React Native module for commincating with Layer iOS SDK https://layer.com/

this doc is a work in progress

Layer installation

1. Install cocopods (if not already installed) sudo gem install cocoapods

2. Run the following command: pod init

3. add the following line to Podfile: pod 'LayerKit'

4. Run the following command: pod install --verbose

5. Add this to your package.json dependencis under ReactNative dir
   "react-native-layerkit": "[email protected]:leejms/react-native-layerkit.git"

6. Install npm npm install

7. Open your .xcworkspace

8. Click "Build Settings" in Xcode: Add the followindg to "Other Linker Flags": $inherited

      }
    }
  );

####getConversations(limit, offset, callback)

limit: maximum number of messages to return.  0 = no maximum

callback return:[error, Array of conversasion objects]

example:

    Layer.getConversations(0,0,(error, success) => {

        else {
          console.log('getAllConvos success',success);
        }
      }
    );

####getMessages(conversationID, limit, offset, callback)

conversationID: unique id of the conversation to retrieve messages for
limit: maximum number of messages to return.  0 = no maximum
offset: message numer to start from (for paging)
callback return:[error, Array of message objects]

example:

        else {
          console.log('getMessages success',success);
        }
      }
    );

####sendTypingBegin(conversationID)

conversationID: the unique conversation object id

example: ####sendTypingEnd(conversationID)

conversationID: the unique conversation object id

example: ####registerForTypingEvents()

will register to recieve typing indicator events from other users

listen to events example:

var React = require('react-native');
var {
  ...
  NativeAppEventEmitter,
  ...
} = React;
...
  componentWillMount() {
    subscription = NativeAppEventEmitter.addListener( 'LayerEvent', (event) => this._handleEvent(event) );
  },
  componentWillUnmount() {
    subscription.remove();
  },
  _handleEvent(event) {
    console.log(event);
