How to create a user with Pusher on React Native? - react-native

I try to follow official document https://pusher.com/tutorials/chat-app-react-native-gifted-chat and it works.
But when I want to set a create user function , I can't find the code from React Native.
I just find it with Node.js https://docs.pusher.com/chatkit/reference/server-node#creating-a-user and with Javascript https://docs.pusher.com/chatkit/quick_start/javascript#create-a-user
If i use Javascript document, it will show error https://docs.pusher.com/chatkit/quick_start/javascript#create-a-user
import Chatkit from "#pusher/chatkit";
const chatkit = new Chatkit.default({
instanceLocator: CHATKIT_TOKEN_PROVIDER_ENDPOINT,
key: CHATKIT_SECRET_KEY
})
There is no default can be used obviously.
Is any way to do it on the mobile application or I must have a backend to do it ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Currently you can create users in one of three ways:
Using your Chatkit dashboard's console
From your server code using one of the server SDKs
Using the HTTP API directly
As you'll notice from that list, you can't create a user from the client.

React Native `Formdata` is not able to send data to backend due to {_parts}

i don't know why in react native formData use to send data in {_parts} and that gives response for data field as this field is required with 400 error...
in backend it not able to receive in {_parts}
have anyone go through this issue please let me know I am stuck in this since 1week.. but working fine in web application using formData it simply goes like the given image
It works like that so its normal
React Native Form Data is used to send form data which also includes files so when using with FormData, set header 'Content-Type':'multipart/formdata' and i think you backend should understand this.
Refer the link below which is article to how send data in react native which also has backend code in Node and Express.

Using <input type=file> in react native

Is there anywhere i can use a similar function like the in react native to upload image and take picture? I need to push this function via code-push, if i'm using library like react-native-image-picker, i can't push it via code-push. Or is there any pure js library can achieve this?
This is not possible as the code you'd need to achieve what you want requires access to native APIs (read/write storage, camera, etc.). You will therefore need to push an actual update through the App Store and Google Play.

How to read data in background in React Native

I have an app in React Native, that uses the bluetooth connection to read data from external devices.
I need a way to continue to read this data in background when, for example, the user starts a reading session and put the app in background.
What should I use to do this?
My code is divided in two parts:
Scan and Connect
Reading Data from external devices.
You need a background service for this. The following link for Android will help you.
github => react-native-foreground-service
If you want, you can do it yourself as described on the RN official site. But you'll have to write Java code for it.
React Native => Native Module

How to read SMS messages in react native?

I have a react native app that uses SMS verification and I want to have a listener for incoming SMSs to read the code automatically.
I've used react-native-android-sms-listener but it doesn't work for Android 8 and above. Can anyone help?
you can use react-native-sms-retriever instead it supports for all versions
or else you can use react-native-get-sms-android to get all the user message in JSON and extract the data out of it.

How to load Google Places API in React Native?

I am trying to use the Google Places API in react native. I first tried using fetch to make requests directly, but I just saw that you have to use the existing classes/objects provided by Google, like the PlacesService. Searching for React Native libraries that include the API objects for you just brings up some that do the autocomplete feature and not much else.
The Places API docs say to load the library using this url: <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places"></script>
This is straightforward to me in regular web dev, but not in react native. What is the standard procedure for loading a library like this in React Native?
Right now I have copy and pasted the JS contents from the link above into a file in my React Native project. But, I don't even know how to export it as I can't really tell what the name of the object/function is. google ? google.maps ?
Right now I am doing:
export default google.maps
and also tried
export default google
but these both throw this error:
cannot read property 'createElement' of undefined
This is my first React Native project, so I'm sorry if this is a basic question.
Thanks for the help.
but I just saw that you have to use the existing classes/objects provided by Google
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Places api can be done via fetch/api request. Look at how react-native-google-places does it at https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-google-places-autocomplete/blob/master/GooglePlacesAutocomplete.js#L227
They use a new XMLHttpRequest(); but fetch() would work as well. It is web api and I don't think you need to run any external javascript/load any external js files.
