react-native-arkit

React Native binding for iOS ARKit.

Tutorial: How to make an ARKit app in 5 minutes using React Native

Note: ARKit is only supported by devices with A9 or later processors (iPhone 6s/7/SE, iPad 2017/Pro) on iOS 11 beta. You also need Xcode 9 beta to build the project.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-arkit --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-arkit

Manual installation

iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-arkit and add RCTARKit.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRCTARKit.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
4. Run your project (Cmd+R)<

Usage

A simple sample React Native ARKit App

// index.ios.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, View } from 'react-native';
import ARKit from 'react-native-arkit';

export default class ReactNativeARKit extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    // Add a cube in the scene. Only support cube geometry at the moment
    this.arkit.addBox({ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0, width: 0.1, height: 0.1, length: 0.1, chamfer: 0.01 });
    this.arkit.addSphere({ x: 0.2, y: 0, z: 0, radius: 0.05 });
    this.arkit.addCylinder({ x: 0.4, y: 0, z: 0, radius: 0.05, height: 0.1 });
    this.arkit.addCone({ x: 0, y: 0.2, z: 0, topR: 0, bottomR: 0.05, height: 0.1 });
    this.arkit.addPyramid({ x: 0.2, y: 0.15, z: 0, width: 0.1, height: 0.1, length: 0.1 });
    this.arkit.addTube({ x: 0.4, y: 0.2, z: 0, innerR: 0.03, outerR: 0.05, height: 0.1 });
    this.arkit.addTorus({ x: 0, y: 0.4, z: 0, ringR: 0.06, pipeR: 0.02 });
    this.arkit.addCapsule({ x: 0.2, y: 0.4, z: 0, capR: 0.02, height: 0.06 });
    this.arkit.addPlane({ x: 0.4, y: 0.4, z: 0, width: 0.1, height: 0.1 });
    this.arkit.addText({ x: 0.2, y: 0.6, z: 0, fontSize: 0.1, depth: 0.05, text: 'ARKit is Cool!' });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <ARKit
          ref={arkit => this.arkit = arkit}
          style={{ flex: 1 }}
          debug
          planeDetection
          lightEstimation
          onPlaneDetected={console.log} // event listener for plane detection
          onPlaneUpdate={console.log} // event listener for plane update
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

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