Pinch 👌

This is a fork of react-native-pinch, the only difference is it decodes responses with NSIOSLatin1StringEncoding rather than NSUTF8Encoding as this was causing app crashes. PR sent to main repo.

Callback and promise based HTTP client that supports SSL pinning for React Native.

Installation

Using NPM:

npm install react-native-pinch

Using Yarn:

yarn add react-native-pinch

Automatically link

With React Native 0.27+

react-native link react-native-pinch

With older versions of React Native

You need rnpm (npm install -g rnpm)

rnpm link react-native-pinch

Manually link

iOS (via Cocoa Pods)

Add the following line to your build targets in your Podfile

pod 'RNPinch', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-pinch'

Then run pod install

Android

• in android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
+   compile project(':react-native-pinch')
}

• in android/settings.gradle:

...
include ':app'
+ include ':react-native-pinch'
+ project(':react-native-pinch').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-pinch/android')

With React Native 0.29+

• in MainApplication.java:

+ import com.localz.PinchPackage;

  public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    //......

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+         new PinchPackage(),
          new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }

    ......
  }

With older versions of React Native:

• in MainActivity.java:

+ import com.localz.PinchPackage;

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    ......

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+       new PinchPackage(),
        new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }
  }

Adding certificates

Before you can make requests using SSL pinning, you first need to add your .cer files to your project's assets.

Android

• Place your .cer files under src/main/assets/.

iOS

• Place your .cer files in your iOS Project. Don't forget to add them in your Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources, in Xcode.

Example

Examples are using the ES6 standard

Requests can be made by using the fetch(url[, config, [callback]]) method of Pinch.

Using Promises

import pinch from 'react-native-pinch';

pinch.fetch('https://my-api.com/v1/endpoint', {
  method: 'post',
  headers: { customHeader: 'customValue' },
  body: '{"firstName": "Jake", "lastName": "Moxey"}',
  sslPinning: {
    cert: 'my-cool-cert'
  }
})
  .then(res => console.log(`We got your response! Response - ${res}`))
  .catch(err => console.log(`Whoopsy doodle! Error - ${err}`))

Using Callbacks

import pinch from 'react-native-pinch';

pinch.fetch('https://my-api.com/v1/endpoint', {
  method: 'post',
  headers: { customHeader: 'customValue' },
  body: '{"firstName": "Jake", "lastName": "Moxey"}',
  timeoutInterval: 10000 // timeout after 10 seconds
  sslPinning: {
    cert: 'my-cool-cert'
  }
}, (err, res) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(`Whoopsy doodle! Error - ${err}`);
    return null;
  }
  console.log(`We got your response! Response - ${res}`);
})

Response Schema

{
  bodyString: '',

  headers: {},

  status: 200,

  statusText: 'OK'
}
