A high-performance React Native library for iOS haptics and Android vibration effects.

Only New Architecture: This library is only compatible with the new architecture. If you're using React Native 0.76 or higher, it is already enabled. However, if your React Native version is between 0.68 and 0.75, you need to enable it first. Click here if you need help enabling the new architecture

Features

• 🚀  High-performance library built with Turbo Modules for Android and iOS

• 🎛️  Provides essential methods for triggering native haptic feedback

• 🤖  Supports a wide range of Android-specific vibration effects

• 🛠️  Easy to use with simple APIs

• 🧵  Executes on the UI thread to ensure instant feedback

• ✅  Fully type-safe and written in TypeScript

Installation

Bare React Native

Install the package using either npm or Yarn:

npm install @mhpdev/react-native-haptics

Or with Yarn:

yarn add @mhpdev/react-native-haptics

For iOS, navigate to the ios directory and install the pods:

cd ios && pod install

Expo

For Expo projects, follow these steps:

1. Install the package:

   npx expo install @mhpdev/react-native-haptics

2. Since it is not supported on Expo Go, run:

   npx expo prebuild

• Android Haptics: Expo Haptics is ~1.72x faster than its React Native Haptics counterpart ($3.238 / 1.879 \approx 1.72$)

Quick Start

import React from 'react';
import Haptics from '@mhpdev/react-native-haptics';
import {SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, Text, TouchableOpacity} from 'react-native';

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const onImpactPress = () => {
    Haptics.impact('heavy');
  };

  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <TouchableOpacity style={styles.button} onPress={onImpactPress}>
        <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Trigger Heavy Impact</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

export default App;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  button: {
    padding: 12.5,
    borderRadius: 5,
    backgroundColor: 'skyblue',
  },
  buttonText: {
    fontSize: 22,
    fontWeight: '600',
  },
});

Testing

To mock the package's methods and components using the default mock configuration provided, follow these steps:

• Create a file named @mhpdev/react-native-haptics.ts inside your __mocks__ directory.

• Copy the following code into that file:

  jest.mock('@mhpdev/react-native-haptics', () =>
    require('@mhpdev/react-native-haptics/jest'),
  );
