react-native-jitsi-meet-extended

Jitsi Meet wrapper for react-native. This package was made as the react-native-jitsi-meet is kind of outdated and no one is releasing any new version of it with new jitsi meet sdk

Installation

npm install react-native-jitsi-meet-extended

or

yarn add react-native-jitsi-meet-extended

Note

At the moment this package only works with Android as I don't own a Mac to develop and test it for IOS, Hope to see some community support for developing it and also one of my friend will soon start looking into the IOS part. Also, there may be some bugs and issues in the java code, it would be great if some super devs from the community can verify and correct them :) + there are issues with TS as I'm not that much into typescript.

Android setup

important

There seems to be an issue with latest react-native version 0.64 with jitsi sdk, as buttons are unresponsive and other bugs, so until the issue is sorted out it is advised to use the 0.63

  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "android": "react-native run-android",
    "ios": "react-native run-ios",
    "start": "react-native start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-native": "0.63.4" <-- this line
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.10",

  }
}

1. In android/build.gradle, add the following code

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
         maven { // <---- Add this block
            url "https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-maven-repository/raw/master/releases"
        }
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
    }
}

2. Set minimum SDK level to 24

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 24 // <-- this line
        compileSdkVersion = 29
        targetSdkVersion = 29
        ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

3. Remove allow back up from Androidmanifest.xml

Checking on how this can be fixed but for now, remove it from xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.sdktest">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
      android:name=".MainApplication"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:allowBackup="false" <-- this line
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
      </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Usage

The package can be invoked in two modes

1. As an intent from react-native app
2. As a view that can be embedded inside the react-native app

⁍ ‣ Invoking it as native activity (Eg)

For checking props that can be passed, please check the section after example section

import * as React from 'react';

import { StyleSheet, View, Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { JitsiMeetExtended, JitsiMeetView } from 'react-native-jitsi-meet-extended';

export default function App() {

  const runActivity = () => {
    const options = {
      roomId: "cowboybtr125d44d5",
      userInfo: {
        displayName: "APJ"
       }
     }

    JitsiMeetExtended.activityMode(options)
  }

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
     
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={runActivity} style={styles.button}>
        <Text>Start meet activity</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 0.9,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  button: {
    borderRadius: 10,
    width: 250,
    height: 50,
    padding:10,
    margin:10,
    borderWidth:2,
    borderColor: "gray",
    justifyContent:"center",
    alignItems:"center",
  }
});

This will start Jitsi meet on top of your application.

⁍ ‣ Starting as a view inside react-native (Eg)

For checking props that can be passed, please check the section after example section

import * as React from 'react';

import { StyleSheet, View, Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { JitsiMeetExtended, JitsiMeetView } from 'react-native-jitsi-meet-extended';

export default function App() {

  const [showMeet, setShowMeet] = React.useState<Boolean>(false);


  function conferenceTerminated(nativeEvent: any) {
    console.log(nativeEvent)
  }

 const runMeet = () => {
    setShowMeet(true);
  }

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
     
    {showMeet && (
        <JitsiMeetView
          style={{
            flex: 10,
            height: '100%',
            width: '100%',
          }}
          options={{
            roomId: "randomfox895678dc5d6",
            chatEnabled: false,
            inviteEnabled: false,
            meetingNameEnabled: false,
            userInfo: {
              displayName: "Nikola Tesla"
            }
          }}
        
          onConferenceTerminated={(e: any) => conferenceTerminated(e)}
        />
      )}

      <TouchableOpacity onPress={runMeet} style={styles.button}>
        <Text>Start meet as view inside app</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 0.9,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  button: {
    borderRadius: 10,
    width: 250,
    height: 50,
    padding:10,
    margin:10,
    borderWidth:2,
    borderColor: "gray",
    justifyContent:"center",
    alignItems:"center",
  }
});

This will start Jitsi meet as a view inside react-native.
