IMPORTANT this repository is deprecated and has moved to react-native-beacons-manager

react-native-ibeacons: add beacon technology in your React Native application for both iOS and Android.

This repository is born to keep alive and up to date these 2 original awesome:

• ibeacon for android
• ibeacon for iOS

If you want to know more about just have a look at my medium article.

Install (iOS and Android)

Ensure to have NodeJS >= v6.x.

You must run on real devices (don't forget to active Bluetooth when running).

Mobile Version compatibility:

• iOS minimum version
  • 8.0
• Android minimum version
  • 21 (alias LOLLIPOP)

1. get modules

via npm:

npm install react-native-ibeacons

or via yarn:

yarn install react-native-ibeacons

2. link to your application

react-native link react-native-ibeacons

3.a configuration specific to iOS

IMPORTANT: you have to set Bluetooth and localization service in background Modes

3.b configuration specific to Android

Nothing (lucky Android 😄).

4 usage

4.a iOS

Simple example

var React = require('react-native');
var {DeviceEventEmitter} = React;

var Beacons = require('react-native-ibeacons');

// Define a region which can be identifier + uuid,
// identifier + uuid + major or identifier + uuid + major + minor
// (minor and major properties are numbers)
var region = {
    identifier: 'Estimotes',
    uuid: 'B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D'
};

// Request for authorization while the app is open
Beacons.requestWhenInUseAuthorization();

Beacons.startMonitoringForRegion(region);
Beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(region);

Beacons.startUpdatingLocation();

// Listen for beacon changes
var subscription = DeviceEventEmitter.addListener(
  'beaconsDidRange',
  (data) => {
    // data.region - The current region
    // data.region.identifier
    // data.region.uuid

    // data.beacons - Array of all beacons inside a region
    //  in the following structure:
    //    .uuid
    //    .major - The major version of a beacon
    //    .minor - The minor version of a beacon
    //    .rssi - Signal strength: RSSI value (between -100 and 0)
    //    .proximity - Proximity value, can either be "unknown", "far", "near" or "immediate"
    //    .accuracy - The accuracy of a beacon
  }
);

4.b Android

Simple example

import { DeviceEventEmitter } from 'react-native'
import Beacons from 'react-native-ibeacons'

// Tells the library to detect iBeacons
Beacons.detectIBeacons()

// Start detecting all iBeacons in the nearby
try {
  await Beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion('REGION1')
  console.log(`Beacons ranging started succesfully!`)
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`Beacons ranging not started, error: ${error}`)
}

// Print a log of the detected iBeacons (1 per second)
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('beaconsDidRange', (data) => {
  console.log('Found beacons!', data.beacons)
})
