To get the SDK loaded and running, you’ll need to:
- Install the Bluedot React Native npm package
- iOS: Install the Bluedot Point SDK Pod
- Set up the
build.gradle file for Android
- Initialize the SDK
1. Install the Bluedot React Native package
In the root directory of your project run
$ npm install bluedot-react-native --save
2. iOS: Install the Bluedot Point SDK Pod
To install the Bluedot Point SDK pod run the following commands in the terminal from the root directory of your project:
$ cd ios
$ pod install
Make sure to update the info.plist file within the ios folder. For further information please refer to the section Update your info.plist file in the iOS Quick Start Guide
3. Android: Update the build.gradle file
Include Jitpack in your Maven dependencies in the build.gradle file
allprojects {
repositories {
...
// ADD IT HERE
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
}
Make sure Jetify is available in your development environment
4. Initialize the SDK
Now that the project has been set up, you can import and initialize the Bluedot React Native package from your App:
The initialize method expects 3 parameters:
import React from 'react'
import BluedotPointSdk from 'bluedot-react-native';
export default function App() {
React.useEffect(() => {
BluedotPointSdk.initialize(
"Your_bluedot_project_id",
() => console.log("On Success Callback"),
(error) => console.error("On Error Callback", error)
)
}, [])
return (...)
}
Initialize Status
You can use the isInitialized method to check the status of the SDK. It will return a boolean value.
BluedotPointSdk.isInitialized()
.then(status => console.log("Is Bluedot SDk initialized?", status)
.catch(error => console.error("Error", error)
At this point, you’ve got the basics together, but to start receiving location events from the SDK, your need to use our Geo-triggering and/or Tempo features.
