React Native : Carnival SDK

The Carnival SDK for React Native Apps.

React Native wrapper for the Carnival.io Android and iOS SDKs.

Installation

npm install react-native-carnival --save

iOS

Open your Project's Xcode Project.

Drag into "Libraries" the following files from node_modules/react-native-carnival:

  • RNCarnival.h
  • RNCarnival.m (Make sure this file's Target Membership is your main app's target)

Next, Install Carnival iOS SDK from Cocoapods (add pod 'Carnival' to your Podfile) or install the framework manually (Carnival.framework can be obtained from node_modules/react-native-carnival).

You will then need replace the code that creates your RCTRootView with the code below. This adds the Carnival React Native modules to the root view.

#import "RNCarnivalBridge.h"

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication * )application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary * )launchOptions {
      ...
      id<RCTBridgeDelegate> moduleInitialiser = [[RNCarnivalBridge alloc]
                                                 initWithJSCodeLocation:jsCodeLocation   // JS Code location used here should be same location used before
                                                 appKey:SDK_KEY                          // Obtain SDK key from your Carnival app settings
                                                 registerForPushNotifications:YES        // Whether the SDK should handle push notification registration
                                                 displayInAppNotifications:YES];         // Whether the SDK should display in app notifications automatically

      RCTBridge * bridge = [[RCTBridge alloc] initWithDelegate:moduleInitialiser launchOptions:launchOptions];

      RCTRootView * rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc]
                                initWithBridge:bridge
                                moduleName:@"YOUR_MODULE_NAME"
                                initialProperties:nil];
      ...
}

Build and Run from Xcode.

Android

  • In android/settings.gradle
...
include ':react-native-carnival'
project(':react-native-carnival').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-carnival/android')
  • In android/app/build.gradle
...
repositories {
    google()

    maven {
        url "https://github.com/carnivalmobile/maven-repository/raw/master/"
    }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-carnival')
    compile 'com.carnival.sdk:carnival:6.+'
}
  • Register module (in MainApplication.java)
import com.reactlibrary.RNCarnivalPackage; // <--- import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  ...

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new RNCarnivalPackage(getApplicationContext(), // Should pass in application context
                                SDK_KEY,                 // Obtain SDK key from your Carnival app settings
                                true)                    // Whether SDK should display in app notifications automatically
      );
    }
  ...

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
      super.onCreate();
      SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
    }
  ...
}

}

Finally, make sure your compileSdkVersion is set to 26 or higher and buildToolsVersion is "26.0.2" or higher

Note: You may see an error about missing bundle on Android if you dont have the server running first. You an start the server by running react-native start and relaunch from Android Studio.

For push set up, follow the usual Android Integration documentation.

Example

We have provided an example JS file for both iOS and Android. Examples of the promises-based wrapper can be found there.
