NHPR SDK - Implementation

This guide provides everything you need to integrate the NHPR SDK (M4) into your application.

Overview

The NHPR SDK (M4) is a plug-and-play UI widget that enables your application to onboard doctors onto ABDM’s Health Professional Registry (HPR) and register their clinic as a Healthcare Facility Registry (HFR) entry — all from within your existing web application. It provides:

Aadhaar-based identity verification: Doctor’s identity is verified using ABDM’s Aadhaar OTP flow.
HPR ID creation: Doctor selects a unique HPR ID, practice type, email, and password.
HFR facility registration: Clinic is registered or linked as an ABDM healthcare facility.
Onboarding callbacks: Your application receives the resulting HPR ID and HFR Facility ID on success.

Installation

Prerequisites

A modern web browser.
Your domain must be whitelisted with Eka Care to avoid CORS errors. (Contact Eka Care to request API access and domain whitelisting.)
A valid HTML container element where the SDK will mount.
A short-lived Bearer access token generated from your backend using the Connect Login API.

Setup

Add the following to your webpage:

For staging/dev environments, replace the SDK URLs with:

JS: https://unpkg.com/@eka-care/abdm-dashboard-stg/dist/sdk/abdm/js/abdm.js
CSS: https://unpkg.com/@eka-care/abdm-dashboard-stg/dist/sdk/abdm/css/abdm.css

Core Functions

1. mountABDMDashboard

Initializes and renders the NHPR SDK in your specified container. Parameters:

Name	Type	Required	Description
`elementId`	`string`	✅	The HTML element ID where the SDK will mount. If the element does not exist, a `<div>` with this ID is created and appended to `document.body`.
`accessToken`	`string`	✅	Short-lived Bearer token for authenticating API calls to Eka’s backend. Generate a fresh token from your backend on each widget load. Do not include the `Bearer` prefix.
`clientId`	`string`	⚙️ Optional	Client identifier for your application. Pass `"ext"` for web integrations. Defaults to `"ext"`.
`hideEkaSidePanel`	`boolean`	⚙️ Optional	Hide the decorative illustration panel shown on larger screens. Defaults to `false`. Set to `true` when embedding in a narrow modal or a mobile WebView.
`showDashboardOnSuccess`	`boolean`	⚙️ Optional	If `true`, navigates to the ABDM dashboard after HFR registration is complete. If `false`, the widget unmounts itself after firing `onAbdmOnboardSuccess`. Defaults to `true`.
`onAbdmMountSuccess`	`(params: TOnAbdmMountSuccess) => void`	⚙️ Optional	Fired immediately after the widget mounts successfully.
`onAbdmOnboardSuccess`	`(params: TOnAbdmOnboardSuccess) => void`	✅	Fired when HPR and HFR registration both complete. Contains the new HPR ID and HFR Facility ID.
`onAbdmDashboardClose`	`(params: TOnAbdmDashboardClose) => void`	✅	Fired when the user closes the widget via the back button or when `unmountABDMDashboard` is called.
`onAbdmDashboardError`	`(params: TOnAbdmDashboardError) => void`	✅	Fired if the widget fails to mount or encounters a fatal error.

2. unmountABDMDashboard

Programmatically unmounts the widget and cleans up the React root.

window.abdmDashboardUnmount("abdm-dashboard-root");

Returns true if the widget was found and unmounted, false if no mounted widget was found at the given element ID.

Callback Parameters

onAbdmMountSuccess Callback

Fired immediately after the widget mounts and renders successfully into the container. Callback Signature:

onAbdmMountSuccess: (params: TOnAbdmMountSuccess) => void;

Type Definition:

type TOnAbdmMountSuccess = {
  clientId?: string;
};

Parameters:

Key	Type	Description
`clientId`	`string?`	The `clientId` passed to `mountABDMDashboard`.

