React Native AEP Places Extension

@adobe/react-native-aepplaces is a wrapper around the iOS and Android Adobe Experience Platform Places Extension to allow for integration with React Native applications. Functionality to enable Adobe Places is provided entirely through JavaScript documented below.

Peer Dependencies

The Adobe Experience Platform Optimize extension has the following peer dependency, which must be installed prior to installing the optimize extension:

• Core
• Edge

Installation

See Requirements and Installation instructions on the main page

Install the @adobe/react-native-aepplaces package:

NPM:

npm install @adobe/react-native-aepplaces

Yarn:

yarn add @adobe/react-native-aepplaces

Usage

Initializing and registering the extension

Initialization of the SDK should be done in native code, documentation on how to initialize the SDK can be found here.

Example:

iOS

@import AEPCore;
@import AEPLifecycle;
@import AEPEdge;
@import AEPPlaces;

@implementation AppDelegate
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  [AEPMobileCore setLogLevel: AEPLogLevelDebug];
  [AEPMobileCore configureWithAppId:@"yourAppID"];

  const UIApplicationState appState = application.applicationState;
  
  [AEPMobileCore registerExtensions:@[AEPEdge.class, AEPMobilePlaces.class] completion:^{
    if (appState != UIApplicationStateBackground) {
       [AEPMobileCore lifecycleStart:nil];
    }
  }];
  return YES;
}
@end

Android

import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Lifecycle;

import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.MobileCore;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Edge;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Places;

import android.app.Application;
...
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  ...
  @Override
  public void on Create(){
    super.onCreate();
    ...
    MobileCore.setApplication(this);
    MobileCore.setLogLevel(LoggingMode.DEBUG);
    MobileCore.configureWithAppID("your-app-ID");
    List<Class<? extends Extension>> extensions = Arrays.asList(
                Edge.EXTENSION,
                Places.EXTENSION);
    MobileCore.registerExtensions(extensions, o -> {
      MobileCore.lifecycleStart(null);
    });
  }
}

Importing the extension:

import {
  Places,
  PlacesAuthStatus,
  PlacesGeofence,
  PlacesGeofenceTransitionType,
  PlacesLocation,
  PlacesPOI,
} from "@adobe/react-native-aepplaces";

API reference

Getting the extension version:

Syntax

extensionVersion(): Promise<string>

Example

const version = await Places.extensionVersion();
console.log(`AdobeExperienceSDK: Places version: ${version}`);

Get the nearby points of interest:

Syntax

getNearbyPointsOfInterest(location, <limit>): Promise<Array<PlacesPOI>>

Example

let location = new PlacesLocation(<latitude>, <longitude>, <optional altitude>, <optional speed>, <optional accuracy>);

try {
  const pois = await Places.getNearbyPointsOfInterest(location, <limit>);
  console.log(`AdobeExperienceSDK: Places pois: ${pois}`)
} catch(error) {
  console.log(`AdobeExperienceSDK: Places error: ${error}`
}

Process geofence:

Syntax

processGeofence(geofence, <transitionType>): void

Example

// create a geofence
let geofence = new PlacesGeofence("geofence Identifier", <latitude>, <longitude>, <radius>, <optional expiration-duration>);
Places.processGeofence(geofence, PlacesGeofenceTransitionType.ENTER);
Places.processGeofence(geofence, PlacesGeofenceTransitionType.EXIT);

Get the current point of interests:

Syntax

getCurrentPointsOfInterest(): Promise<Array<PlacesPOI>>

Example

const pois = await Places.getCurrentPointsOfInterest();
console.log('AdobeExperienceSDK: Places pois: ' + pois);
);

Get the last known location

Syntax

getLastKnownLocation(): Promise<PlacesLocation>

Example

const location = await Places.getLastKnownLocation();
console.log('AdobeExperienceSDK: Places location: ' + location)
);

Clear

Syntax

clear(): void

Example

Places.clear();

Set Authorization status:

Syntax

setAuthorizationStatus(authStatus?: PlacesAuthStatus): void;

Example

Places.setAuthorizationStatus(PlacesAuthStatus.ALWAYS);
Places.setAuthorizationStatus(PlacesAuthStatus.DENIED);
Places.setAuthorizationStatus(PlacesAuthStatus.RESTRICTED);
Places.setAuthorizationStatus(PlacesAuthStatus.WHEN_IN_USE);
Places.setAuthorizationStatus(PlacesAuthStatus.UNKNOWN);
