react-native-networking

A react-native module to download and upload files on iOS and Android.

Installation

Installation (iOS)

Assuming you're using cocoapods to manage your iOS dependencies, add react-native-networking as a new dependency:

# Podfile
pod 'react-native-networking', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-networking'

then run pod install and you're good to go!

Installation (Android)

• In android/setting.gradle

...
include ':RNNetworkingManager', ':app'
project(':RNNetworkingManager').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-networking/android')

• In android/app/build.gradle

...
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':RNNetworkingManager')
}

• register module (in MainActivity.java)

import com.learnium.RNNetworkingManager.*;  // <--- import

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {
  ......

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);

    mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
      .setApplication(getApplication())
      .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
      .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
      .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
      .addPackage(new RNNetworkingManagerModule())              // <------ add here
      .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
      .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
      .build();

    mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "ExampleRN", null);

    setContentView(mReactRootView);
  }

  ......

}

Android Limitations

Android currently only supports downloading at the moment.

Usage

In your react-native project, require the module:

var RNNetworkingManager = require('react-native-networking');
var url = 'localhost:3000';

// Example GET request, (download)
RNNetworkingManager.requestFile(url, {
    'method':'GET'
}, function(results) {
  console.log(results);
});

// Example POST request, (upload)
RNNetworkingManager.requestFile(url, {
    'method': 'POST',
    'data' : 'pathToYourFileHere'
}, function(results) {
    console.log(results);
});

The GET request automatically downloads the file to the Documents/ in your app. Similarly, the POST request automatically uploads from Documents/ of your app.
