react-native-location-picker

React Native Wrapper for LocationPicker, a ready for use and fully customizable location picker.

Dependencies

• react-native-navigation - native navigation library for React Native (required to natively display the location picker within RN)

Installation

• Make sure your project relies on React Native >= 0.25

• Make sure your project uses react-native-navigation and that you've followed the Installation instructions there

1. In your RN project root run:
   npm install react-native-location-picker-controller --save

2. In Xcode, in Project Navigator (left pane), right-click on the Libraries > Add files to [project name]
   Add ./node_modules/react-native-location-picker-controller/ios/LocationPicker.xcodeproj (screenshots)

3. In Xcode, in Project Navigator (left pane), click on your project (top) and select the Build Phases tab (right pane)
   In the Link Binary With Libraries section add LocationPicker.framework (screenshots)

4. Open your Xcode project and drag RNLocationPicker.swift, RNLocationPickerManager.h, RNLocationPickerManager.m from the folder node_modules/react-native-location-picker/ios into your project, in the dialog box let Xcode create Objective-C bridging header.(screenshot 1, screenshot 2)

5. Editing <your project name>-Bridging-Header.h to import RCCExternalViewControllerProtocol.h and RCCViewController.h for Swift to use:

   //
   //  Use this file to import your target's public headers that you would like to expose to Swift.
   //
   #import "RCCExternalViewControllerProtocol.h"
   #import "RCCViewController.h"
   #import "RCTConvert.h"
   

6. In RNLocationPickerManager.m, replace #import "tacitus-Swift.h" to #import "<your project name>-Swift.h"

Usage

For a fully working example look here

First, create a placeholder screen for the location picker. The main purpose of this screen is to handle navigation events. See an example here.

Note: Make sure your screen component has been registered with Navigation.registerComponent like all react-native-navigation screens need to be, example.

Now, to display your screen, from within one of your other app screens, push the location picker:

import processColor from 'processColor';

this.props.navigator.push({
  screen: 'example.LocationPickerScreen',
  title: 'Pick  a Location',
  passProps: {
    externalNativeScreenClass: 'RNLocationPicker',
    externalNativeScreenProps: {
      currentLocationText: '当前位置',
      currentLocationIconColor: processColor('#72c02c'),
      allowArbitraryLocation: true,
      defaultLongitudinalDistance: 100,
    }
  }
});
