gekkou-react-native

A Wikia chat client for React Native. Fork of Gekkou.

Requirements

• NodeJS
• React Native (Tested with version 0.52.0, it should work with other versions too).

Note that this library doesn't have any native dependencies, this means you can use it with a CRNA or Expo project.

Installation

Add the package to your project:

Using Yarn: yarn add gekkou-react-native Using NPM: npm install --save gekkou-react-native

Differences from core Gekkou

• Replaced the request module with the React Native fetch API.
• The way you log in has changed a bit. In core Gekkou, you use new Client('username', 'password'). Here you can log in two ways:

Logging in with a password

global.client = new Client({
   username: 'Wikia username',
   password: 'Wikia password'
});

Logging in with an access_token

This is specially useful if you, for example, ask for the user's credentials on a login screen and validate them there. This way, if you save the access token returned by https://services.wikia.com/auth/token, you can use it to log in and avoid checking the credentials twice. This translates in less network requests, and a faster application.

global.client = new Client({
   username: 'Wikia username',
   token: 'access token'
});

Example: Ping Pong

import React from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Client } from 'gekkou-react-native';

export default class GekkouExample extends React.Component {

	componentDidMount() {
        global.client = new Client({
            username: 'Wikia username',
            password: 'Wikia password'
        });

        client.on('ready', () => {
            console.log('client ready!');
        });

        client.on('messageCreate', (msg) => {
            console.log(`[${msg.author.username}]: ${msg.content}`);
        });

        client.connect('your-wiki-domain');
	}

}
