This SDK additionally inherits the requirements of its underlying Braze native SDKs. Be sure to also adhere to the lists below:
Braze Expo Plugin
If you're using Expo, you can install our plugin to integrate the React Native SDK without any native code. See the Braze Expo Plugin Github for more details.
Running the Sample App
BrazeProject
- Contains the BrazeProject sample app with integration examples for the React Native bridge. This sample app integrates the iOS bridge via manual linking, and the iOS SDK via Cocoapods. It can also optionally integrate the iOS bridge using Cocoapods via a local Podspec.
The following commands apply to both sample projects and use the BrazeProject
directory as an example.
cd BrazeProject/
yarn install
# In a separate tab:
cd BrazeProject/
npx react-native start
iOS
Our sample app integrates the native Braze iOS SDK through Cocoapods.
From the BrazeProject
directory:
sudo gem install cocoapods
cd ios/
pod install # If you are using the New Architecture, you need to run `RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 pod install` instead.
cd ../
npx react-native run-ios
Android
From the BrazeProject
directory:
npx react-native run-android
Style
- Generally we try to mimic the Braze Web SDK's Javascript interface where appropriate.
- We use eslint as our linter. From the root directory, run
npm run lint
to list errors ornpm run lint-fix
to automatically fix errors. To override the rules in thestandard-react
config, add"rules"
in.eslintrc.json
.
Testing
- We use jest for testing the React Native SDK.
- Run the tests and code coverage report using
npm test
