react-native-arkit

React Native binding for iOS ARKit.

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

Sample Project: https://github.com/HippoAR/ReactNativeARKit

Note: ARKit is only supported by devices with A9 or later processors (iPhone 6s/7/SE/8/X, iPad 2017/Pro) on iOS 11. You also need Xcode 9 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 {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <ARKit
          style={{ flex: 1 }}
          debug
          planeDetection
          lightEstimation
          onPlaneDetected={console.log} // event listener for plane detection
          onPlaneUpdate={console.log} // event listener for plane update
        >
