Maybe you want to reuse some existing Objective-C, Swift or C++ code without having to reimplement it in JavaScript, or write some high performance, multi-threaded code such as for image processing, a database, or any number of advanced extensions.</p><p>We designed React Native such that it is possible for you to write real native code and have access to the full power of the platform. This is a more advanced feature and we don't expect it to be part of the usual development process, however it is essential that it exists. If React Native doesn't support a native feature that you need, you should be able to build it yourself.</p><p>This is a more advanced guide that shows how to build a native module. It assumes the reader knows Objective-C or Swift and core libraries (Foundation, UIKit).</p><h2><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="anchor enhancedAnchor_3pqN" id="native-module-setup"></a>Native Module Setup<a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="hash-link" href="#native-module-setup" title="Direct link to heading">#</a></h2><p>Native modules are usually distributed as npm packages, except that for them to be native modules they will contain an Xcode library project. To get the basic scaffolding make sure to read <a href="/docs/next/native-modules-setup">Native Modules Setup</a> guide first.</p><h2><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="anchor enhancedAnchor_3pqN" id="ios-calendar-module-example"></a>iOS Calendar Module Example<a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="hash-link" href="#ios-calendar-module-example" title="Direct link to heading">#</a></h2><p>This guide will use the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/DataManagement/Conceptual/EventKitProgGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iOS Calendar API</a> example. Let's say we would like to be able to access the iOS calendar from JavaScript.</p><p>A native module is an Objective-C class that implements the <code>RCTBridgeModule</code> protocol. If you are wondering, RCT is an abbreviation of ReaCT.</p><div class="mdxCodeBlock_xYIz"><div class="codeBlockContent_rlEb"><button tabindex="0" type="button" aria-label="Copy code to clipboard" class="copyButton_kOW4">Copy</button><div class="prism-code language-objectivec codeBlock_1AP7"><div class="codeBlockLines_1boI" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token comment" style="color:#93a1a1">// CalendarManager.h</span><span class="token plain"></span></div><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token plain"></span><span class="token macro property" style="color:#2aa198">#</span><span class="token macro property directive keyword" style="color:#c5a5c5">import</span><span class="token macro property" style="color:#2aa198"> <React/RCTBridgeModule.h></span><span class="token plain"></span></div><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token plain" style="display:inline-block">

React Native also defines a macro called <code>RCT_REMAP_METHOD()</code> to specify the JavaScript method's name. This is useful when multiple native methods are the same up to the first colon and would have conflicting JavaScript names.</p></blockquote><p>The CalendarManager module is instantiated on the Objective-C side using a [CalendarManager new] call. The return type of bridge methods is always <code>void</code>. React Native bridge is asynchronous, so the only way to pass a result to JavaScript is by using callbacks or emitting events (see below).</p><h2><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="anchor enhancedAnchor_3pqN" id="argument-types"></a>Argument Types<a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="hash-link" href="#argument-types" title="Direct link to heading">#</a></h2><p><code>RCT_EXPORT_METHOD</code> supports all standard JSON object types, such as:</p><ul><li>string (<code>NSString</code>)</li><li>number (<code>NSInteger</code>, <code>float</code>, <code>double</code>, <code>CGFloat</code>, <code>NSNumber</code>)</li><li>boolean (<code>BOOL</code>, <code>NSNumber</code>)</li><li>array (<code>NSArray</code>) of any types from this list</li><li>object (<code>NSDictionary</code>) with string keys and values of any type from this list</li><li>function (<code>RCTResponseSenderBlock</code>)</li></ul><p>But it also works with any type that is supported by the <code>RCTConvert</code> class (see <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React/Base/RCTConvert.h" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>RCTConvert</code></a> for details). The <code>RCTConvert</code> helper functions all accept a JSON value as input and map it to a native Objective-C type or class.</p><p>In our <code>CalendarManager</code> example, we need to pass the event date to the native method. We can't send JavaScript Date objects over the bridge, so we need to convert the date to a string or number.

For arrays, <code>RCTConvert</code> provides some typed collections you can use in your method declaration, such as <code>NSStringArray</code>, or <code>UIColorArray</code>.

It's okay to store the callback and invoke it later.

If the callback is never invoked, some memory is leaked. If both <code>onSuccess</code> and <code>onFail</code> callbacks are passed, you should only invoke one of them.</p><p>If you want to pass error-like objects to JavaScript, use <code>RCTMakeError</code> from <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React/Base/RCTUtils.h" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>RCTUtils.h</code></a>.

The <code>- (dispatch_queue_t)methodQueue</code> method allows the native module to specify which queue its methods should be run on. For example, if it needs to use a main-thread-only iOS API, it should specify this via:</p><div class="mdxCodeBlock_xYIz"><div class="codeBlockContent_rlEb"><button tabindex="0" type="button" aria-label="Copy code to clipboard" class="copyButton_kOW4">Copy</button><div class="prism-code language-objectivec codeBlock_1AP7"><div class="codeBlockLines_1boI" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token operator" style="color:#fc929e">-</span><span class="token plain"> </span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">(</span><span class="token plain">dispatch_queue_t</span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">)</span><span class="token plain">methodQueue</span></div><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token plain"></span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">{</span><span class="token plain"></span></div><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token plain"> </span><span class="token keyword" style="color:#c5a5c5">return</span><span class="token plain"> </span><span class="token function" style="color:#79b6f2">dispatch_get_main_queue</span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">(</span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">)</span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">;</span><span class="token plain"></span></div><div class="token-line" style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#282C34"><span class="token plain"></span><span class="token punctuation" style="color:#657b83">}</span></div></div></div></div></div><p>Similarly, if an operation may take a long time to complete, the native module should not block and can specify it's own queue to run operations on.

In order for the Xcode project to build when you use Swift in the iOS static library you include in the module, your main app project must contain Swift code and a bridging header itself. If your app project does not contain any Swift code, a workaround can be a single empty .swift file and an empty bridging header.</p></blockquote><h2><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="anchor enhancedAnchor_3pqN" id="reserved-method-names"></a>Reserved Method Names<a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="hash-link" href="#reserved-method-names" title="Direct link to heading">#</a></h2><h3><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="anchor enhancedAnchor_3pqN" id="invalidate"></a>invalidate()<a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="hash-link" href="#invalidate" title="Direct link to heading">#</a></h3><p>Native modules can conform to the <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React/Base/RCTInvalidating.h" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RCTInvalidating</a> protocol on iOS by implementing the <code>invalidate</code> method.
