npm i --save react-native-ble-manager
After installing, you need to link the native library. You can either:
react-native link, orBoth approaches are described below.

start method before anything.retrieveServices methodLook in the example project.
Init the module.
Returns a Promise object.
Arguments
options - JSONThe parameter is optional the configuration keys are:
showAlert - Boolean - [iOS only] Show or hide the alert if the bluetooth is turned off during initializationrestoreIdentifierKey - String - [iOS only] Unique key to use for CoreBluetooth state restorationforceLegacy - Boolean - [Android only] Force to use the LegacyScanManagerExamples
BleManager.start({showAlert: false})
.then(() => {
// Success code
console.log('Module initialized');
});
Scan for availables peripherals.
Returns a Promise object.
Arguments
serviceUUIDs - Array of String - the UUIDs of the services to looking for. On Android the filter works only for 5.0 or newer.seconds - Integer - the amount of seconds to scan.allowDuplicates - Boolean - [iOS only] allow duplicates in device scanningExamples

.then(() => {
// Success code
console.log('Scan started');
});
Stop the scanning.
Returns a Promise object.
Examples
BleManager.stopScan()
.then(() => {

console.log('Scan stopped');
});
Attempts to connect to a peripheral. In many case if you can't connect you have to scan for the peripheral before.
Returns a Promise object.

console.log('Disconnected');
})
.catch((error) => {
// Failure code
console.log(error);
});
Create the request to the user to activate the bluetooth.
Returns a Promise object.
Examples

.catch((error) => {
// Failure code
console.log('The user refuse to enable bluetooth');
});
Force the module to check the state of BLE and trigger a BleManagerDidUpdateState event.
Examples
BleManager.checkState();
Start the notification on the specified characteristic.
Returns a Promise object.
Arguments

BleManager.startNotification('XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX')
.then(() => {
// Success code
console.log('Notification started');
})
.catch((error) => {
// Failure code
console.log(error);
});
Stop the notification on the specified characteristic.
Returns a Promise object.
Arguments
peripheralId - String - the id/mac address of the peripheral.serviceUUID - String - the UUID of the service.characteristicUUID - String - the UUID of the characteristic.Read the current value of the specified characteristic.
Returns a Promise object.
Arguments
peripheralId - String - the id/mac address of the peripheral.serviceUUID - String - the UUID of the service.characteristicUUID - String - the UUID of the characteristic.Examples
BleManager.read('XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX')
.then((readData) => {
// Success code
console.log('Read: ' + readData);
})
.catch((error) => {
// Failure code
console.log(error);
});
Write with response to the specified characteristic.
Returns a Promise object.
Arguments
peripheralId - String - the id/mac address of the peripheral.serviceUUID - String - the UUID of the service.characteristicUUID - String - the UUID of the characteristic.data - String - the data to write in Base64 format.maxByteSize - Integer - specify the max byte size before splitting messageTo get the data into base64 format, you will need a library like base64-js. Install base64-js:
npm install base64-js --save
To format the data before calling the write function:
var base64 = require('base64-js');
var data = base64.fromByteArray(yourData);
Examples
BleManager.write('XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', data)
.then(() => {

});
Removes a disconnected peripheral from the cached list.
It is useful if the device is turned off, because it will be re-discovered upon turning on again.

Arguments
peripheralId - String - the id/mac address of the peripheral.Check whether a specific peripheral is connected and return true or false.
Returns a Promise object.
Examples
BleManager.isPeripheralConnected('XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX', [])
.then((isConnected) => {
if (isConnected) {
console.log('Peripheral is connected!');
} else {
console.log('Peripheral is NOT connected!');
}
});
The scanning for peripherals is ended.
Arguments
noneExamples
bleManagerEmitter.addListener(
'BleManagerStopScan',
() => {
// Scanning is stopped
}
);
The BLE change state.
Arguments
state - String - the new BLE state ('on'/'off').Examples
bleManagerEmitter.addListener(
'BleManagerDidUpdateState',
(args) => {
// The new state: args.state
}
);
The scanning find a new peripheral.
