Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

react-native-background-geolocation-firebase · npm npm


Firebase Proxy for React Native Background Geolocation. The plugin will automatically post locations to your own Firebase database, overriding the react-native-background-geolocation plugin's SQLite / HTTP services.


The Android module requires purchasing a license. However, it will work for DEBUG builds. It will not work with RELEASE builds without purchasing a license.


:large_blue_diamond: Installing the Plugin


:warning: If you have a previous version of react-native-background-geolocation-firebase < 0.3.0 installed into react-native >= 0.60, you should first unlink your previous version as react-native link is no longer required.

$ react-native unlink react-native-background-geolocation-firebase

From yarn

$ yarn add react-native-background-geolocation-firebase

From npm

$ npm install react-native-background-geolocation-firebase --save

Latest from Github

$ npm install git+https://[email protected]:transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation-firebase.git --save

:large_blue_diamond: Configure your license

  1. Login to Customer Dashboard to generate an application key: www.transistorsoft.com/shop/customers

  2. Add your license-key to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.transistorsoft.backgroundgeolocation.react">

  <application
    android:name=".MainApplication"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

    <!-- react-native-background-geolocation-firebase licence -->
+     <meta-data android:name="com.transistorsoft.firebaseproxy.license" android:value="YOUR_LICENCE_KEY_HERE" />
    .
    .
    .
  </application>
</manifest>

:large_blue_diamond: Using the plugin

import BackgroundGeolocationFirebase from "react-native-background-geolocation-firebase";

:large_blue_diamond: Example


import BackgroundGeolocation from "react-native-background-geolocation";
import BackgroundGeolocationFirebase from "react-native-background-geolocation-firebase";
.
.
.
function App(): React.JSX.Element {
  
  React.useEffect(() => {
    // Configure BackgroundGeolocation Firebase adapter.
    BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
      locationsCollection: "locations",
      geofencesCollection: "geofences"
    });

    // Configure BackgroundGeolocation
    const onLocation = BackgroundGeolocation.onLocation((location) => {
      console.log('[onLocation] ', location);
    });

    BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
      debug: true,
      logLevel: BackgroundGeolocation.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE
    }).then((state) => {
      console.log('- ready: ', state.enablede);
      if (!state.enabled) {
        BackgroundGeolocation.start();
      }
    })
    return () => {
      // Remove event-listeners.
      onLocation.remove();
    }
  });
}

:large_blue_diamond: Firebase Functions

BackgroundGeolocation will post its default "Location Data Schema" to your Firebase app.

{
  "location":{},
  "param1": "param 1",
  "param2": "param 2"
}

You should implement your own Firebase Functions to "massage" the incoming data in your collection as desired. For example:

import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';

exports.createLocation = functions.firestore
  .document('locations/{locationId}')
  .onCreate((snap, context) => {
    const record = snap.data();

    const location = record.location;

    console.log('[data] - ', record);

    return snap.ref.set({
      uuid: location.uuid,
      timestamp: location.timestamp,
      is_moving: location.is_moving,
      latitude: location.coords.latitude,
      longitude: location.coords.longitude,
      speed: location.coords.speed,
      heading: location.coords.heading,
      altitude: location.coords.altitude,
      event: location.event,
      battery_is_charging: location.battery.is_charging,
      battery_level: location.battery.level,
      activity_type: location.activity.type,
      activity_confidence: location.activity.confidence,
      extras: location.extras
    });
});


exports.createGeofence = functions.firestore
  .document('geofences/{geofenceId}')
  .onCreate((snap, context) => {
    const record = snap.data();

    const location = record.location;

    console.log('[data] - ', record);

    return snap.ref.set({
      uuid: location.uuid,
      identifier: location.geofence.identifier,
      action: location.geofence.action,
      timestamp: location.timestamp,
      latitude: location.coords.latitude,
      longitude: location.coords.longitude,
      extras: location.extras,
    });
});

:large_blue_diamond: Configuration Options

@param {String} locationsCollection [locations]

The collection name to post location events to. Eg:

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  locationsCollection: '/locations'
});

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  locationsCollection: '/users/123/locations'
});

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  locationsCollection: '/users/123/routes/456/locations'
});

@param {String} geofencesCollection [geofences]

The collection name to post geofence events to. Eg:

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  geofencesCollection: '/geofences'
});

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  geofencesCollection: '/users/123/geofences'
});

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  geofencesCollection: '/users/123/routes/456/geofences'
});

@param {Boolean} updateSingleDocument [false]

If you prefer, you can instruct the plugin to update a single document in Firebase rather than creating a new document for each location / geofence. In this case, you would presumably implement a Firebase Function to deal with updates upon this single document and store the location in some other collection as desired. If this is your use-case, you'll also need to ensure you configure your locationsCollection / geofencesCollection accordingly with an even number of "parts", taking the form /collection_name/document_id, eg:

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  locationsCollection: '/locations/latest'  // <-- 2 "parts":  even
});

// or
BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  locationsCollection: '/users/123/routes/456/the_location'  // <-- 4 "parts":  even
});

// Don't use an odd number of "parts"
BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
  locationsCollection: '/users/123/latest_location'  // <-- 3 "parts": odd!!  No!
});
