACTED

Skyflow Elements can be used to securely reveal data in an application without exposing your front end to the sensitive data. This is great for use-cases like card issuance where you may want to reveal the card number to a user without increasing your PCI compliance scope.
To start, create a container using the skyflowClient.container(Skyflow.ContainerType.REVEAL)
method as shown below.
let container = skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType.REVEAL)
To create a reveal Element, we must first construct a Skyflow.RevealElementInput object defined as shown below:
let revealElementInput = Skyflow.RevealElementInput(
token: String, // optional, token of the data being revealed
inputStyles: Skyflow.Styles(), // optional, styles to be applied to the element
labelStyles: Skyflow.Styles(), // optional, styles to be applied to the label of the reveal element
errorTextStyles: Skyflow.Styles(), // optional styles that will be applied to the errorText of the reveal element
label: "cardNumber", // optional, label for the element,
altText: "XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX", // optional, string that is shown before reveal, will show token if it is not provided
redaction: Skyflow.RedactionType, // optional. Redaction to apply for retrieved data. E.g. RedactionType.MASKED
)
Note
:
token
is optional only if it is being used in invokeConnection()redaction
defaults toRedactionType.PLAIN_TEXT
.
The inputStyles
parameter accepts a styles object as described in the previous section for collecting data but the only state available for a reveal element is the base state.
The labelStyles
and errorTextStyles
fields accept the above mentioned Skyflow.Styles
object as described in the previous section, the only state available for a reveal element is the base state.
The inputStyles
, labelStyles
and errorTextStyles
parameters accepts a styles object as described in the previous section for collecting data but only a single variant is available i.e. base.
An example of a inputStyles object:
let inputStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: Skyflow.Style(borderColor: UIColor.green))
An example of a labelStyles object:
let labelStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: Skyflow.Style(font: UIFont (name: "GILLSANSCE-ROMAN", size: 12))))
An example of a errorTextStyles object:
let labelStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: Skyflow.Style(textColor: UIColor.red))
Along with RevealElementInput
, you can define other options in the RevealElementOptions
object as described below:
Skyflow.RevealElementOptions(
format: String, // Format for the element.
translation: [Character: String] // Indicates the allowed data type value for format
enableCopy: Boolean, // Indicates whether to enable the copy icon in reveal elements to copy text to clipboard. Defaults to 'false'
)
format
: A string value that indicates how the element should display the value, including placeholder characters that map to keystranslation
Iftranslation
isn't specified, theformat
value is considered a string literal.translation
: A dictionary of key/value pairs, where the key is a character that appears informat
and the value is a regex pattern of acceptable inputs for that character. Each key can only appear once. Defaults to[ "X": "[0-9]"]
.enableCopy
: Indicates whether to enable the copy icon in reveal elements to copy text to clipboard.
Reveal Element Options examples:
Example 1:
Skyflow.RevealElementOptions(
format: "(XXX) XXX-XXXX",
translation: [ "X": "[0-9]"]
)
Value from vault: "1234121234"
Value displayed in element: "(123) 412-1234"
Example 2:
Skyflow.RevealElementOptions(
format: "XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX",
translation: [ "X": "[0-9]"]

Value from vault: "374200000000004"
Value displayed in element: "3742-000000-00004"
Once you've defined a Skyflow.RevealElementInput
object and Skyflow.RevealElementOptions
, you can use the create()
method of the container to create the Element as shown below:
let element = container.create(input: revealElementInput, options: Skyflow.RevealElementOptions(format: "XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX",
translation: ["X": "[0-9]"]
))
Elements used for revealing data are mounted to the screen the same way as Elements used for collecting data. Refer to Step 3 of the section above.
When the sensitive data is ready to be retrieved and revealed, call the reveal()
method on the container as shown below:
let revealCallback = RevealCallback() // Custom callback - implementation of Skyflow.Callback
container.reveal(callback: revealCallback)
Helps to display custom error messages on the Skyflow Elements through the methods setError
and resetError
on the elements.
setError(error: String)
method is used to set the error text for the element, when this method is trigerred, all the current errors present on the element will be overridden with the custom error message passed. This error will be displayed on the element until resetError()
is trigerred on the same element.
resetError()
method is used to clear the custom error message that is set using setError
.
The setToken(value: String)
method can be used to set the token of the Reveal Element. If no altText is set, the set token will be displayed on the UI as well. If altText is set, then there will be no change in the UI but the token of the element will be internally updated.
The setAltText(value: String)
method can be used to set the altText of the Reveal Element. This will cause the altText to be displayed in the UI regardless of whether the token or value is currently being displayed.
clearAltText()
method can be used to clear the altText, this will cause the element to display the token or actual value of the element. If the element has no token, the element will be empty.
// Initialize skyflow configuration
let config = Skyflow.Configuration(vaultID: <VAULT_ID>, vaultURL: <VAULT_URL>, tokenProvider: demoTokenProvider)
// Initialize skyflow client
let skyflowClient = Skyflow.initialize(config)
// Create a Reveal Container
let container = skyflowClient.container(type: Skyflow.ContainerType.REVEAL)
// Create Skyflow.Styles with individual Skyflow.Style variants
let baseStyle = Skyflow.Style(borderColor: UIColor.blue)
let baseTextStyle = Skyflow.Style(textColor: UIColor.BLACK)
let inputStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: baseStyle)
let labelStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: baseTextStyle)
let errorTextStyles = Skyflow.Styles(base: baseTextStyle)

)
let expiryDateElement = container?.create(input: expiryDateInput)
// Can interact with these objects as a normal UIView Object and add to View
// set error to the element
cvvElement!.setError("custom error")
// reset error to the element
cvvElement!.resetError()
// Implement a custom Skyflow.Callback to be called on Reveal success/failure
public class RevealCallback: Skyflow.Callback {
public func onSuccess(_ responseBody: Any) {
print(responseBody)
}
public func onFailure(_ error: Any) {
print(error)
}
}
// Initialize custom Skyflow.Callback
let revealCallback = RevealCallback()
// Call reveal method on RevealContainer
container?.reveal(callback: revealCallback)
The response below shows that some tokens assigned to the reveal elements get revealed successfully, while others fail and remain unrevealed.
