Package Exports

react-native-inappbrowser-reborn

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-native-inappbrowser-reborn) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Authentication Flow using Deep Linking

utilities.js

import { Platform } from 'react-native'
export const getDeepLink = (path = "") => {
  const scheme = 'my-scheme'
  const prefix = Platform.OS == 'android' ? `${scheme}://my-host/` : `${scheme}://`
  return prefix + path
}

App.js (Using react-navigation with Deep Linking)

import { Root } from 'native-base'
import { getDeepLink } from './utilities'
import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation'

const Main = createStackNavigator(
  {
    LoginComponent: { screen: LoginComponent },
    HomeComponent: { screen: HomeComponent },
    SplashComponent: { //Redirect users to the Home page if they are authenticated, otherwise to Login page...
      screen: SplashComponent,
      path: 'callback/' //Deep linking to get the auth_token
    }
  },
  {
    index: 0,
    initialRouteName: 'SplashComponent',
    headerMode: 'none'
  }
)
...
  render() {
    return (
      <Root>
        <Main uriPrefix={getDeepLink()} />
      </Root>
    )
  }
...

LoginComponent

import { Linking } from 'react-native'
import InAppBrowser from 'react-native-inappbrowser-reborn'
import { getDeepLink } from './utilities'
...
  async onLogin() {
    const deepLink = getDeepLink("callback")
    const url = `https://my-auth-login-page.com?redirect_uri=${deepLink}`
    try {
      if (await InAppBrowser.isAvailable()) {
        InAppBrowser.openAuth(url, deepLink, {
          // iOS Properties
          dismissButtonStyle: 'cancel',
          // Android Properties
          showTitle: false,
          enableUrlBarHiding: true,
          enableDefaultShare: true,
        }).then((response) => {
          if (response.type === 'success' &&
            response.url) {
            Linking.openURL(response.url)
          }
        })
      } else Linking.openURL(url)
    } catch (error) {
      Linking.openURL(url)
    }
  }
...

SplashComponent

...
  componentWillMount() {
    const { navigation } = this.props
    const { state: { params } } = navigation
    const { access_token } = params || {}

    if (access_token) {
      // Opened by deep linking, the user is authenticated
      // Redirect to the Home page
    }
    else {
      // Detect if the stored token is still valid
      // And redirect the user to Home or Login page
    }
  }
...

StatusBar

The StatusBar will keep the last one provided in your app. So if the StatusBar is dark-content before you open the browser this will keep it. If you want to change before opening you can do something like

  async openInBrowser(url) {
    try {
      StatusBar.setBarStyle('dark-content')
      await InAppBrowser.open(url)
    } catch (error) {
      Alert.alert(error.message)
    }
  })

If you need to restore the old bar style, after the browser is dismissed, you can try and patch the StatusBar.setBarStyle function to store the old value like so:

// patch StatusBar.setBarStyle to make style accessible
const _setBarStyle = StatusBar.setBarStyle
StatusBar.setBarStyle = (style) => {
  StatusBar.currentStyle = style
  _setBarStyle(style)
}

You can than restore the old bar style after the browser has been dismissed like this:

  async openInBrowser(url) {
    try {
      const oldStyle = StatusBar.currentStyle
      StatusBar.setBarStyle('dark-content')
      await InAppBrowser.open(url)
      if(oldStyle) StatusBar.setBarStyle(oldStyle)
    } catch (error) {
      Alert.alert(error.message)
    }
  })
