2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
react-native-phone-call
Advanced tools
This is a small module that allows you to initiate a phone call in React Native.
Install with npm
$ npm install --save react-native-phone-call
Install with yarn
$ yarn add react-native-phone-call
To use the module, call the function with an object containing the number to call as a argument.
import call from 'react-native-phone-call'
const args = {
number: '9093900003', // String value with the number to call
prompt: false // Optional boolean property. Determines if the user should be prompt prior to the call
}
call(args).catch(console.error)
This module only provides a simple wrapper around the Linking API and is thus limited in the functionality it can provide. If you are looking for additional functionality, such as being able to initiate a phone call without user confirmation, please use other packages like react-native-immediate-phone-call.
All Contributions are welcome! Please open up an issue if you would like to help out. :smile:
