How do I use Cybrid's Plaid UI SDK?

This article explains how to use the Cybrid SDK to drive the Plaid Bank Account connection experience.

General high-level steps:

• Npm install our web library
• Include our javascript module(s) in your html file
• Add authentication and configuration
  • Authentication token must be a customer token
  • Include the appropriate customer guid, and make sure they have a fiat account created

• Reference Cybrid component bank-account-connect to instantiate the Plaid flow
• Implement event handling and error detection
  • You may want to listen to the following events
    • Any component errors (See GitHub repo)
    • PLAID_SDK_EXIT, which is returned when the Plaid SDK exits
    • Note: Plaid SDK errors will be returned as a DATA_ERROR code, with the Plaid error in the 'data' property

Tips & Best Practices

• If the SDK will be used in a mobile browser (as opposed to only on desktop) you must register a Plaid Redirect URI with Cybrid. This ensures that non-popup Plaid SDK flows will return to the proper location in the mobile web experience.
