react-native-share-story

React Native Share Story, a simple tool for sharing videos to instagram. Check out the Facebook Docs for reference.

Getting started

npm i --save https://github.com/baronapp/react-native-share-story-story.git

Currently, the master branch off this git repo is the stable version of this package. It will soon moved to a version controlled NPM package.

Automatic Install

react-native link react-native-share-story

Manual install

iOS Pods Install (Recommended)

Cocopoads to use react-native-share-story.

You just need to add to your Podfile the react-native-share-story dependency.

  # react-native-share-story pod
  pod 'RNShare', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-share-story'

After that, just run a pod install or pod udpate to get up and running with react-native-share-story.

Then run a react-native link react-native-share-story.

Btw, We also recommend reading this (amazing article)[https://shift.infinite.red/beginner-s-guide-to-using-cocoapods-with-react-native-46cb4d372995] about how pods and rn work together. =D

Android Install

  1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java

    • Add import cl.json.RNSharePackage; and import cl.json.ShareApplication; to the imports at the top of the file
    • Add new RNSharePackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

  2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

    include ':react-native-share-story'
project(':react-native-share-story').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-share-story/android')

  3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

      compile project(':react-native-share-story')
