And react-native-wechat has the following tracking data in open source world:

| type | badge | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------| | NPM | | | Dependency | | | Downloads | |

Linking Steps

Before using this library to work with your app, you should follow the below steps to link this library with your app project, if there is something that not working, please check the list here.

Linking iOS

• Link RCTWeChat library from your node_modules/react-native-wechat/ios folder like react-native's Linking Libraries iOS Guidance, Note: Don't forget to add it to "Build Phases" of your target project.

• Add the following libraries to your "Link Binary with Libraries":

  SystemConfiguration.framework
  CoreTelephony.framework
  libsqlite3.0
  libc++
  libz

• Add "URL Schema" as your app id for "URL type" in Targets > info, See the following screenshot for the view on your XCode

• Only for iOS 9, add wechat and weixin into LSApplicationQueriesSchemes in Targets > info > Custom iOS Target Properties.

• Code the following in AppDelegate.m of your project to enable [LinkingIOS]

  - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url
  sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation
  {
    return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url
                              sourceApplication:sourceApplication annotation:annotation];
  }

Linking Android with Gradle

• Add following lines into android/settings.gradle

  include ':RCTWeChat'
  project(':RCTWeChat').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-wechat/android')

• Add following lines into your android/app/build.gradle in section dependencies

  dependencies {
    compile project(':RCTWeChat')    // Add this line only.
  }

• Add following lines into MainActivity.java

  import com.theweflex.react.WeChatPackage;       // Add this line before public class MainActivity
  ...
  
  /**
   * A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views
   * or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here.
   */
  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
      new MainReactPackage(), 
      new WeChatPackage()        // Add this line
    );
  }

• Create a package named 'wxapi' in your application package and a class named 'WXEntryActivity' in it. This is needed to get request and response from wechat.

  package your.package.wxapi;
  
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import com.theweflex.react.WeChatModule;
  
  public class WXEntryActivity extends Activity{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      WeChatModule.handleIntent(getIntent());
      finish();
    }
  }

• Add activity declare in your AndroidManifest.xml

  <manifest>
    <application>
      <!-- 微信Activity -->
      <activity
        android:name=".wxapi.WXEntryActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:exported="true"
        />
    </application>
  </manifest>

• Add these lines to 'proguard-rules.pro':

  -keep class com.tencent.mm.sdk.** {
     *;
  }

These example code need 'react-native-chat' and 'react-native-fs' plugin.

import * as WeChat from 'react-native-wechat';
import fs from 'react-native-fs';
let resolveAssetSource = require('resolveAssetSource');

// Code example to share text message:
try {
  let result = await WeChat.shareToTimeline({

    description: 'hello, wechat'
  });
  console.log('share text message to time line successful:', result);
} catch (e) {
  console.error('share text message to time line failed with:', e);
}

// Code example to share image url:

try {
  let result = await WeChat.shareToTimeline({
    type: 'imageUrl',
    title: 'web image',

  });
  console.log('share image url to time line successful:', result);

// iOS code use DocumentDirectoryPath
try {
  let rootPath = fs.DocumentDirectoryPath;
  let fileName = 'signature_method.doc';
