React native - Use share

React Native - Use Share is a JavaScript implementation of a share sheet.

Installation

npm install react-native-use-share

yarn add react-native-use-share

Peer dependencies

To use the library you need to install all peer dependencies.

• expo-linking
• expo-localization
• expo-mail-composer
• expo-sms
• react-native-gesture-handler
• react-native-reanimated
• react-native-safe-area-context
• react-native-redash

Usage

Wrap your main component in the share provider.

import React from 'react';
import { ShareProvider } from 'react-native-use-share';
import ShareButton from './ShareButton';

const App = () => (
  <ShareProvider>
    <ShareButton />
  </ShareProvider>
);

export default App;

Children of the main component can then call useShare, and use the share function to display the share modal.

import React from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text } from 'react-native';
import { useShare } from 'react-native-use-share';

const ShareButton = () => {
  const { share } = useShare();

  const onPress = () =>
    share({
      title: 'Share',
      message:
        'There is a new share sheet for react native, you should check it out: ',
      url: 'https://github.com/theurbancoder/react-native-use-share',
    });

  return (
    <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress}>
      <Text>Share</Text>
    </TouchableOpacity>
  );
};

export default Providers;

Configure

The share provider takes an options argument to configure the share dialog.

const App = () => (
  <ShareProvider options={{
    language: "en",
    defaultTypes: ["sms", "email", "twitter"]
    theme: "dark"
  }}>
    {...}
  </ShareProvider>
);

Dark mode
