RNHighScores is the name of your module that will be used when you add a view to React Native from within your iOS application.

The Magic: RCTRootView #

Now that your React Native component is created via index.ios.js, you need to add that component to a new or existing ViewController. The easiest path is to take is to optionally create an event path to your component and then add that component to an existing ViewController.

We will tie our React Native component with a new native view in the ViewController that will actually host it called RCTRootView .

Create an Event Path #

You can add a new link on the main game menu to go to the "High Score" React Native page.

Event Path

Event Handler #

We will now add an event handler from the menu link. A method will be added to the main ViewController of your application. This is where RCTRootView comes into play.

When you build a React Native application, you use the React Native packager to create an index.ios.bundle that will be served by the React Native server. Inside index.ios.bundle will be our RNHighScore module. So, we need to point our RCTRootView to the location of the index.ios.bundle resource (via NSURL) and tie it to the module.

We will, for debugging purposes, log that the event handler was invoked. Then, we will create a string with the location of our React Native code that exists inside the index.ios.bundle. Finally, we will create the main RCTRootView. Notice how we provide RNHighScores as the moduleName that we created above when writing the code for our React Native component.

First import the RCTRootView library.

#import "RCTRootView.h"

The initialProperties are here for illustration purposes so we have some data for our high score screen. In our React Native component, we will use this.props to get access to that data.

- (IBAction)highScoreButtonPressed:(id)sender { NSLog(@"High Score Button Pressed");