Example:

const onAbdmMountSuccess = (params) => {
  console.log("NHPR SDK mounted:", params);
  // params.clientId → "ext"

  // Show the container now that the widget is ready
  document.getElementById("abdm-dashboard-root").style.display = "block";
};

onAbdmOnboardSuccess Callback

Fired when the full HPR + HFR onboarding flow completes successfully. This is the primary callback — use it to persist the HPR ID and HFR Facility ID to your backend. Callback Signature:

onAbdmOnboardSuccess: (params: TOnAbdmOnboardSuccess) => void;

Type Definition:

type TOnAbdmOnboardSuccess = {
  clientId?: string;
  facilityId?: string;
  createdHprId?: string;
};

Parameters:

Key	Type	Description
`clientId`	`string?`	The `clientId` passed to `mountABDMDashboard`.
`facilityId`	`string?`	The HFR Facility ID assigned by ABDM to the registered clinic. Store this against the clinic in your backend.
`createdHprId`	`string?`	The doctor’s new HPR ID in the format `username@hpr.abdm`. Store this against the doctor in your backend.

Example:

const onAbdmOnboardSuccess = (params) => {
  console.log("Onboarding complete:", params);

  const { facilityId, createdHprId } = params;

  // Persist to your backend
  fetch("/api/abdm/save-registration", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ facilityId, createdHprId }),
  });

  // Unmount and hide the widget
  window.abdmDashboardUnmount("abdm-dashboard-root");

  // Optionally pass to native bridge if running in a WebView
  if (window.EkaAbdm) {
    window.EkaAbdm.onAbdmOnboardSuccess(JSON.stringify(params));
  }
};

onAbdmDashboardClose Callback

Fired when the user explicitly closes the widget (by clicking the back/close button) or when unmountABDMDashboard is called programmatically. Callback Signature:

onAbdmDashboardClose: (params: TOnAbdmDashboardClose) => void;

Type Definition:

type TOnAbdmDashboardClose = {
  clientId: string;
};

Parameters:

Key	Type	Description
`clientId`	`string`	The `clientId` passed to `mountABDMDashboard`. Falls back to `"default-client"` if not provided.

Example:

const onAbdmDashboardClose = (params) => {
  console.log("NHPR SDK closed:", params);

  // Hide or remove the container from the UI
  const container = document.getElementById("abdm-dashboard-root");
  if (container) container.style.display = "none";

  // Optionally pass to native bridge if running in a WebView
  if (window.EkaAbdm) {
    window.EkaAbdm.onAbdmClose(JSON.stringify(params));
  }
};

onAbdmDashboardError Callback

Fired if the widget fails to mount or encounters a fatal error during initialisation. Callback Signature:

onAbdmDashboardError: (params: TOnAbdmDashboardError) => void;

Type Definition:

type TOnAbdmDashboardError = {
  clientId?: string;
};

Parameters:

Key	Type	Description
`clientId`	`string?`	The `clientId` passed to `mountABDMDashboard`

Example:

const onAbdmDashboardError = (params) => {
  console.error("NHPR SDK error:", params);

  alert("Something went wrong while loading the onboarding widget. Please try again.");

  // Forward to native bridge if running in a WebView
  if (window.EkaAbdm) {
    window.EkaAbdm.onAbdmError(JSON.stringify(params));
  }
};

Suggested handling:

Always log the full params for debugging.
Display a user-friendly retry prompt — the most common causes are an expired accessToken or a network failure.
Generate a fresh accessToken from your backend before retrying mountABDMDashboard.

Onboarding Flow (M4)

The widget is a linear multi-step flow. Each step is a full-screen state — the user cannot jump ahead.

Screen reference

Step	Screen	What happens
1	Create	Doctor enters their 12-digit Aadhaar number. An OTP is dispatched to the Aadhaar-linked mobile on submit.
2	Verify OTP	Doctor enters the OTP received on their Aadhaar-linked mobile number to complete identity verification.
3	Setup HPR	Doctor sets a unique HPR ID (ABDM-suggested IDs are shown as chips), practice type, email, password, and pincode. Real-time availability check runs on HPR ID input.
4	HPR Successful	Confirmation that the HPR ID has been created. The flow auto-advances to clinic verification.
5	Verify Clinic	Doctor selects a suggested ABDM facility or registers a new clinic with type, sub-type, medicine type, and facility details.
6	HFR Successful	HFR registration is confirmed. `onAbdmOnboardSuccess` fires with `createdHprId` and `facilityId`.

