react-native-qiscus-meet

React native wrapper for Qiscus Meet SDK

Install

npm install react-native-qiscus-meet --save

If you are using React-Native < 0.60, you should use a version < 2.0.0.
For versions higher than 2.0.0, you need to add the following piece of code in your metro.config.js file to avoid conflicts between react-native-qiscus-meet and react-native in metro bundler.

const blacklist = require('metro-config/src/defaults/blacklist');

module.exports = {
  resolver: {
    blacklistRE: blacklist([
      /ios\/Pods\/JitsiMeetSDK\/Frameworks\/JitsiMeet.framework\/assets\/node_modules\/react-native\/.*/,
    ]),
  },
};

Although most of the process is automated, you still have to follow the platform install guide below (iOS and Android) to get this library to work.

Use (>= 2.0.0)

The following component is an example of use:

import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import QiscusMeet, { QiscusMeetView } from 'react-native-qiscus-meet';

class VideoCall extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.onConferenceTerminated = this.onConferenceTerminated.bind(this);
    this.onConferenceJoined = this.onConferenceJoined.bind(this);
    this.onConferenceWillJoin = this.onConferenceWillJoin.bind(this);
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      const url = 'https://your.qiscus.server/roomName'; // can also be only room name and will connect to jitsi meet servers
      const userInfo = { displayName: 'User', email: '[email protected]', avatar: 'https:/gravatar.com/avatar/abc123' };
      QiscusMeet.call(url, userInfo);
      /* You can also use QiscusMeet.audioCall(url) for audio only call */
      /* You can programmatically end the call with QiscusMeet.endCall() */
    }, 1000);
  }

  onConferenceTerminated(nativeEvent) {
    /* Conference terminated event */
  }

  onConferenceJoined(nativeEvent) {
    /* Conference joined event */
  }

  onConferenceWillJoin(nativeEvent) {
    /* Conference will join event */
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ backgroundColor: 'black',flex: 1 }}>
        <QiscusMeetView onConferenceTerminated={this.onConferenceTerminated} onConferenceJoined={this.onConferenceJoined} onConferenceWillJoin={this.onConferenceWillJoin} style={{ flex: 1, height: '100%', width: '100%' }} />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

export default VideoCall;

Android Install

1.) In android/app/build.gradle, add/replace the following lines:

project.ext.react = [
    entryFile: "index.js",
    bundleAssetName: "app.bundle",
]

2.) In android/app/src/main/java/com/xxx/MainApplication.java add/replace the following methods:

  import androidx.annotation.Nullable; // <--- Add this line if not already existing
  ...
    @Override
    protected String getJSMainModuleName() {
      return "index";
    }

      return "app.bundle";
    }

3.) In android/build.gradle, add the following code

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"

        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Side-note

If your app already includes react-native-locale-detector or react-native-vector-icons, you must exclude them from the react-native-qiscus-meet project implementation with the following code (even if you're app uses autolinking with RN > 0.60):

    implementation(project(':react-native-qiscus-meet')) {
      exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-locale-detector'
      exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-vector-icons'
    }
