Capacitor-intents NPM

Simple intent tools for Capacitor on Android platform.

This plugin currently supports multiple broadcast receiving of intents, and sending out BroadcastIntents, however I intend to add more functionallity.

Installation

1. Install module

npm i capacitor-intents

2. Modify YOUR_PROJECT\android\app\src\main\java\YOUR_appId\MainActivity.java to reflect below.

...

import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;
import com.getcapacitor.Plugin;
import com.itmikes.capacitorintents.CapacitorIntents;

...

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Initializes the Bridge
    this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
      // Additional plugins you've installed go here
      // Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
      add(CapacitorIntents.class);
    }});
  }
}

3. Use in your app (see below for example usage)

4. Enjoy!

Usage

EXAMPLE: Register a broadcast receiver with filters for actions, then after receive first broadcast unregister it. Then send a BroadcastIntent to test it all.

import 'capacitor-intents';
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';

let receiverId: string | null = null;

receiverId = await Plugins.CapacitorIntents.registerBroadcastReceiver({filters: ['example.itmikes.action']}, async (data) => {
    // data is a JS Object but could contain any structure
    console.dir(data);
    // data in this example will be {value: **JSONString of the below passed value**}

    // now unregister
    if(receiverId !== null)
        await Plugins.CapacitorIntents.unregisterBroadcastReceiver({id: receiverId});
});

async function testMe() {
    await Plugins.CapacitorIntents.sendBroadcastIntent({action: 'example.itmikes.action', value: {testValue: "Test String"}});
} 

testMe();
