react-native-blockstack
Decentralized identity and storage with Blockstack in React Native
Welcome to the React Native bridge of the Blockstack SDK. This bridge exists to help you get started quickly developing react native apps, but not all functionality available in the official native Blockstack SDK has been bridged over. As this is a community maintained repo, feel free to fill in the gaps and submit a pull request. For questions, concerns, ideas, or requests, open an issue, join the Blockstack Community Slack (https://community.blockstack.org/slack), or reach out in the forums (https://forum.blockstack.org). Happy hacking!
Getting started
$ npm install react-native-blockstack --save
Mostly automatic installation (not for iOS, see steps below)
$ react-native link react-native-blockstack
Manual installation
iOS
Create project
If you do not already have a react native project set up, create one via the React Native CLI. Follow Facebook's official getting started guide here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html.
Once this is set up, move on to the next section to integrate the Blockstack SDK.
Setup Cocoapods
-
Install cocoapods, sudo gem install cocoapods
-
In the terminal, navigate to your project root and use command pod init
-
In the created Podfile
, add the following lines under your target:
use_frameworks!
pod 'Blockstack'

-
From the terminal, enter pod install
-
Open the newly created [your project's name].xcworkspace
project. Note: Always use this file and not the .xcodeproj file when opening your project.
Add module
-
In XCode, in the project navigator, right click your project and select Add Files to [your project's name]
- NOTE: Make sure "Create Groups" is selected in the file picker, or the native module will not be properly exported!
-
Go to node_modules
➜ react-native-blockstack
➜ ios
and add the RNBlockstackSdk
folder
-
Run your project (Cmd+R
)
-
In your React Native project's App.js file, add the following line:
import RNBlockstackSdk from "react-native-blockstack";
-
Utilize relevant methods as defined in RNBlockstackSdk.swift
(i.e. RNBlockstackSdk.isUserSignedIn()
)
- This is a community maintained repo. Feel free to add any missing functionality and submit a pull request :).
Android
- Open up
android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java
- Add
import com.reactlibrary.RNBlockstackSdkPackage;
to the imports at the top of the file - Add
new RNBlockstackSdkPackage()
to the list returned by the getPackages()
method
- Append the following lines to
android/settings.gradle
:
include ':react-native-blockstack'
project(':react-native-blockstack').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-blockstack/android')
- Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in
android/app/build.gradle
:
compile project(':react-native-blockstack')
Windows
Read it! :D
- In Visual Studio add the
RNBlockstackSdk.sln
in node_modules/react-native-blockstack/windows/RNBlockstackSdk.sln
folder to their solution, reference from their app. - Open up your
MainPage.cs
app
- Add
using Blockstack.Sdk.RNBlockstackSdk;
to the usings at the top of the file - Add
new RNBlockstackSdkPackage()
to the List<IReactPackage>
returned by the Packages
method
Usage
import RNBlockstackSdk from 'react-native-blockstack';
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.hasSession()
hasSession = result["hasSession"]
config = {
appDomain:"https://example.com",
scopes:["store_write"]
}
session = await RNBlockstackSdk.createSession(config)
await RNBlockstackSdk.signIn()
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.handleAuthResponse(this.props.authResponse)
did = result["decentralizedID"]
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.signUserOut()
success = result["signedOut"]
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.isUserSignedIn()
signedIn["signedIn"]
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.loadUserData()
did = result["decentralizedID"]
content = "Hello React Native"
options = {encrypt: false}
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.putFile("text.txt", content, options)
fileUrl = result["fileUrl"]
options = {decrypt:false}
result = await RNBlockstackSdk.getFile("text.txt", options)
fileContents = result["fileContents"]
