RNAAltBeacon

A lib to work with AltBeacon and React Native. You need a valid Bluetooth 4.0 device to run it.

IOS

No donuts for you. I can't make a functional iOs version.

For test purpose, you can install AltBeacon for iOs into your project and add iOs folder content. It doesn't emit signal nor errors..

Android

Can transmit and receive beacon data. You need >4.4.4 Android version to see transmission working.

STEP 0 - Install Package

First of all, install it with npm install -S react-native-alt-beacon.

Step 1 - Update Gradle Settings

// file: android/settings.gradle
...

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

Step 2 - Update Gradle Build

// file: android/app/build.gradle
...

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-alt-beacon')
}

Step 3 - Target version minimum to 21

// file: android/app/build.gradle

defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 21
    ...
}

Step 4 - Register React Package and Handle onActivityResult

...
import br.com.fraguto.rnabeacon.RNABeaconPackage; // <--- import

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

    ...

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
            new MainReactPackage(),
            new RNABeaconPackage() // <------ add the package
        );
    }

    ...
}

Use:

For using it you must instance RNABeacon() or use the Legacy static one (deprecated);

  const beacon = new RNABeacon();

Methods:

Transmit:

I can't make this work in my example. So, use in your own risk.

checkTransmissionSupported() : Promise

checkTransmissionSupported(callback:Function) : void

Checks if transmission is supported for now in the device.

  beacon
    .checkTransmissionSupported()
    .then(() => {/*...success*/} )
    .catch((errorCode) => console.log(beacon.errors[errorCode]));

Errors

It is an integer array with error codes and its description.

  // can found in the "errors" property or translated into:
  errors = {
    1: 'NOT_SUPPORTED_MIN_SDK',
    2: 'NOT_SUPPORTED_BLE',
    3: 'DEPRECATED_NOT_SUPPORTED_MULTIPLE_ADVERTISEMENTS',
    4: 'NOT_SUPPORTED_CANNOT_GET_ADVERTISER',
    5: 'NOT_SUPPORTED_CANNOT_GET_ADVERTISER_MULTIPLE_ADVERTISEMENTS'
  };

(deprecated) static startTransmitting(uuid:String, params:Object, onSuccess:Function, onError:Function) : void

transmit(uuid:String, params:Object, onSuccess:Function, onError:Function) : void

transmit(uuid:String, params:Object) : Promise

Starts transmitting UUID region beacon with parameters. UUID must be a 32 bit string. Eg. "F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6"

  beacon.transmit("F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6", {
    minor: "1", //of numerical one bit content
    major: "2", //of numerical one bit content
    manufacturer: 0x0118 //as in AltBeacon example
    data: [] //array of integers
  })
    .then(()=> /* success */)
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));

stopTransmitting(onSuccess:Function, onError:Function) : void

stopTransmitting() : Promise

Stops beacon transmission.

  beacon.stopTransmitting()
    .then(()=> /* success */)
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));

Monitoring:

static startMonitoring(uuid:String) : void (deprecated)

startMonitoring(uuid:String) : Promise

startMonitoring(uuid:String, onSuccess: Function, onError: Function) : void

Start monitoring for beacon regions.

  beacon.startMonitoring("F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6")
    .then(()=> /* success */)
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));

As you start monitoring, you must listen for the given events:

  beacon.on("didEnterRegion", (data)=> {
    /*
    data = {
      'uuid': String,
      'minor': String,
      'major': String
    }
    */
  });
  beacon.on("didExitRegion", ()=> {
    /*
    success
    */
  });
  beacon.on("startMonitoring", ()=> { //deprecated
    /*
    success
    */
  })

stopMonitoring() : Promise

It stops all monitors, then emits a didExitRegion event.

  beacon.stopMonitoring()
    .then(()=> /* success */)
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));
  beacon.on("didExitRegion", ()=> {
    /*
    success
    */
  });

Ranging:

static startRanging(uuid:String) : void (deprecated)

startRanging(uuid:String) : Promise

startRanging(uuid:String, onSuccess: Function, onError: Function) : void

Start ranging for beacon near the the device within its UUID.

  beacon.startRanging("F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6")
    .then(()=> /* success */)
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));

As you start ranging, you must listen for the given events:

  beacon.on("didFoundBeacons", (data)=> {
    /*
    data = [{
      'uuid': String,
      'minor': String,
      'major': String,
      'distance': Double //near in meters
    }, ...]
    */
  });
  beacon.on("didNotFoundBeacons", ()=> {
    /*
    success
    */
  });
  beacon.on("startRanging", ()=> { //deprecated
    /*
    success
    */
  })

stopRanging() : Promise

It stops all ranging monitors, then emits a didNotFoundBeacons event.

  beacon.stopRanging()
    .then(()=> /* success */)
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));
  beacon.on("didNotFoundBeacons", ()=> {
    /*
    success
    */
  });

Example

To view the example running, simple run npm install in example folder, then react-native run-android.

Remember that you need to run in a android device, because there is no BLE functionality in the emulator.
