Integrating React Native Plugin
How to integrate Pushwoosh SDK into your React Native project
1. Install plugin
shell
npm install pushwoosh-react-native-plugin --save
1.1. For iOS, additionally install dependencies:
shell
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
React Native 0.59 and earlier versions
Starting with 0.60 version, React Native uses Autolinking, so you do not need to link the plugin on your own. However, for earlier versions (0.59 and lower) you still have to do it manually:
shell
react-native link pushwoosh-react-native-plugin
react-native link pushwoosh-geozones-react-native-plugin // for geozones plugin
3. Locate the
google-services.json file to the android/app/ folder in your project directory. Make sure that the package name of your app is registered for your Firebase project and persists in the google-services.json file.You should've gotten the
google-services.json file while creating the app in Firebase console. If you haven't, please consult this thread (section Get a config file for your Android app).4. In iOS Xcode project enable Push Notifications in the Capabilities section.
5. Import plugin and register for push notifications
import Pushwoosh from 'pushwoosh-react-native-plugin';
Pushwoosh.init({
"pw_appid" : "YOUR_PUSHWOOSH_APP_ID" ,
"project_number" : "YOUR_FCM_SENDER_ID"
});
Pushwoosh.register();
// this event is fired when the push is received in the app
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('pushReceived', (e: Event) => {
console.warn("pushReceived: " + JSON.stringify(e));
// shows a push is received. Implement passive reaction to a push, such as UI update or data download.
});
// this event is fired when user clicks on notification
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('pushOpened', (e: Event) => {
console.warn("pushOpened: " + JSON.stringify(e));
// shows a user tapped the notification. Implement user interaction, such as showing push details
});
6. Add GoogleServices gradle plugin to your project's build.gradle:
// you should already have buildscript and dependencies blocks in your project's build.gradle so just put the classpath line there
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
}
}
7. Apply GoogleServicesPlugin in your app's build.gradle:
```
// add these lines to the very end of your build.gradle
apply {
plugin com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
}
```
When receiving a push in the background, no events are triggered until a push notification is clicked. After it is opened, Pushwoosh plugin fires
pushReceived and pushOpenedevents.When a push is received in the foreground, the plugin fires
pushReceived automatically and creates a notification in the Notification Center. When this notification is opened, it fires pushOpened.You can listen to
pushReceived event to immediately react on a push in case it is received in foreground, e.g., update content on a current page in your app. pushOpened, on the other side, is used to react on a notification click event, which requires user interaction, e.g., to navigate within your app, trigger a new process in your app, etc.Foreground notification creation can be controlled with the following flags added to AndroidManifest.xml and info.plist:
AndroidManifest.xml
info.plist
<!--Add this line to show push notifications in foreground. Use "false" value to disable it-->
<meta-data android:name="PW_BROADCAST_PUSH" android:value="true"/>
<!-- Use NO to disable foreground notifications and YES to show it-->
<key>Pushwoosh_SHOW_ALERT</key>
<string>NO</string>
1. To enable location tracking in your application:
1.1 Install the React Native plugin into your app:
npm install pushwoosh-geozones-react-native-plugin --save
react-native link pushwoosh-geozones-react-native-plugin
1.2. For iOS, add the following keys to your Info.plist:
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription– (required) for app to track Geozones only while running in the foreground.NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription- (required) for app to track Geozones in both conditions, and to show a permission request dialog pop-up.NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription– (optional) for app to track Geozones at all times; should be used if your app targets iOS 10 and earlier versions.
2. To start location tracking, call:
import PushwooshGeozones from 'pushwoosh-geozones-react-native-plugin';
PushwooshGeozones.startLocationTracking();
