react-pwa-installer-ios

This simple utils React component allows you to easily display a POPUP for your iOS users, informing that they can install your awesome Progressive web app on their phone.

This component integrate the following logic:

• The popup prompts only on iOS devices (iphones, ipads)
• The popup shows only if the app is not running in standalone mode (this means user already installed the PWA)
• When the user clicks anywhere, the popup is closed
• Once the popup is closed Pop up won't open up for the next 10 days (timestamp is stored in localstorage.)

Example on IPHONE device:

Example on IPAD device: The popup prompts on the top right hand corner to match the 'share button' position:

getting started

npm install -s react-pwa-install-ios
or
yarn add react-pwa-install-ios

Then in your app:

import PwaInstallPopupIOS from 'react-pwa-install-ios';

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <PwaInstallPopupIOS 
      delay={3}
      lang="en"
      appIcon="https://my/icon/url.png">
    </PwaInstallPopupIOS>
  );
};

You can also setup your own content for the pop up:

  <PwaInstallPopupIOS>
    <div 
      delay={0}
      style={{
        padding: '15px 30px',
        backgroundColor: 'blue',
        color: 'white',
        textAlign: 'center',
      }}

      Hey ! I am the PwaInstallPopupIOS component.
      without the 'force=true' props, I will display only on iOS device,
      not in standalone mode.
