React Native Social Auth

React Native module provides auth methods via social networks using native APIs.

Very important! The module doesn't provide full stack communication with social networks API, it made just for auth.

Common

1. Install package via npm:

  npm install react-native-social-auth

2. Inside your code include JS part by adding

import SocialAuth from 'react-native-social-auth';

Perform platform specific setup - iOS - Android

Usage

Facebook

Constants

• SocialAuth.facebookPermissionsType.read
• SocialAuth.facebookPermissionsType.write

setFacebookApp({id, name})

SocialAuth.setFacebookApp({id: 'APP_ID', name: 'DISPLAY_NAME'});

getFacebookCredentials(permissions, permissionsType)

• permissions (Array of strings)
• permissionsType (one of facebookPermissionsType)

returns a promise

• resolved with credentials (object contains accessToken, userId, hasWritePermissions)
• rejected with error (object contains code and message)

SocialAuth.getFacebookCredentials(["email", "user_friends"], SocialAuth.facebookPermissionsType.read) .then((credentials) => console.log(credentials)); .catch((error) => console.log(error))

Twitter

getTwitterSystemAccounts()

returns a promise

• resolved with accounts (array of objects like {username: "userName"})
• rejected with error (object contains code and message)

SocialAuth.getTwitterSystemAccounts() .then((accounts) => console.log(accounts)) .catch((error) => console.log(error));

getTwitterCredentials(username, [reverseAuthResponse])

• username (Twitter account user name without @)

• reverseAuthResponse (is a string that returns by twitter's api when we do the first part of reverse auth)

  • you can define key and secret of your twitter app in RNSocialAuthManager.m

  #define twitterAppConsumerKey @"..." #define twitterAppConsumerSecret @"..." 

  But this way is not SAFE!

  • other option is that your server can perform the first part of reverse auth and send you back response of it. It looks like this

    OAuth oauth_timestamp="...", oauth_signature="...", oauth_consumer_key="...", oauth_nonce="...", oauth_token="...", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_version="1.0" 

    Then you just pass it to the function as a second parameter

returns a promise

• resolved with credentials (object contains oauthToken, oauthTokenSecret, userName)
• rejected with error (object contains code and message)

SocialAuth.getTwitterCredentials("dimkol") .then((credentials) => console.log(credentials)) .catch((error) => console.log(error));
