Import React Native Library in Pluggable Widget

2
How to import/link an external react native library in a pluggable widget project? React Native BLE Manager is a Bluetooth communication library. This library provides functions to scan Bluetooth devices like this: BleManager.scan([], 5, true) .then(() => { // Success code console.log('Scan started'); }); I want to link this into my project and create a Bluetooth manager widget for Mendix Native Apps. Any suggestions on how can I build a Mendix widget on top of it?  I also tried looking for an existing Bluetooth widget for Native Apps, but couldn’t find any.

Hi Umar,

Did you ever figure out how to add an external react native library to your pluggable widget?

Consider using javascript actions and take a look the nanoflow commons library

In a pluggable widget, you simply npm install the module you need. If you’re building a widget for a native app, and that library requires native code too, you’ll also need to install the module into a custom dev app.

In a JavaScript action, you can follow this guidance which suggests you include the code in the theme directory of your project. You can also copy the library into the /javascriptactions/mymodule/ folder of your project and import it from there.
