pod 'react-native-networking', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-networking'
then run pod install and you're good to go!

- In
android/setting.gradle
...
include ':RNNetworkingManager', ':app'
project(':RNNetworkingManager').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-networking/android')- In

compile project(':RNNetworkingManager')

Android Limitations
Android currently only supports downloading at the moment.
Usage
In your react-native project, require the module:
var RNNetworkingManager = require('react-native-networking');
var url = 'localhost:3000';
// Example GET request, (download)
RNNetworkingManager.requestFile(url, {
'method':'GET'
}, function(results) {
console.log(results);
});
// Example POST request, (upload)
RNNetworkingManager.requestFile(url, {
'method': 'POST',
'data' : 'pathToYourFileHere'
}, function(results) {
console.log(results);
});The GET request automatically downloads the file to the Documents/ in your app. Similarly, the POST request automatically uploads from Documents/ of your app.
