Access the unique device identifier of native mobile devices in your application using the Despia SDK from: https://www.npmjs.com/package/despia-native
First, install the package: npm install despia-native
Then import it: import despia from 'despia-native'
-
Import the Despia SDK in your component
-
Access the unique device identifier using
despia.uuid
-
Display the device ID in your UI
-
Send the device ID to your backend to link with user accounts
This feature requires native capabilities which will be fully provided by the “despia-native” npm package, no additional native libraries are needed!
Please follow the installation instructions for the "despia-native" npm package closely, and do not modify my instructions. Implementation as mentioned is critical.
How it works: The Despia SDK provides access to a unique device identifier through despia.uuid
. This persistent ID helps you track devices, prevent account sharing, and manage user sessions across your mobile application.
Installation
Install the Despia package from NPM:
npm install despia-native
Usage
1. Import the SDK
import despia from 'despia-native';
2. Get Device ID
Access the Device ID from the despia.uuid
variable:
// Simple example - show device ID and sync with user
const deviceId = despia.uuid;
// Display in UI
<p>Device: {deviceId}</p>
// Sync with backend when user logs in
fetch('/api/sync-device', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
userId: user.id,
deviceId: deviceId,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
})
});
Backend Integration
// /api/sync-device endpoint
export default async function handler(req, res) {
const { userId, deviceId, timestamp } = req.body;
try {
// Store the device-user association in your database
await db.collection('user_devices').doc(deviceId).set({
userId,
deviceId,
lastSeen: timestamp,
createdAt: timestamp
}, { merge: true });
res.status(200).json({ success: true });
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to sync device' });
}
}
