---

npm

import "@smileid/web-components/smart-camera-web";

2. What’s Changed

1. Initialization

   • v1 event listener imagesComputed is removed.

   • v2 uses smart-camera-web.publish for events.

2. Event Payload

   • The event detail for smart-camera-web.publish is still the same as imagesComputed

---

3. Receiving Callbacks

Listen for the same smart-camera-web.publish event:

<smart-camera-web></smart-camera-web>
<script>
  const app = document.querySelector("smart-camera-web");

  app.addEventListener("smart-camera-web.publish", async (e) => {
    // e.detail partners your existing server payload
    console.log("Captured data:", e.detail);
    // send to your backend...
  });
</script>

4. New features

v2 is fully modular. You can compose your own flow—selfie only, ID document only, or any combination/order you prefer. See usage for more examples
