React Native Health Connect

---

This library is a wrapper around Health Connect for react native. Health Connect is an Android API and platform. It unifies data from multiple devices and apps into an ecosystem. For Android developers, it provides a single interface for reading and writing a user’s health and fitness data. For Android users, it offers a place for control over which apps have read and/or write access to different types of data. Health Connect also provides on-device storage. Read more here.

Requirements

• Health Connect needs to be installed on the user's device, However the goal is to have this app preinstalled on Android devices in the future.
• Health Connect API requires mindSdkVersion=26 (Android Oreo / 8.0).

Installation

Install react-native-health-connect by running:

yarn add react-native-health-connect@latest

Since this module is Android-only, you do not need to run pod install.

Example

A quick example at a glance:

import {
  initialize,
  requestPermission,
  readRecords,
} from 'react-native-health-connect';

const readSampleData = async () => {
  // initialize the client
  const isInitialized = await initialize();

  // request permissions
  const grantedPermissions = await requestPermission([
    { accessType: 'read', recordType: 'ActiveCaloriesBurned' },
  ]);

  // check if granted

  const result = await readRecords('ActiveCaloriesBurned', {
    timeRangeFilter: {
      operator: 'between',
      startTime: '2023-01-09T12:00:00.405Z',
      endTime: '2023-01-09T23:53:15.405Z',
    },
  });
  // {
  //   result: [
  //     {
  //       startTime: '2023-01-09T12:00:00.405Z',
  //       endTime: '2023-01-09T23:53:15.405Z',
  //       energy: {
  //         inCalories: 15000000,
  //         inJoules: 62760000.00989097,
  //         inKilojoules: 62760.00000989097,
  //         inKilocalories: 15000,
  //       },
  //       metadata: {
  //         id: '239a8cfd-990d-42fc-bffc-c494b829e8e1',
  //         lastModifiedTime: '2023-01-17T21:06:23.335Z',
  //         clientRecordId: null,
  //         dataOrigin: 'com.healthconnectexample',
  //         clientRecordVersion: 0,
  //         device: 0,
  //       },
  //     },
  //   ],
  // }
};
