API Usage theta-client

Hi arturkesik, craig

After multiple tries I’m able to start project

I generated package from theta-client/react-native

Here is the content
theta-client/react-native/package content

theta-client-react-native installation

I tried a lot of commands to add package with yarn as mentionned by arturkesik

Projects are located at

  • C:/Users/MyName/Documents/projects/theta-client (theta repo)
  • C:/Users/MyName/Documents/projects/react-using-ricoh

Here is commands tried

  • yarn add file:C:/Users/MyName/Documents/projects/theta-client/react-native/package

After I used yarn install

I got the package in my node_modules

node_modules/theta-client-react-native

Build project

I tried npx expo start and got error

Command result

In my project I have a file which need to import theta package so I used this import

  • import { initialize } from 'theta-client-react-native';

VS Code shows me Cannot find module 'theta-client-react-native' or its corresponding type declarations. ts(2307)

After some research

I need to use npx expo run:android instead of npx expo start but some project modification should be made.

  • Execute npx expo run:android to initialize /android folder at the root project (error will apear)
  • Update minSdkVersion to 26 in android/app/build.gradle
  • Now I should always use npx expo run:android to build project (for Android)

I can now build and use SDK

Thank you arturkesik, craig !
