React Native + Matrix Test App

Just experimenting with Matrix on React Native

Setup

React Native Development Environment

This tutorial provided by the React Native team is great. I followed the React Native CLI Quickstart section for Linux and Android.

Setup the Test App

  1. git clone https://github.com/chaoticcapybara/rn-matrix-test-app.git (or use SSH)
  2. yarn install in the top dir of the repo
  3. Create Matrix account
    • The easiest way is to install Element and create an account on the matrix.org homeserver.
  4. Create UserInfo.json
    • find your baseUrl, accessToken and userId. On element:
    Settings -> Help and About -> Advanced -> Home server for baseUrl
Settings -> Help and About -> Advanced -> Reveal Access Token for the access token
Settings -> General for the userId
    • create UserInfo.js in the root of the repo with the following structure
    export default UserInfo = { baseUrl: "https://example.homeserver.com", accessToken: "QRSD12312SFGS568JHZFD9", userId: "@myusername:example.homeserver.com" }
  5. In one terminal: npx react-native start
  6. In another terminal: npx react-native run-android or npx react-native run-ios
    • Personally, I use my phone to test. In which case I do:
      • adb devices to prompt my phone for developer permissions
      • Copy my phones ID from the adb output
      • npx react-native run-android --deviceId=<copied device ID>
