Getting Started

First, you will need to install the @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native-ui along with the @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native package:

npm i @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native-ui @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native

The @cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native package is the package which handles all the low level logic required for a meeting by interating with our servers. Use it to create a meeting object, which you can pass along to the UI Kit components.

Install the required native dependencies

npm install @cloudflare/react-native-webrtc @react-native-documents/picker react-native-file-viewer react-native-fs react-native-sound-player react-native-webview

Install these required dependencies as per your react-native version

• react-native-safe-area-context

  • react-native (>= 0.74 / 0.84.1+ recommended) :

    npm install react-native-safe-area-context@^5.0.0

• react-native-svg

  • Follow the installation instructions for react-native-svg.

  • npm install react-native-svg@<compatible-version>

Usage

Here's a series of steps that you need to perform:

• Set up RealtimeKitProvider. This provides the context that provides meeting object and other data to all the child components.
• Set up RtkUIProvider. This provides design system to child components.
• Initialize the RealtimeKit client. Use the useRealtimeKitClient() hook and initMeeting to initialize a client.
• Pass the meeting object to UI Kit, which will use it to retrieve meeting information and display it on the user interface.

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { RealtimeKitProvider, useRealtimeKitClient } from '@cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native';
import { RtkUIProvider, RtkMeeting, RtkWaitingScreen } from '@cloudflare/realtimekit-react-native-ui';

export default function App() {
  const [meeting, initMeeting] = useRealtimeKitClient();

  useEffect(() => {
    const init = async () => {
      initMeeting({
        authToken: '<auth-token>',
        defaults: {
          audio: true,
          video: true,
        },
      });
    };
    init();
  }, []);

  return (
    <RealtimeKitProvider value={meeting}>
      <RtkUIProvider>
        { !meeting ? 
          <RtkWaitingScreen /> : 
          <RtkMeeting meeting={meeting} showSetupScreen={true} iOSScreenshareEnabled={true} />
        }
      </RtkUIProvider>
    </RealtimeKitProvider>
  );
}
