GETTING_STARTED

Getting Started​

Add your Platform​

If this is your first time using Appwrite, create an account and create your first project.

Then, under Add a platform, add a Android app or a Apple app. You can skip optional steps.

iOS steps​

Add your app name and Bundle ID. You can find your Bundle Identifier in the General tab for your app's primary target in XCode. For Expo projects you can set or find it on app.json file at your project's root directory.

Android steps​

Add your app's name and package name, Your package name is generally the applicationId in your app-level build.gradle file. For Expo projects you can set or find it on app.json file at your project's root directory.

Setup​

On index.js add import for react-native-url-polyfill

import 'react-native-url-polyfill/auto'

If you are building for iOS, don't forget to install pods cd ios && pod install && cd ..

Init your SDK​

Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID which can be found in your project settings page.

import { Client } from 'react-native-appwrite';
// Init your React Native SDK
const client = new Client();

client
    .setEndpoint('http://localhost/v1') // Your Appwrite Endpoint
    .setProject('455x34dfkj') // Your project ID
    .setPlatform('com.example.myappwriteapp') // Your application ID or bundle ID.
;

Make Your First Request​

Once your SDK object is set, access any of the Appwrite services and choose any request to send. Full documentation for any service method you would like to use can be found in your SDK documentation or in the API References section.

const account = new Account(client);

// Register User
account.create(ID.unique(), 'me@example.com', 'password', 'Jane Doe')
    .then(function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    }, function (error) {
        console.log(error);
    });

Full Example​

import { Client, Account } from 'react-native-appwrite';

    .setPlatform('com.example.myappwriteapp') // YOUR application ID
;

const account = new Account(client);

// Register User
account.create(ID.unique(), 'me@example.com', 'password', 'Jane Doe')
    .then(function (response) {
