[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/react-native-device-info.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/react-native-device-info)

Device Information for [React Native](https://github.com/facebook/react-native).

## TOC

* [Linking](#linking)
* [Usage](#usage)
* [API](#api)
* [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
* [Release Notes](#release-notes)
* [react-native-web](#react-native-web)

## Installation

Using npm:

```shell
npm install --save react-native-device-info
```

or using yarn:

```shell
yarn add react-native-device-info
```

> ⚠️ If you are on React Native > 0.47, you must use version 0.11.0 of this library or higher

## Linking

### Automatic

```shell
react-native link react-native-device-info
```

(or using [`rnpm`](https://github.com/rnpm/rnpm) for versions of React Native < 0.27)

```shell
rnpm link react-native-device-info
```

### Manual

<details>
    <summary>iOS (via CocoaPods)</summary>

Add the following line to your build targets in your `Podfile`

`pod 'RNDeviceInfo', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-device-info'`

Then run `pod install`

</details>

<details>
    <summary>iOS (without CocoaPods)</summary>

In XCode, in the project navigator:

* Right click _Libraries_
* Add Files to _[your project's name]_
* Go to `node_modules/react-native-device-info`
* Add the `.xcodeproj` file

In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project.

* Add the `libRNDeviceInfo.a` from the _deviceinfo_ project to your project's _Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries_
* Click `.xcodeproj` file you added before in the project navigator and go the _Build Settings_ tab. Make sure _All_ is toggled on (instead of _Basic_).
* Look for _Header Search Paths_ and make sure it contains both `$(SRCROOT)/../react-native/React` and `$(SRCROOT)/../../React`
* Mark both as recursive (should be OK by default).

Run your project (Cmd+R)

(Thanks to @brysgo for writing the instructions)

<details>
    <summary>Android</summary>

* **_optional_** in `android/build.gradle`:

```gradle
...
  ext {
    // dependency versions
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "<Your play services version>" // default: "+"
    compileSdkVersion = "<Your compile SDK version>" // default: 23
    buildToolsVersion = "<Your build tools version>" // default: "25.0.2"
    targetSdkVersion = "<Your target SDK version>" // default: 22
  }
...
```

* in `android/app/build.gradle`:

```diff
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
+   implementation project(':react-native-device-info')
}
```

* in `android/settings.gradle`:

```diff
...
include ':app'
+ include ':react-native-device-info'
+ project(':react-native-device-info').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-device-info/android')
```

#### With React Native 0.29+

* in `MainApplication.java`:

```diff
+ import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo;

  public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    //......

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+         new RNDeviceInfo(),
          new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }

    ......
  }
```

#### With older versions of React Native:

* in `MainActivity.java`:

```diff
+ import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo;

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    ......

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+       new RNDeviceInfo(),
        new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }
  }
```

NOTE: If you faced with this error: `Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-device-info:debugCompileClasspath'.`, in `build.gradle` put `google()` in the first line (according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/50748249)

* in `android/build.gradle`:

```diff
allprojects {
    repositories {
+       google()
        ...
    }
}
```

<details>
    <summary>Windows</summary>

* Open the solution in Visual Studio for your Windows apps
* right click your in the Explorer and click Add > Existing Project...
* Navigate to `./<app-name>/node_modules/react-native-device-info/windows/RNDeviceInfo` and add `RNDeviceInfo.csproj`
* this time right click on your React Native Windows app under your solutions directory and click Add > Reference...
* check the `RNDeviceInfo` you just added and press ok
* open up `MainReactNativeHost.cs` for your app and edit the file like so:

```diff
+ using RNDeviceInfo;
......
        protected override List<IReactPackage> Packages => new List<IReactPackage>
        {
            new MainReactPackage(),
+           new RNDeviceInfoPackage(),
        };
```

> To be able to get actual battery level enable battery monitoring mode for application.
> Add this code:

```objective-c
[UIDevice currentDevice].batteryMonitoringEnabled = true;
```

> to AppDelegate.m application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
>
> Returns -1 on the iOS Simulator

---

>
> Return the primary shared/external storage directory.
>
> Note: don't be confused by the word "external" here. This directory can better be thought as
> media/shared storage. It is a filesystem that can hold a relatively large amount of data and
> that is shared across all applications (does not enforce permissions). Traditionally this is
> an SD card, but it may also be implemented as built-in storage in a device that is distinct
> from the protected internal storage and can be mounted as a filesystem on a computer.

## Troubleshooting

When installing or using `react-native-device-info`, you may encounter the following problems:

<details>
  <summary>[android] - Unable to merge dex / Multiple dex files / Problems with `com.google.android.gms`</summary>

`react-native-device-info` uses `com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm` to provide [getInstance()][#getinstance].
This can lead to conflicts when building the Android application.

If you're using a different version of `com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm` in your app, you can define the
`googlePlayServicesVersion` gradle variable in your `build.gradle` file to tell `react-native-device-info` what version
it should require.

If you're using a different library that conflicts with `com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm`, you can simply
ignore this dependency in your gradle file:

```
 compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
```

</details>

<details>
  <summary>[ios] - ld: library not found for -lRNDeviceInfo-tvOS</summary>

Seems to be a bug caused by `react-native link`. You can manually delete `libRNDeviceInfo-tvOS.a` in `Xcode -> [Your iOS build target] -> Build Phrases -> Link Binary with Libraries`.

</details>

<details>
  <summary>[tests] - Cannot run my test suite when using this library</summary>

`react-native-device-info` contains native code, and needs to be mocked.

Here's how to do it with jest for example:

```
// in your package.json:
"jest": {
  "setupFiles": [
    "./testenv.js"
  ],


// testenv.js:
jest.mock('react-native-device-info', () => {
  return {
    getModel: jest.fn(),
  };
});
```

</details>

## Release Notes

See the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).

## react-native-web

As a courtesy to developers, this library was made compatible in v0.17.0 with [react-native-web](https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web) by providing an empty polyfill in order to avoid breaking builds.

Only [getUserAgent()](#getuseragent) will return a correct value. All other API methods will return an "empty" value of its documented return type: `0` for numbers, `''` for strings, `false` for booleans.
