Usage

Automatic Banner

This banner component automatically fetches an ad and adds the view when the ad is sucessfully loaded. It also takes care of the cleanup on unmount.

Props

type GAMAutomaticBanner = {
  adId: String,
  onAdFailedToLoad: function<error>,
  onAdLoaded: function<object: { height, width }>,
  onAdRequest: function<>,
  adSizes: Array<Array<width, height>>,
  testDeviceIds: Array<string>,
  style: styles,
}

Example

import { GAMAutomaticBanner } from '@callosum/react-native-google-ad-manager';

const AdBanner = () => (
  <GAMAutomaticBanner
    adId="/6499/example/banner"
    adSizes={[[320, 50]]}
    testDeviceIds={[RNGAMBanner.simulatorTestId]}
    style={{ height: 50, width: 320 }}
  />
)

Banner

This is a banner component that gives your more access to pure functionality in order to implement dynamic solutions like lazy loading and more performant integrations for repeating units in lists. It implements the same props as the automatic banner.

Additionally, you have the following methos available:

loadBanner()

This loads an ad but does not add it to the view hierarchy.

destroyBanner()

This destroys the created / loaded ad.

addBannerView()

This adds the native view to the view hierarchy.

removeBannerView()

This removes the native view from the view hierarchy.

Example

import { useRef } from "react";
import { RNGAMBanner } from "@callosum/react-native-google-ad-manager";

const AdBanner = () => {
  const _ref = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    _ref.current.loadBanner()

    return () => {
      _ref.current.removeBannerView()
      _ref.current.destroyBanner()
    }
  }, [])

  return (
    <RNGAMBanner
      adId="/6499/example/banner"
      adSizes={[[300, 250]]}
      testDeviceIds={[RNGAMBanner.simulatorTestId]}
      onAdLoaded={({ height, width }) => {
        _ref.current.addBannerView()
      }}
      onAdFailedToLoad={error => {
        console.log(error)
      }}
      ref={_ref}
      style={{ height: 300, width: 250 }}
    />
  );
};
