react-add-to-homescreen

Bringing your PWA app to iOS. Evidently.

What is it?

react-add-to-homescreen allows you to inform the iOS users that your web app is installable on the iOS home screen. It mimics the behavior of Android's Add to home screen widget visible when the user visits your PWA.

Installation

$ yarn add react-add-to-homescreen

Demo

You can check out the demo Progressive Web App here. I am not the designer of this one though 😎

Usage

react-add-to-homescreen is designed to be as simple as possible. First import the component:

import AddToHomescreen from 'react-add-to-homescreen';

Then add the component to the main component of your app:

<AddToHomescreen onAddToHomescreenClick={this.handleAddToHomescreenClick} />

Finally, create a handler for the banner:

handleAddToHomescreenClick = () => {
  alert(`
    1. Open Share menu
    2. Tap on "Add to Home Screen" button`);
};

Options

All options are passed as props.

| Prop | Type | Description | | ------------------------ | -------- | -------------------------------- | | onAddToHomescreenClick | function | function to call on banner click | | title? | string | Custom title for banner | | icon? | string | Icon for banner |
