react-native-zendesk-chat

Simple module that allows displaying Zopim Chat from Zendesk for React Native.

VERSIONS

For RN version higher than 0.30 use version 0.1.x. For RN version lower than 0.30 use version 0.0.2.

Known issues

I could not find how to make the import for iOS work properly since I'm using Cocoapods for Zendesk, if you have a suggestion that would be great.

Getting started

Follow the instructions to install the SDK for iOS and Android.

Manual install

iOS

1. npm install react-native-zendesk-chat --save
2. In Xcode, drag and drop node_modules/react-native-zendesk-chat/RNZendeskChat.m and node_modules/react-native-zendesk-chat/RNZendeskChat.h into your project.
3. Configure ZDCChat in AppDelegate.m:

[ZDCChat configure:^(ZDCConfig *defaults) {
  defaults.accountKey = "YOUR_ZENDESK_ACCOUNT_KEY";
}];

Android

1. npm install react-native-zendesk-chat --save
2. Open up android/app/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.taskrabbit.zendesk.*; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNZendeskChatPackage(this) to the list returned by the getPackages() method

1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-zendesk-chat'
project(':react-native-zendesk-chat').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,	'../node_modules/react-native-zendesk-chat/android')

1. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

compile project(':react-native-zendesk-chat')

1. Configure ZopimChat in android/app/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

ZopimChat.init("YOUR_ZENDESK_ACCOUNT_KEY").build();

Usage

In your code add import ZendeskChat from 'react-native-zendesk-chat';.

ZendeskChat.startChat({
  name: user.full_name,
  email: user.email,
  phone: user.mobile_phone,
});

TODO

• Allow setting form configuration from JS
• Add examples
