This is a wrapper for Kustomer v2 Sdk for react native. This implements the kustomer v2 for android and ios. Functions available for android and ios are available on react native.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-kustomer-sdk-v2 --save

or

$ yarn add react-native-kustomer-sdk-v2

Requirements

• Android minSdkVersion 21
• iOS level 11

Android ( Important )

For android to register the api key

Add the following dependancies in build.gradle (App)

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation 'com.kustomer.chat:ui:2.9.2'
  ...
}

Add the code at last inside onCreate() in MainApplication.java

//MainApplication.java
//Add these import files
import kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1;
import com.kustomer.ui.KustomerOptions;
import com.reactnativekustomersdk.KustomerSdkPackage;
import com.kustomer.ui.Kustomer;  // Added for customer
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.kustomer.core.models.KusResult;
import kotlin.Unit;

...

public  void  onCreate()  {
...
	try {
	    Kustomer.Companion.init(this, "Enter-api-key-here", (KustomerOptions) null, (result) -> {
		    return Unit.INSTANCE;
		});
	}
	catch (AssertionError e) {
		Toast toast= Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"API KEY IS INVALID",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
	    toast.show();
	}
}// onCreate closing bracket

The above code will show the toast if the API key is invalid.

In case of allowBackup error

Either make following changes in AndroidManifest.xml

//This is preffered because it overrides all sub androidManifest files with allowBackup true.
<manifest
	...
	xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
>
	...
	<application
		...
		tools:replace="android:allowBackup"
	>

or

following changes in the AndroidManifest.xml file

	...
	<application
		...
		android:allowBackup="true"  //Change from false to true
	>
