expo-react-native-adapter
A React Native adapter for Expo Universal Modules. It requires expo-core
to be installed and linked.
Note: The following installation/setup instructions are only applicable to plain React Native applications, i. e. if your project is a detached Expo project and it has ExpoKit/expoview included, the installation has already been done for you.
JavaScript installation
$ yarn add expo-react-native-adapter
# or
$ npm install expo-react-native-adapter --save
Installation
iOS (Cocoapods)
If you're using Cocoapods, add the dependency to your Podfile
:
pod 'EXReactNativeAdapter', path: '../node_modules/expo-react-native-adapter/ios', inhibit_warnings: true
and run pod install
.
Android
- Append the following lines to
android/settings.gradle
:include ':expo-react-native-adapter' project(':expo-react-native-adapter').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/expo-react-native-adapter/android')
- Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in
android/app/build.gradle
:compile project(':expo-react-native-adapter')
Additional required setup
iOS
Open the
AppDelegate.m
of your application.Import
<EXCore/EXModuleRegistry.h>
,<EXReactNativeAdapter/EXNativeModulesProxy.h>
and<EXReactNativeAdapter/EXModuleRegistryAdapter.h>
.Make
AppDelegate
implementRCTBridgeDelegate
protocol (@interface AppDelegate () <RCTBridgeDelegate>
).Add a new instance variable to your
AppDelegate
:@interface AppDelegate () <RCTBridgeDelegate> // add this line @property (nonatomic, strong) EXModuleRegistryAdapter *moduleRegistryAdapter; @end
In
-application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
add the following at the top of the implementation:self.moduleRegistryAdapter = [[EXModuleRegistryAdapter alloc] initWithModuleRegistryProvider:[[EXModuleRegistryProvider alloc] init]];
Add two methods to the
AppDelegate
's implementation:- (NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)extraModulesForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge { NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *extraModules = [_moduleRegistryAdapter extraModulesForBridge:bridge andExperience:nil]; // If you'd like to export some custom RCTBridgeModules that are not Expo modules, add them here! return extraModules; } - (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge { return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil]; }
When initializing
RCTBridge
, make theAppDelegate
a delegate of the bridge:RCTBridge *bridge = [[RCTBridge alloc] initWithDelegate:self launchOptions:launchOptions];
That's it! All in all, your
AppDelegate.m
should look similar to:#import "AppDelegate.h" #import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h> #import <React/RCTRootView.h> #import <EXCore/EXModuleRegistry.h> #import <EXReactNativeAdapter/EXNativeModulesProxy.h> #import <EXReactNativeAdapter/EXModuleRegistryAdapter.h> @interface AppDelegate () <RCTBridgeDelegate> @property (nonatomic, strong) EXModuleRegistryAdapter *moduleRegistryAdapter; @end @implementation AppDelegate - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { self.moduleRegistryAdapter = [[EXModuleRegistryAdapter alloc] initWithModuleRegistryProvider:[[EXModuleRegistryProvider alloc] init]]; RCTBridge *bridge = [[RCTBridge alloc] initWithDelegate:self launchOptions:launchOptions]; RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBridge:bridge moduleName:@"YOUR_MODULE_NAME" initialProperties:nil]; rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1]; self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds]; UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new]; rootViewController.view = rootView; self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; } - (NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)extraModulesForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge { NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *extraModules = [_moduleRegistryAdapter extraModulesForBridge:bridge andExperience:nil]; // If you'd like to export some custom RCTBridgeModules that are not Expo modules, add them here! return extraModules; } - (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge { return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil]; } @end
Android
- Open the
MainApplication.java
of your application. - Add to the imports:
import expo.adapters.react.ModuleRegistryAdapter; import expo.adapters.react.ReactAdapterPackage; import expo.adapters.react.ReactModuleRegistryProvider; import expo.core.interfaces.Package;
- Create an instance variable on the
Application
:private final ReactModuleRegistryProvider mModuleRegistryProvider = new ReactModuleRegistryProvider(Arrays.<Package>asList( new ReactAdapterPackage() // more packages, like // new CameraPackage(), if you use expo-camera // etc. ), /* singletonModules */ null);
- Add
new ModuleRegistryAdapter(mModuleRegistryProvider)
to the list returned byprotected List<ReactPackage> getPackages()
. - You're good to go!
Usage
Calling methods on native modules
Native modules are available behind the proxy (NativeModulesProxy
of expo-core
).
To call an exported method, use NativeModulesProxy[clientCodeName].exportedMethod(...arguments)
, like this:
// For EX_REGISTER_MODULE(FileSystem,) or EX_REGISTER_EXPORTED_MODULE(FileSystem)
// and EX_EXPORT_METHOD_AS(getInfo, getInfo:(NSString *)path)
// or for method
// @ExpoMethod
// public void getInfo(String path, Promise promise)
// defined in native module with name FileSystem
import { NativeModulesProxy } from 'expo-core';
const { FileSystem } = NativeModulesProxy;
FileSystem.getInfo('file:///...');
Note that all the methods return Promise
s.
Synthetic Platform Events
When creating web universal modules, you may find that you need to send events back to the API layer.
In this case you will want to use the shared SyntheticPlatformEmitter
instance from expo-core
. The shared emitter emit events to react-native
's NativeEventEmitter
and expo-core
's EventEmitter
.
ExponentGyroscope.web.ts
// Example from expo-sensors native web gyroscope sensor
import { SyntheticPlatformEmitter } from 'expo-core';
SyntheticPlatformEmitter.emit('gyroscopeDidUpdate', { x, y, z });
This emitted event is then received with a EventEmitter
in the developer-facing API.
import { EventEmitter } from 'expo-core';
import ExponentGyroscope from './ExponentGyroscope';
const nativeEmitter = new EventEmitter(ExponentGyroscope);
// On Android and iOS, `nativeEmitter` receives events sent from Objective-C and Java. On web, it
// receives events from the shared `SyntheticPlatformEmitter` instance.
nativeEmitter.addListener('gyroscopeDidUpdate', ({ x, y, z }) => {});
