React Native

TestFairy for React Native is a bridge to the TestFairy SDK. Integrating the TestFairy SDK into your app enables you to better understand how your app performs on real devices. It tells you when and how people are using your app, and provides you with any metrics you may need to optimize your user experience and code.

Automatic Installation

From your project root, run the following commands:

npm install --save react-native-testfairy

If you're using React Native > 0.60.0, you will need to run the following command in your ios directory

cd ios
pod install

Usage

Once the native library has been added to your project, you can now enable session recording with TestFairy. You will need your app token, which you can get from your preferences page on your TestFairy account.

Next, from your JavaScript file, (index.ios.js, index.android.js or App.js for example), import the TestFairy bridge into your project, and invoke begin passing in the app token. The best time to invoke begin is usually in componentWillMount or right before you register your application.

const TestFairy = require('react-native-testfairy');
...
componentWillMount: function() {
  TestFairy.begin(<insert ios app token here>);
}

And that's it! You can now log into your account and view your sessions. Also, feel free to refer to the documentation for other available APIs.
