EOS connection to react native app

Question

Can someone share an example of EOS blockchain integration with react-native? I am new to EOS development and I am struggling to integrate it in react-native app, there are always some missing dependencies or libraries.. Any help, link, tutorial or just code would be very helpful!

Answer 1

The EvaCoop-Team forked eosjs to make it more compatible with react-native. Async handling in react-native is a big mess with the original eosjs.

Here's the link to the git react-native-eos which also contains examples.

Answer 2

If you just want to read data you can use the EOS RPC API. Then you can use the Fetch API (for React Native) to connect to it promised based.

Your code could look something like this to read from a table of a contract.

fetch(<http://{host}:{port}/v1/chain/get_table_rows>, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Accept: 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    code: <name of the smart contract>,
    table: <The name of the table to query>
}),
}).then(
 (result) => {
   // do something with result.json()
   // which will look like this
   // {
   // "rows": [
   //   {
   //     "account": "account",
   //     "balance": 1000
   //   }
   // ],
   // "more": false
   //}
 }
)
