React Native Watch Connectivity
Enable communication between apple watch app and react native
Overview
React Native Watch Connectivity is a library that allows React Native iOS apps to communicate with Apple Watch apps. It acts as a bridge between the two platforms, enabling seamless connectivity without the need for rewriting the watch app in React Native. This library enhances the functionality of React Native apps by facilitating communication with watch apps written in Objective-C/Swift.
Features
- Bridge Communication: Facilitates communication between React Native iOS apps and Apple Watch apps.
- Autolinking Support: Supports autolinking for React Native 0.60+ versions.
- Manual Linking: Provides instructions for manually linking the library for versions below RN 0.60.
- Expo Support: Successfully used in Expo apps with Bare Workflow and EAS Build.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- React Native
React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using React and JavaScript. It enables developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web, while providing a native app-like experience to users.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
