react-native-libsodium

React Native bindings to Libsodium matching the libsodium-wrappers package API

Supported Platforms:

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Currently only a subset of the libsodium-wrappers exposed functionality is implemented. For missing functionality we welcome pull-requests or you can sponsor the development. Get in touch with us at [e-mail].

Installation Expo (dev-client)

This package support the Expo plugin system and can be used together with the Expo dev-client.

npm install react-native-libsodium

Extend app.config.js with the following plugins entry:

export default {
  expo: {
    …
    plugins: [["react-native-libsodium", {}]],
  }
}

Installation React Native

npm install react-native-libsodium
cd ios && pod install

React Native Web

For the web platform the constants and functions from the libsodium-wrappers package is exposed. This also means you need to wait for the ready Promise to be resolved before using any constant or function.

Certain constants and functions e.g. crypto_pwhash are only available in the libsodium-wrappers-sumo package. To load this package instead for web you can call loadSumoVersion right after importing the package.

import { loadSumoVersion, ready } from 'react-native-libsodium';

loadSumoVersion();
