react-native-device-info
Advanced tools
The react-native-device-info package provides device information and system details for React Native applications. It allows developers to access a wide range of device-specific information, such as device ID, system version, and more.
Get Device ID
This feature allows you to retrieve the unique device ID of the device running the application.
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
const deviceId = DeviceInfo.getDeviceId();
console.log(deviceId);Get System Version
This feature allows you to get the operating system version of the device.
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
const systemVersion = DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion();
console.log(systemVersion);Get Application Version
This feature allows you to retrieve the version of the application currently running on the device.
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
const appVersion = DeviceInfo.getVersion();
console.log(appVersion);Get Battery Level
This feature allows you to get the current battery level of the device.
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel().then(batteryLevel => {
console.log(batteryLevel);
});Get Device Name
This feature allows you to retrieve the name of the device.
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
DeviceInfo.getDeviceName().then(deviceName => {
console.log(deviceName);
});The react-native-device package offers basic device information like device ID and system version. It is simpler and may not provide as extensive information as react-native-device-info.
The react-native-battery package focuses specifically on battery-related information, such as battery level and charging status. It is more specialized compared to the broader scope of react-native-device-info.
Device Information for React Native.
Using npm:
npm install --save react-native-device-info
or using yarn:

var DeviceInfo = require('react-native-device-info');
// or import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
Gets the API level.
Examples
const apiLevel = DeviceInfo.getAPILevel();
// iOS: ?
// Android: 25
// Windows: ?
Notes
See API Levels
Gets the application name.
Examples
const appName = DeviceInfo.getApplicationName(); // "Learnium Mobile"
Gets the battery level of the device as a float comprised between 0 and 1.
Examples
DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel().then(batteryLevel => {
// 0.759999
});
Notes
Returns -1 on the iOS Simulator

Examples
const brand = DeviceInfo.getBrand();
// iOS: "Apple"
// Android: "Xiaomi"
// Windows: ?
Gets the application build number.
Examples
const buildNumber = DeviceInfo.getBuildNumber();
// iOS: "89"
// Android: 4

Examples
const bundleId = DeviceInfo.getBundleId(); // "com.learnium.mobile"
Gets the carrier name (network operator).
Examples
const carrier = DeviceInfo.getCarrier(); // "SOFTBANK"
Gets the device country based on the locale information.

Gets the device font scale. The font scale is the ratio of the current system font to the "normal" font size, so if normal text is 10pt and the system font is currently 15pt, the font scale would be 1.5 This can be used to determine if accessability settings has been changed for the device; you may want to re-layout certain views if the font scale is significantly larger ( > 2.0 )
Examples
const fontScale = DeviceInfo.getFontScale(); // 1.2

Notes
From developer.android.com:
Return the primary shared/external storage directory.
Note: don't be confused by the word "external" here. This directory can better be thought as media/shared storage. It is a filesystem that can hold a relatively large amount of data and that is shared across all applications (does not enforce permissions). Traditionally this is an SD card, but it may also be implemented as built-in storage in a device that is distinct from the protected internal storage and can be mounted as a filesystem on a computer.

Examples
DeviceInfo.getIPAddress().then(ip => {
// "92.168.32.44"
});
Android Permissions
Notes
Support for iOS was added in 0.22.0

Tells if the device is a tablet.
Examples
const isTablet = DeviceInfo.isTablet(); // true
When installing or using react-native-device-info, you may encounter the following problems:
react-native-device-info uses com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm to provide [getInstance()][#getinstance].
This can lead to conflicts when building the Android application.
If you're using a different version of com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm in your app, you can define the
googlePlayServicesVersion gradle variable in your build.gradle file to tell react-native-device-info what version
it should require.
If you're using a different library that conflicts with com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm, you can simply
ignore this dependency in your gradle file:
compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
Seems to be a bug caused by react-native link. You can manually delete libRNDeviceInfo-tvOS.a in Xcode -> [Your iOS build target] -> Build Phrases -> Link Binary with Libraries.
react-native-device-info contains native code, and needs to be mocked.
Here's how to do it with jest for example:
// in your package.json:
"jest": {
"setupFiles": [
"./testenv.js"
],
// testenv.js:
jest.mock('react-native-device-info', () => {
return {
getModel: jest.fn(),
};
});
See the CHANGELOG.md.
As a courtesy to developers, this library was made compatible in v0.17.0 with react-native-web by providing an empty polyfill in order to avoid breaking builds.
Only getUserAgent() will return a correct value. All other API methods will return an "empty" value of its documented return type: 0 for numbers, '' for strings, false for booleans.
