React Native WhatsApp Login Button

A WhatsApp signIn or signUp button for React Native and Expo.

Motivation

I needed a WhatsApp login button for a project, and all the templates I found were for SMS registration or Social Login.

Even with the popularity of WhatsApp, at most it was used to receive a code for the user to exit the app, copy the code in WhatsApp, return to the app, and paste it.

None worked like the social login mode (like OAuth).

So I decided to create a simple and easy-to-use one.

How it works

• When the button is pressed, it opens the WhatsApp app with the number and message configured in the .env file.

• Then you can configure your automation service to respond automatically to the user. Setting the DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGIN in the .env file.

• A automation service should respond with a link, to the deeplink lead to the app and in the callbackScreen method login/register the user.

Installation

npm install react-native-whatsapp-login-button
# or
yarn add react-native-whatsapp-login-button

Environment Variables

• WHATSAPP_NUMBER_CORE: The WhatsApp number to be used in the button.
• DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGIN: The default message to be used in the button.

Props

• whatsappNumberCore: If not provided, the number will be taken from the .env file. The WhatsApp number to be used in the button.
• defaultMessageLogin: If not provided, the message will be taken from the .env file. The default message to be used in the button.
• buttonText: The text to be used in the button.

Methods

Example

import {WhatsappButton} from 'react-native-whatsapp-login-button';
import {useNavigation} from '@react-navigation/native';


const App = () => {
  const navigation = useNavigation();

  const callBackScreen = () => {
    console.log('Callback screen');
    navigation.navigate('CodeVerification');
  };

  return <WhatsappButton 
            callBackScreen={callBackScreen}
            whatsappNumberCore={'5511999999999'} // International format (only numbers)
            defaultMessageLogin={'Hello, I want to sign up'}
            buttonText={'Sign Up with WhatsApp'}
          />;
};
