Usage

import RNChirpReactNative, {ChirpEvent} from 'chirp-react-native';

RNChirpReactNative;

//Initialize the SDK using the credentials given on the Chirp Admin Center https://admin.chirp.io/
RNChirpReactNative.init("API_KEY", "API_SECRET");

//Get the license (On the Admin Center can be set the method used by the SDK for communication. Standard (For audible sound) or Ultrasonic (for inaudible sound))
await RNChirpReactNative.getLicense();

//Start the SDK
RNChirpReactNative.start();

//Send a test sound (If set to Ultrasonic mode, the sound will be inaudible. You can use any app that detects Ultrasonic available on the Play Store for testing)
RNChirpReactNative.sendRandom();

//Or send an encoded data
RNChirpReactNative.send([172, 47, 117, 192]);

//Register a listener to catch transmited data
const listener = RNChirpReactNative.on(ChirpEvent.onReceived, (data) => {
	//Use the data received
	console.log(data);
})

//Stop the SDK and remove listeners to free up resources
RNChirpReactNative.stop();
RNChirpReactNative.removeListeners(); //Removes all listeners (useful for when closing the app or destroying the component)
listener.remove(); //Remove a single listener (useful for enabling or disabling specific actions)
