Example

First import/require react-native-http-server:

    var httpBridge = require('react-native-http-bridge');

Initalise the server in the componentWillMount lifecycle method. You need to provide a port and a callback where requests will be captured. Currently there is no way to return responses.

    componentWillMount(){

      // initalize the server (now accessible via localhost:1234)
      httpBridge.start(5561, function(request) {

          // request.url
          // request.postData

      });

    }

Finally, ensure that you disable the server when your component is being unmounted.

  componentWillUnmount() {
    httpBridge.stop();
  }
