A Facebook Account Kit SDK wrapper for React Native

by React Native Example

react-native-facebook-account-kit

A Facebook Account Kit SDK wrapper for react-native.

We will support the latest version of React Native on each release. For older RN versions you may use an older version of this module compatible with that RN version.

Installation

npm install --save react-native-facebook-account-kit

Linking

Semi-automatic (suggested)

react-native link react-native-facebook-account-kit
Android
  • Done!
iOS (via Cocoapods)

  1. Undo changes in iOS folder (which were made by react-native-link) in order to avoid duplicate compilations

    git checkout ios

  2. Add RNAccountKit Pod to your Podfile (if you don't have a podfile follow these instructions)

    target 'MyApp' do
  ...
+  pod 'RNAccountKit', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-facebook-account-kit/ios'
  ...
end

  3. Run pod install in your ios folder

iOS (without Cocoapods)

  1. Open your project with XCode

  2. Open with Finder the node_modules/react-native-facebook-account-kit/ios folder

  3. Drag and drop AccountKit.framework and AccountKitStrings.bundle from Finder to your project in XCode (IMPORTANT: select the "Copy items if needed" option)

Manual

Android
  1. In android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
  ...
  <string name="fb_app_id">YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID</string>
  <string name="ak_client_token">YOUR_CLIENT_TOKEN</string>
  1. In android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
  ...
  <application>

      ...
      <meta-data
          android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"
          android:value="@string/fb_app_id" />
      <meta-data
          android:name="com.facebook.accountkit.ApplicationName"
          android:value="@string/app_name" />
      <meta-data
          android:name="com.facebook.accountkit.ClientToken"
          android:value="@string/ak_client_token" />
   </application>
   ...
  1. Check the RNAccountKitPackage is registered in your MainApplication.java file. This should be done by react-native link but sometimes it doesn't. You should see something like the following
  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new RNAccountKitPackage() // <-- the package is registered
      );
  }

This is the minimal required configuration. Take a look to the Account Kit documentation for Android for a more detailed guide.

(Optional) Exclude backup for Access Tokens on Android >= 6.0

As per this documentation, Account Kit does not support automated backup (introduced in Android 6.0). The following steps will exclude automated backup

  1. Create a file android/app/src/main/res/xml/backup_config.xml that contains the follwoing:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <full-backup-content>
    <exclude domain="sharedpref" path="com.facebook.accountkit.AccessTokenManager.SharedPreferences.xml"/>
  </full-backup-content>
  1. In your AndroidManifest.xml add the following to exclude backup of Account Kit's Access Token.
  <application
    //other configurations here
    android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_config" // add this line
   >

Themes

iOS 
import RNAccountKit, {
  Color,
  StatusBarStyle,
} from 'react-native-facebook-account-kit'

RNAccountKit.configure({
  ...,
  theme: {
    // Background
    backgroundColor: Color.rgba(0, 120, 0, 0.1),
    backgroundImage: 'background.png',
    // Button
    buttonBackgroundColor: Color.rgba(0, 153, 0, 1.0),
    buttonBorderColor: Color.rgba(0, 255, 0, 1),
    buttonTextColor: Color.rgba(0, 255, 0, 1),
    // Button disabled
    buttonDisabledBackgroundColor: Color.rgba(100, 153, 0, 0.5),
    buttonDisabledBorderColor: Color.rgba(100, 153, 0, 0.5),
    buttonDisabledTextColor: Color.rgba(100, 153, 0, 0.5),
    // Header
    headerBackgroundColor: Color.rgba(0, 153, 0, 1.0),
    headerButtonTextColor: Color.rgba(0, 153, 0, 0.5),
    headerTextColor: Color.rgba(0, 255, 0, 1),
    // Input
    inputBackgroundColor: Color.rgba(0, 255, 0, 1),
    inputBorderColor: Color.hex('#ccc'),
    inputTextColor: Color.hex('#0f0'),
    // Others
    iconColor: Color.rgba(0, 255, 0, 1),
    textColor: Color.hex('#0f0'),
    titleColor: Color.hex('#0f0'),
    // Header
    statusBarStyle: StatusBarStyle.LightContent, // or StatusBarStyle.Default
  }
})