Practice types

Code	Name
1	Modern Medicine
2	Dentist
3	Ayurveda
4	Unani
5	Siddha
6	Homeopathy
89	Sowa-Rigpa

HPR password requirements

The widget validates the password live as the doctor types. All rules must pass before the form can be submitted:

At least 8 characters
At least one uppercase letter
At least one lowercase letter
At least one number
At least one special character

OTP Auto-Read (Mobile WebView)

If your application embeds the widget in a mobile WebView that supports OTP interception, forward the OTP to the widget:

// Call this from your Android/iOS bridge when an OTP SMS is intercepted
window.onOtpAutoRead({ success: true, otp: "123456" });

The widget pre-fills the OTP input automatically and does not require the doctor to type it.

Container Styling

Ensure your container has sufficient height for the widget to render correctly:

<div
  id="abdm-dashboard-root"
  style="width: 100%; height: 600px; border: 1px solid #ddd;"
></div>

For full-screen modal use cases, set the container to 100vw / 100vh and pass hideEkaSidePanel: true to disable the side illustration panel on smaller viewports.

API Reference

The widget communicates with Eka’s backend. All requests include your accessToken as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Method	Endpoint	Purpose
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hpr/aadhaar/otp`	Initiate Aadhaar OTP for HPR identity verification
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hpr/aadhaar/verify`	Verify the Aadhaar OTP
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hpr/mobile/verify`	Verify the mobile OTP
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hpr/id/available`	Check if a chosen HPR ID is available
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hpr/create`	Create the HPR entry with ID and credentials
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hfr/create`	Register the clinic as a new HFR facility
`POST`	`/abdm/v1/hfr/link`	Link the clinic to an existing HFR facility

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. SDK Not Rendering

Problem: Nothing appears in the container. Solution:

Ensure elementId matches an existing HTML element ID.
Verify the SDK JS and CSS files are loaded before calling mountABDMDashboard.
Check the browser console for errors.

2. APIs Not Being Called

Problem: API requests are not triggered after the SDK is mounted. Solution:

Ensure accessToken is passed correctly and has not expired — generate a fresh token from your backend on each mount.
Ensure your domain is whitelisted with Eka Care to prevent CORS errors.

3. Callbacks Not Firing

Problem: onAbdmOnboardSuccess, onAbdmDashboardClose, or onAbdmDashboardError are not being called. Solution:

Confirm callbacks are passed as valid functions, not strings or undefined.
Avoid calling unmountABDMDashboard before the SDK has finished its flow — this will silently stop all further callbacks.

4. Styling Issues

Problem: SDK content appears misaligned or clipped. Solution:

Give your container a fixed height (e.g., 600px) or 100vh for full-screen.
Ensure no parent element applies overflow: hidden that would clip the widget.
Pass hideEkaSidePanel: true on narrow viewports (under 768 px).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HPR ID and why does the doctor need one?

An HPR (Health Professional Registry) ID is a unique digital identity for healthcare professionals in India’s ABDM ecosystem. It is required for a doctor to participate in ABDM-enabled workflows such as linking patient health records and issuing digital prescriptions.

What is HFR and do I need it?

HFR (Healthcare Facility Registry) registers a clinic or hospital within ABDM. It is required for the clinic to act as a Health Information Provider (HIP) and exchange records through the ABDM network. The NHPR SDK handles both HPR and HFR registration in a single flow.

What should I do with the HPR ID and Facility ID returned in onAbdmOnboardSuccess?

Store both in your backend against the respective doctor and clinic records. The facilityId is the HFR ID assigned by ABDM to the clinic. The createdHprId is the doctor’s new HPR ID in the format username@hpr.abdm. You will need these IDs for subsequent ABDM API calls.

How do I handle the widget in a mobile app WebView?

What happens if the doctor already has an HPR ID?

The current M4 flow creates a new HPR ID via Aadhaar-based identity verification. If the doctor already has an HPR ID registered with ABDM, contact Eka support to enable the existing-HPR linking flow for your integration.
