Link SDK React Native Wrapper

The React Native Wrapper for LinkSDK allows you to do all the functions that can be achieved with the LinkSDK on web, from linking bank accounts to initiating payments.

Installation

Install lean-react-native

npm install --save lean-react-native

If you don't already have react-native-webview added to your project you should also install this

npm install --save react-native-webview

Go to your ios folder and run

pod install

Usage

The Wrapper uses a ref to access internal functions.

import React, { useRef } from 'react'
import { View, TouchableOpacity, Text } from 'react-native'
import LinkSDK from 'lean-react-native'

const App = () => {
    const Lean = useRef(null)

    return (
        <View>
            <TouchableOpacity 
                onPress={() => Lean.current.link({ customer_id: "CUSTOMER_ID" })}
            >
                <Text>Link Account</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>

            <LinkSDK
                ref={Lean}
                appToken="MY_APP_TOKEN"
                version="{version_number}"
                country="{country_of_operation}"
                sandbox
            />
        </View>
    )
}

export default App

Troubleshooting

Webview crashes on Android

You can disable hardware acceleration on the webview by passing android specific props into the webview:

<LinkSDK
    webViewProps={{
        androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled: true,
    }}
    appToken: "YOUR_APP_TOKEN"
    sandbox: false
>

JDK version issues on Android

You may get gradle errors if you have a different JDK on the development system compared to the local JDK delivered with the Android SDK. The solution is to set JAVA_HOME in gradlew or gradlew.bat to point to the SDK JDK path. On Windows:

SET JAVA_HOME="\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre"
