Example Usage

import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import RNKalmanLocation from 'react-native-kalman-location';

import {
  Component,
  AppRegistry,
  DeviceEventEmitter,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

type State = {
	latitude: number,
	longitude: number,
	provider: 'gps' | 'kalman',
	accuracy: number,
}

export default class RNKalmanLocationExample extends PureComponent {

	state: State = {
		latitude: 0, 
		longitude: 0,
		provider: '',
		accuracy: 0,
	};

	componentDidMount() {
		// Register Listener Callback - has to be removed later
		this.evEmitter = DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('kalmanFilter', this.onLocationChange);
		// Initialize RNKalmanLocation to start emiting location
		RNKalmanLocation.getLocation();
	}

  onLocationChange = (e: State) => {
    this.setState(() => ({ ...e }));
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    // Stop listening for Events
    this.evEmitter.remove();
		//	Stop emiting location, this is required!!
		RNKalmanLocation.removeListener();
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Text style={styles.location}>
          {JSON.stringify(this.state, null, 4)}
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',

    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  location: {
    textAlign: 'center',

  }
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('RNKalmanLocationExample', () => RNKalmanLocationExample);
