React Native support about giphy-js HOT 15 CLOSED

@devpascoe gotcha. We're a bit off in developing this, we'll have a new @giphy/react-native-components library and everything. Excited to work on it though, hopefully soon 🤞

from giphy-js.

Has anyone had any luck getting @giphy/js-fetch-api working in React Native?
I'm getting the error "Can't find variable: location" and not having much luck trying to figure out how to fix it.

Thanks @devpascoe ! When you say working again, what do you mean is working?

from giphy-js.

Working as in the Xcode project will build again.

Fun! Getting by with using your urls directly for now. 👍

Facing the same issue with Android app as well.

@banatiarpit97 don't forget we do have native SDKs: https://developers.giphy.com/docs/sdk#android React Native SDK isn't currently being worked on, but it is on the roadmap

from giphy-js.

Yes, I know about the Android SDK but integrative native SDK on a react native app would be a tedious task for me. Directly hitting Giphy URLs seems an easier option right now.
Anyways, excited to see a React Native SDK in future.

@destinybonavita can you see where location is being referenced? There isn't anything in the giphy/js repo that looks problematic to me. It could be a dependency though

from giphy-js.

@giannif I didn't see anything in the repo that could of been causing it. I searched my entire repo, node_modules included, for location but couldn't find anything. I eventually just decided to use the REST API.

@destinybonavita thanks for giving it a shot. React Native support is on our roadmap. Stay tuned

I've just worked on giphy picker for a react native project and to make this library work with it I needed to edit these files:

• get-pingback-id.js in js-utils - react native doesn't have sessionStorage so as a workaround you can just check if the sessionStorage exists and if it doesn't generate new pingbackId without saving it
• log.js in js-utils - to enable the Logger it uses location which is not available in react native so as a solution you need to add an additional check typeof location !== 'undefined'

from giphy-js.

@szymonograbek thanks for digging in here, I'm going to make the changes and do a release. Confused though about what I can do for sessionStorage, is there an error thrown? It looks like everything is a in a try catch and pingback id should still be stored in memory

from giphy-js.

@giannif Oh, that's true, I didn't notice the try/catch block. The change with checking if sessionStorage exists is not needed. Since yesterday I came across another issue and you need to follow this https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid#getrandomvalues-not-supported as getRandomValues in uuid is not supported in react-native

Good news everyone, we have an official React Native SDK coming soon. If you'd like to request access to the limited beta, email [email protected] and include your github user name
