React Native Unique Identifier

Overview

The rn-unique-identifier npm package is designed to provide a simple and effective solution for generating unique and persistent identifiers in React Native applications. The identifier generated by this package remains consistent across uninstallation and reinstallation of the same application on both Android and iOS platforms.

Features

Cross-Platform Support: Works seamlessly on both Android and iOS platforms. Unique and Persistent: Generates identifiers that persist across application uninstallations and reinstalls. Simple Integration: Easily integrate the package by importing UniqueIdentifier and calling getPersistentIdentifier().

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install rn-unique-identifier

Usage

Import the module in your React Native application and use it to obtain the persistent identifier:

Example App.jsx(javascript)

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import UniqueIdentifier from 'rn-unique-identifier';

const App = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    const identifier = UniqueIdentifier.getPersistentIdentifier();
    console.log('Persistent Identifier:', identifier);
  }, []);

  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Check the console for the Persistent Identifier.</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

export default App;

Note for Android

While running the gradlew(creating the build) use this first:
./gradlew generateCodegenArtifactsFromSchema

Note for iOS

While installing pods use this command:
RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 pod install
