rn-quick-actions

Quick Actions(iOS) & App Shortcuts(Android) for React Native

Installation

yarn add rn-quick-actions

Setup

iOS

If you are using cocoapods - you may need to run pod install (from ios directory).

On iOS, Quick Actions are handled by the application:performActionForShortcutItem:completionHandler method of your app's UIApplicationDelegate (i.e. AppDelegate.m), so, you will therefore need to add the following code in your project's AppDelegate.m) file.

// add on top of the file
#import "RNShortcuts.h"
// ...

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application performActionForShortcutItem:(UIApplicationShortcutItem *)shortcutItem completionHandler:(void (^)(BOOL))completionHandler {
    [RNShortcuts performActionForShortcutItem:shortcutItem completionHandler:completionHandler];
}

Android

Configure the Kotlin version in project's build.gradle file.

// eg:
buildscript {
  ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    compileSdkVersion = 32
    targetSdkVersion = 26
    kotlinVersion = "1.6.0"
  }
}

Usage

Documentation

Imports

import Shortcuts from 'rn-quick-actions';
// if using typescript, can also use the 'ShortcutItem' type
import Shortcuts, { ShortcutItem } from 'rn-quick-actions';

Initial shortcut / action

Get the initial shortcut that the app was launched with. On iOS this will be returned just once, subsequent calls will return null.

const shortcutItem = await Shortcuts.getInitialShortcut();

Listen for shortcut / action invocations

Listen to shortcut / action invocations while app is running.

On iOS the listener is also called for the initial invocation, unless it was already received via Shortcuts.getInitialShortcut().

// 1. define the handler
function handler(item) {
  const { type, data } = item;
  // your handling logic
}

// 2. add the listener in a `useEffect` hook or `componentDidMount`
const sub = Shortcuts.onShortcutPressed(handler);

// 3. remove the listener in a `useEffect` hook or `componentWillUnmount`
sub.remove();

Set shortcuts

To set shortcuts (will replace existing dynamic actions / shortcuts)

const shortcutItem = {
  id: 'my.awesome.action',
  title: 'Do awesome things',
  shortTitle: 'Do it',
  subtitle: 'iOS only',
  iconName: 'ic_awesome',
  symbolName: 'house.fill', // SF Symbol Name (iOS only)
  data: {
    foo: 'bar',
  },
};

Shortcuts.setShortcuts([shortcutItem]);

// you can also `await` to get the current dynamic shortcuts / actions
const shortcutItems = await Shortcuts.setShortcuts([shortcutItem]);

Clear shortcuts

Clears all dynamic shortcuts.

Shortcuts.clearShortcuts();

Get shortcuts

Get the current shortcuts. Some information may be lost, such as iconName, data, etc.

const shortcutItems = await Shortcuts.getShortcuts();

Example

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import Shortcuts from 'rn-quick-actions';
import { Scan, Search } from '@/components';

export default function useShortcuts() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const shortcutsItems = [
      {
        type: 'scan',
        title: ' Scan',
        iconName: 'md_scan',
        data: {},
      },
      {
        type: 'search',
        title: 'Search',
        iconName: 'md_search',
        data: {},
      },
    ];

    Shortcuts.setShortcuts(shortcutsItems.reverse());

    const handler = (item) => {
      const { type } = item || {};
      if (type === 'scan') {
        Scan();
      }
      if (type === 'search') {
        Search();
      }
    };

    const sub = Shortcuts.onShortcutPressed(handler);
    return () => {
      sub.remove();
    };
  }, []);
}

Icons

To display icons with your shortcuts / actions you will need to add them to your project. Once added use the name of your iOS asset or Android drawable as the value for iconName above. You can also use SF Symbol Name like house.fill or globe.europe.africa for symbolName above (iOS only). If symbolName is filled, iconName is not taken into account.

iOS - Asset catalog

Add new assets to your Asset catalog by importing either png (scalar) or pdf (vector) files.

Refer Custom Icons : Home Screen Quick Action Icon Size to learn about the dimensions and design specifications.

Android - drawable

Add drawable resources to you Android project. In Android studio, choose:

  • for vector icons (SVG / PDF): File > New > Vector Asset

  • for scalar icons (PNG): File > New > Image Asset

Refer App Shortcuts: Icon design guidelines to learn about the dimensions and design specifications.
