This is the installation doc for the Kommunicate SDK for React Native.

To add the Kommunicate module to you react native application, add it using npm:

npm install react-native-kommunicate-chat --save

Navigate to YourApp/ios directory from terminal and run the below command: pod install

Note: Kommunicate requires min ios platform version 13 and uses dynamic frameworks. Make sure you have the below settings at the top of your Podfile:

platform :ios, '13.0'
use_frameworks!

Import the module

You can use the module by importing it in your react native files as below:

import RNKommunicateChat from 'react-native-kommunicate-chat';

In the latest react native version above import statement might create a build issue. In that case, import the module using the following code:

var RNKommunicateChat = NativeModules.RNKommunicateChat;

Get your App Id

Sign up for Kommunicate to get your APP_ID. This APP_ID is used to create/launch conversations.

Note:Please refer to the Android and IOS installation guide Depending upon platform you want to integrate.

Launch chat

Kommunicate provides buildConversation function to create and launch chat directly saving you the extra steps of authentication, creation, initialization and launch. You can customize the process by building the conversationObject according to your requirements. To launch the chat you need to create a conversation object. This object is passed to the buildConversation function and based on the parameters of the object the chat is created/launched.

Please look into [Conversation Section] (https://docs.kommunicate.io/docs/reactnative-conversation) for some sample flows.

ProGuard rules

Add these proguard rules in the proguard-rules.pro file. If you skip this step then your app might crash in the the release build if minify enable is set to true.
