🎯 Implementation Checklist

✅ Gateway Endpoint Call

File: app/Libraries/Abdm/EAtriaBridgeConnector.php (Lines 740-764)

Endpoint: GET /api/v3/abha/card

Implementation:

$cardResult = $this->get(
    '/v3/abha/card',
    array_filter([
        'abha_number' => $abhaNumber,
        'abha_address' => $abhaAddress,
    ], static fn($value): bool => trim((string) $value) !== ''),
    $patientToken !== '' ? ['X-Token' => 'Bearer ' . $patientToken] : []
);

Parameters Sent:

• abha_number: ABHA ID (e.g., "91-5101-6530-5101")
• abha_address: ABHA Address (e.g., "singhdevender0328@sbx")
• X-Token Header: Patient authentication token (when available)

Response Handling (Lines 751-762):

if (! empty($cardResult['ok']) && (int) $cardResult['ok'] === 1) {
    $cardData = is_array($cardResult['data'] ?? null) 
        ? $cardResult['data'] 
        : $cardResult;
    
    // Extract card from any field name
    $card = $this->extractOfficialCard($cardResult) 
        ?: $this->extractOfficialCard($cardData);
    
    if ($card !== '') {
        $result['card_base64'] = $card;
        $result['card_content_type'] = $this->resolveCardContentType($cardData);
        $result['card_source'] = $this->extractCardSource($cardResult);
    }
}

🖼️ Card Display Views

1. HTML Card View

Route: GET abha/card/{abha_number} File: app/Controllers/Abha.php (Lines 509-600) Returns: HTML page for display/printing

public function card(string $abhaNumber = '')
{
    // Validate ABHA format
    $abhaNumClean = preg_replace('/\D/', '', $abhaNumber);
    
    if (strlen($abhaNumClean) !== 14) {
        return $this->response->setStatusCode(400)
            ->setBody('<h3>Invalid ABHA number.</h3>');
    }
    
    // Look up patient in HMS database
    $patient = $db->table('patient_master')
        ->where($abhaField, $abhaNumClean)->get()->getRowArray();
    
    if (! $patient) {
        return $this->response->setStatusCode(404)
            ->setBody('<h3>Patient not found.</h3>');
    }
    
    // Render card view with patient data
    return view('abha/card', [
        'patient' => $patient,
        'abha_num' => $abhaDisp,
        'stored_abha_card' => trim($patient['abha_card_base64'] ?? ''),
        // ... more data
    ]);
}

2. Modal Download Links

    // Convert to data URL if not already
    var cardSrc = String(card).indexOf('data:') === 0

document.getElementById('abhaCard').src = dataUrl;

// Or create download link
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = dataUrl;
link.download = 'ABHA-card.png';
link.click();

🔐 Authentication Flow

When Patient X-Token is Available

// Step 1: Verify OTP → Get X-Token
$verifyResult = $this->post('/v3/abha/login/verify-otp', $body);
// Returns: X-Token header, official ABHA card

// Step 2: Call card endpoint with X-Token
$cardResult = $this->get(
    '/v3/abha/card',
    ['abha_number' => $abhaNum, 'abha_address' => $abhaAddress],
    ['X-Token' => 'Bearer ' . $patientToken]  // ← Authenticated request
);
// Returns: Official ABHA card (guaranteed)

When Only Hospital API Key Available

// Card endpoint called with hospital API key only
$cardResult = $this->get(
    '/v3/abha/card',
    ['abha_number' => $abhaNum, 'abha_address' => $abhaAddress]
    // No X-Token header
);
// Returns: Bridge-generated card (provisional)

---

📋 When Card is Downloaded

Scenario 1: Card Already in Verify Response

• User verifies ABHA via OTP
• Bridge returns card in verify-otp response
• Card immediately displayed in modal
• No additional call to /v3/abha/card needed

Scenario 2: Card Needs Explicit Fetch

if ($card === '' && ($abhaNumber !== '' || $abhaAddress !== '')) {
    // Card was not in verify response
    // Call /v3/abha/card to fetch it
    $cardResult = $this->get('/v3/abha/card', $params, $headers);
    $card = $this->extractOfficialCard($cardResult);
}

This ensures:

• ✅ Card is always available (from verify or explicit fetch)
• ✅ Automatic fallback if verify doesn't include card
• ✅ No duplicate requests

💾 Card Storage

In Patient Master Table

Column: abha_card_base64 Added by: Migration 2026-08-13-000001_AddAbhaCardToPatientMaster.php Purpose: Store official ABHA card for quick display

Usage:

// When displaying patient's existing card
$cardBase64 = $patient['abha_card_base64'] ?? '';
if ($cardBase64) {
    // Use stored card
    return view('abha/card', ['stored_abha_card' => $cardBase64]);
}

🚀 User Flows

Flow 1: Download Card During ABHA Creation

1. User clicks "Create ABHA"
2. Selects Aadhaar OTP verification
3. Enters Aadhaar + OTP
4. Bridge returns ABHA profile + card
5. Modal shows:
   ├─ Profile photo
   ├─ Official ABHA card (from response)
   └─ "Download ABHA Card" button (enabled)
6. User clicks download → Browser saves PNG

Flow 2: View Patient's ABHA Card

1. User navigates to Patient Profile
2. Clicks "View/Print ABHA Card" link
3. Opens: GET abha/card/91-5101-6530-5101
4. Card view renders with:
   ├─ Official ABHA card image
   ├─ Patient HMS ID
   ├─ QR code
   └─ Print-ready layout
5. User prints or saves as PDF

Flow 3: Explicit Card Download (Without Verification)

1. Use API: GET /abha/card/{abha_number}
2. Bridge connector calls: GET /v3/abha/card
3. Extracts official card from response
4. Returns card_base64 in JSON
5. Frontend displays/downloads card
