Follow this tutorial to learn how to create a React Native SDK for your native module. See how to use TypeScript, Jest, and Native Modules API
A React Native SDK comprises a collection of reusable components, functions, and utilities bundled together for easy integration into various projects. Creating an SDK involves defining functionalities, exporting components, and ensuring seamless usability for other developers.
Initiate a new React Native project for the authentication SDK:
npx react-native init AuthSDK
Identify the core functionalities and components your SDK will offer. Create reusable components and utilities that can be packaged together.
// AuthComponent.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button, Alert} from 'react-native';
import axios from 'axios';
export const AuthComponent = ({ onLogin }) => {
const [username, setUsername] = React.useState('');
const [password, setPassword] = React.useState('');
const handleLogin = () => {
//Username and password are requied to login
if(!username && password){
Alert.alert("Validation", "Please enter username and password");
}else{
//API Calling with Axios
axios.post('Rest_Api_Url', {
username: username,
password: password
})
.then(function (response) {
//Here you can handle the success case
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
// Error handling
console.log(error);
});
}
};
return (
<View>
<Text>User Login</Text>
<TextInput
placeholder="Username"
value={username}
onChangeText={setUsername}
/>
<TextInput
placeholder="Password"
value={password}
onChangeText={setPassword}
secureTextEntry
/>
<Button title="Login" onPress={handleLogin} />
</View>
);
};
Export the components, functions, or utilities that you want to make accessible to other developers using your SDK.
// index.js
export * from './AuthComponent';
Create comprehensive documentation detailing how developers can use your SDK. Include usage examples, code snippets, and explanations for each exported functionality.
Perform thorough testing of each functionality within your SDK. Ensure proper behavior, error handling, and compatibility across different React Native versions.
Bundle your SDK into a distributable package using npm or yarn.
npm pack
Publish the packaged SDK to a package registry like npm or a private repository, making it accessible for other developers to install and use.
1. Install the SDK in Other React Native Apps
npm install AuthSDK
2. Import and Use SDK Components or Functionalities
import { AuthComponent } from 'AuthSDK';
// Use AuthComponent in your app's authentication flow
3. Utilize SDK Functionalities in Other Apps
Integrate and use the exported components and functions from the SDK within the codebase of other React Native applications.
