React Native Shake Event Detector

If you like this, please consider...

Thank you!

With this library, you can add shake event detector on your React Native app. Because react-native-shake-event is not in active development anymore, I decided to created this.

Please note that it only works on real devices

Installation

npm install react-native-shake

or

yarn add react-native-shake

Linking the native modules

Automatic:

From React Native 0.60, you don't have to manually link libraries anymore. Just

cd ios
pod update

and you're good to go.

Manual (iOS):

Follow this guide

Usage

For 5.x.x and higher:

import React from 'react';

export const MyComponent = () => {
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const subscription = RNShake.addListener(() => {
      // Your code here...
    });

    return () => {
      // Your code here...
      subscription.remove();
    };
  }, []);
};

and for older versions:

import RNShake from 'react-native-shake';

// For v3.x.x and below:
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    RNShake.addEventListener('ShakeEvent', () => {
      // Your code...
    });
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    RNShake.removeEventListener('ShakeEvent');
  }
}

// For v4.x.x onwards:
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    RNShake.addListener(() => {
      // Your code...
    });
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    RNShake.removeListener();
  }
}