To see the statusBarStyle reflected you must set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance property to true on your app's Info.plist file.
You can do it from XCode

Android

Check this commit to see how it's done in our sample app

  1. In your application styles.xml file (usually located in android/app/src/main/res/values folder) create a Theme with the following schema
<style name="LoginThemeYellow" parent="Theme.AccountKit">
    <item name="com_accountkit_primary_color">#f4bf56</item>
    <item name="com_accountkit_primary_text_color">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="com_accountkit_secondary_text_color">#44566b</item>
    <item name="com_accountkit_status_bar_color">#ed9d00</item>

    <item name="com_accountkit_input_accent_color">?attr/com_accountkit_primary_color</item>
    <item name="com_accountkit_input_border_color">?attr/com_accountkit_primary_color</item>
</style>

See the full set of customizable fields here

  1. In your app AndroidManifest.xml file (usually under android/app/src/main folder) set that Theme to the AccountKitActivity
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" <-- Add this line
    ...>

    <!-- Set the AccountKitActivity theme -->
    <activity
      tools:replace="android:theme"
      android:name="com.facebook.accountkit.ui.AccountKitActivity"
      android:theme="@style/LoginThemeYellow" />

</manifest>

Usage

If you have issues with the method signatures you may be using an older version. Check the Releases Notes for breaking changes

import RNAccountKit from 'react-native-facebook-account-kit'

// Shows the Facebook Account Kit view for login via SMS
RNAccountKit.loginWithPhone()
  .then((token) => {
    if (!token) {
      console.log('Login cancelled')
    } else {
      console.log(`Logged with phone. Token: ${token}`)
    }
  })

// Shows the Facebook Account Kit view for login via email
RNAccountKit.loginWithEmail()
  .then((token) => {
    if (!token) {
      console.log('Login cancelled')
    } else {
      console.log(`Logged with email. Token: ${token}`)
    }
  })

// Logouts the user, so getCurrentAccessToken() will retrieve null
RNAccountKit.logout()
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Logged out')
  })

// Retrieves the logged user access token, if any user is logged
RNAccountKit.getCurrentAccessToken()
  .then((token) => {
    console.log(`Current access token: ${token}`)
  })

// Retrieves the logged user account info, if any user is logged
RNAccountKit.getCurrentAccount()
  .then((account) => {
    console.log(`Current account: ${account}`)
  })

// Configures the SDK with some options
RNAccountKit.configure({
  responseType: 'token'|'code' // 'token' by default,
  titleType: 'login',
  initialAuthState: '',
  initialEmail: 'some.initial@email.com',
  initialPhoneCountryPrefix: '+1',
  initialPhoneNumber: '123-456-7890',
  facebookNotificationsEnabled: true|false, // true by default
  readPhoneStateEnabled: true|false, // true by default,
  receiveSMS: true|false, // true by default,
  countryWhitelist: ['AR'], // [] by default
  countryBlacklist: ['US'], // [] by default
  defaultCountry: 'AR',
  theme: {...} // for iOS only, see the Theme section
})

Examples

Try the examples.
They are related to different React Native versions.

git clone https://github.com/underscopeio/react-native-facebook-account-kit
cd react-native-facebook-account-kit/examples/RN033 # or /RN024
npm install
react-native run-ios # or react-native run-android

Troubleshooting

I have problems running the example

If you have trouble running any example try the following:

  1. Move the example out of the repo

  2. Remove this package local dependency from package.json

    -    "react-native-facebook-account-kit": "file:../.."

  3. Run npm install --save react-native-facebook-account-kit

  4. Re-run react-native run-android or react-native run-ios

"A system issue occured, Please try again" when sending SMS

A. Check your FacebookAppID and AccountKitClientToken on iOS Info.plist and Android strings.xml are correct

B. If you have enabled the client access token flow in fb account kit dashboard, then responseType should be set to code when calling configure

// Configures the SDK with some options
RNAccountKit.configure({
    responseType: 'code'
    ...
})
