React Native AEP Places Monitor Extension

@adobe/react-native-acpplaces-monitor is a wrapper around the iOS and Android AEP Places SDK to allow for integration with React Native applications. Functionality to enable Adobe Places is provided entirely through JavaScript documented below.

Installation

You need to install the SDK with npm and configure the native Android/iOS project in your react native project. Before installing the Places extension it is recommended to begin by installing the Core extension.

Note: If you are new to React Native we suggest you follow the React Native Getting Started page before continuing.

1. Create React Native project

First create a React Native project:

react-native init MyReactApp

2. Install JavaScript packages

Install and link the @adobe/react-native-acpplaces-monitor package:

cd MyReactApp
npm install @adobe/react-native-acpplaces-monitor

2.1 Link

• React Native 0.60+

CLI autolink feature links the module while building the app.

• React Native <= 0.59

react-native link @adobe/react-native-acpplaces-monitor

Note For iOS using cocoapods, run:

cd ios/ && pod install

Tests

This project contains jest unit tests which are contained in the __tests__ directory, to run the tests locally:

make run-tests-locally

Usage

PlacesMonitor

Importing the extension:

import {ACPPlacesMonitor} from '@adobe/react-native-acpplaces-monitor';

Getting the extension version:

ACPPlacesMonitor.extensionVersion().then(version => console.log("AdobeExperienceSDK: ACPPlacesMonitor version: " + version));

Registering the extension with ACPCore:

iOS

Within the App's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, register the SDK extensions:

#import "ACPCore.h"
#import "ACPPlaces.h"
#import "ACPPlacesMonitor.h"

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions {
    [ACPCore configureWithAppId:@"yourAppId"];
    [ACPPlaces registerExtension]; //Register Places with Core
    [ACPPlacesMonitor registerExtension]; //Register PlacesMonitor with Core
    [ACPCore start: nil];

    return YES;
}

The following updates are also neccessary for Places Monitor on iOS:

• Enable location updates in the background
• Add the keys NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription to the app's plist file

Android

Within the App's OnCreate method, register the SDK extensions and start the Places Monitor:

import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.MobileCore;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.Places;
import com.adobe.marketing.mobile.PlacesMonitor;

public class MobileApp extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        MobileCore.setApplication(this);
        MobileCore.ConfigureWithAppId("yourAppId");
        try {
            Places.registerExtension(); //Register Places with Core
            PlacesMonitor.registerExtension(); //Register PlacesMonitor with Core
            MobileCore.start(null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            //Log the exception
        }
    }
}

The following update is also necessary for Places Monitor on Android:

• Add location permissions to the app manifest

Start the Places Monitor:

ACPPlacesMonitor.start();

Stop the Places Monitor:

ACPPlacesMonitor.stop(true);

Update the device's location:

ACPPlacesMonitor.updateLocation();

Set or upgrade the location permission request (Android) / request authorization level (iOS):

ACPPlacesMonitor.setRequestLocationPermission(ACPPlacesMonitorLocationPermission.ALWAYS_ALLOW);
ACPPlacesMonitor.setRequestLocationPermission(ACPPlacesMonitorLocationPermission.WHILE_USING_APP);
ACPPlacesMonitor.setRequestLocationPermission(ACPPlacesMonitorLocationPermission.NONE);

Set the monitoring mode (iOS only):

ACPPlacesMonitor.setPlacesMonitorMode(ACPPlacesMonitorModes.CONTINUOUS);
ACPPlacesMonitor.setPlacesMonitorMode(ACPPlacesMonitorModes.SIGNIFICANT_CHANGES);
