rn-native-bluetooth-classic

rn-bluetooth-classic is a React Native package that provides a Bluetooth context and hooks for managing Bluetooth functionality in your app. It handles permissions, device scanning, connection management, and data reception.

Installation

You can install rn-bluetooth-classic via npm or yarn:

npm install rn-bluetooth-classic

or

yarn add rn-bluetooth-classic

Dependencies

rn-bluetooth-classic uses react-native-bluetooth-classic under the hood to scan and connect to devices and only acts as a wrapper on top to make it easier to use.

npm install react-native-bluetooth-classic

or

yarn add react-native-bluetooth-classic

Usage

1. Import the BluetoothProvider and wrap your app with it in your root component:

import { BluetoothProvider } from 'rn-bluetooth-classic';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <BluetoothProvider>
      <YourApp />
    </BluetoothProvider>
  );
};

2. Use the useBluetooth hook in your components to access Bluetooth functionality:

import { useBluetooth } from 'rn-bluetooth-classic';

const YourComponent = () => {
  const { isScanning, devices, scanDevices, connectToDevice } = useBluetooth();

  // Your component logic here...
};

Use with Expo

If you are using Expo and want to integrate rn-bluetooth-classic, you can use the with-rn-bluetooth-classic Expo plugin maintained by amitferman. This plugin helps with auto-configuration of permissions and protocols.

Expo Plugin

amitferman has released and maintains a with-rn-bluetooth-classic Expo plugin to get things working.

        "peripheralUsageDescription": "Allow myDevice to check bluetooth peripheral info",
        "alwaysUsageDescription": "Allow myDevice to always use bluetooth info",
