Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.step.security.keystore.SCKeystorePackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new SCKeystorePackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-keystore'
   project(':react-native-keystore').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-keystore/android')
   include ':react-native-keystore:lib'
   project(':react-native-keystore:lib').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-keystore/android/lib')
   

2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     compile project(':react-native-keystore:lib')
   

Usage

import { KeyStore } from 'react-native-keystore'
let keyId = "my-awesome-key" // alias used to access this key in the future
// Generate a new signing key, will return public key as in JWK format
let publicKey = await KeyStore.generate(
  keyId,
  {
    authenticated: true, // should this key be guarded by passcode / biometric security?
    algorithm: 'ES256' // Figures out what curve to use for generating EC keypair
  }
)
// Will return signed JWT
const jwt = await KeyStore.signJWT(keyId, {
    // You can include whatever headers you need here, but alg is required
    headers: {
        alg: 'ES256' // Signing algorithm to use, needs to be supported by the key generated in previous step
    },
    // JWT Payload that you want signed
    payload: {
        sub: "I'm a little teapot"
    },
    // Shown in security prompt
    reason: "Need to sign my teapot"
})
// will throw an exception if verification fails
let valid = await KeyStore.verifyJWT(jwt)
