React Native IPFS boilerplate based off Textile

by React Native Example

react-native-boilerplate

A boilerplate app that shows creating, starting, and managing an IPFS peer using Textile's React Native SDK.

If you are looking for a more advanced example, see our Advanced Boilerplate that contains react-navigation, redux, and sagas together with Textile.

This app demonstrates the bare minimum steps to launch a Textile node to manage an IPFS peer in a mobile app. Those steps are roughly,

  1. Initialize an instance of the Textile class.
  2. Create and start a Textile node.
  3. Use the local Textile API to request data from the peer.
  4. Use events to tell the node about app state changes (background events)
