Stytch React Native Expo SDK
Deprecated
This package is deprecated and no longer actively maintained. To continue using the Stytch React Native SDK, please follow the migration guide and use the @stytch/react-native package.
Installation
With npm
npm install @stytch/react-native-expo --save
If you are using the Biometrics product
npm install @stytch/react-native-modules --save
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
If you are using an "ejected" Expo app
npm install @react-native-async-storage/async-storage --save
cd ios && pod install && cd..
Dependencies
The Stytch React Native Expo SDK uses React v17+
The Biometrics product depends on iOS 13+ and Android M+
If you are testing the Biometrics product on an iOS emulator, ensure that the emulator is not running iOS 15. There is a bug in iOS 15 that affects testing biometrics on emulators. It should not effect testing on real devices or production apps.

For full documentation please refer to Stytch's React Native SDK documentation.
Example Usage
Check out our example app here.
Testing
To test your integration of the Stytch React Native SDK, we recommend creating methods that take the StytchClient as a parameter when using the client to begin/complete authentication, and then stubbing the StytchClient when testing those methods.
For example, the following method uses the StytchClient to authenticate a magic link.
export const authenticate = (
token: string,
stytch: StytchClient,
onSuccess: (res: MagicLinksAuthenticateResponse) => void,
onFailure: () => void,
) => {
stytch.magicLinks
.authenticate(token, { session_duration_minutes: 60 })
.then((res) => {
onSuccess(res);
})
.catch((e) => {
onFailure();
});
};
In order to test that this method passes the response into the onSuccess
method, you could write the following test:
import { authenticate } from '../EMLAuthenticateScreen';
const mockStytchClient = {
magicLinks: {
authenticate: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ user_id: 'abc-123' })),
},
};
describe('authenticate', () => {
it('returns data on success', async () => {
let userData;
await authenticate(
'mock_token',
mockStytchClient,
(res) => {
userData = res;
},
() => console.log('success'),
);
expect(userData.user_id).toBe('abc-123');
});
});
The above example asserts that your method handles a successful response as expected. You can use this system in order to test any potential successes (with Promise.resolve
in the mockStytchClient
) or failures (with Promise.reject
in the mockStytchClient
) that you might expect from Stytch.
If you need to exercise component functionality and cannot abstract the logic into it's own function, you can also create mock StytchClients and return them from the useStytch hook like this.
import { useStytch } from '@stytch/react-native-expo';
import { MyComponent } from './MyComponent';
jest.mock('@stytch/react-native-expo', () => ({
useStytch: jest.fn(),
}));
describe('MyComponent', () => {
it('Does something', () => {
const mockStytchClient = {
magicLinks: {
email: {
loginOrCreate: jest.fn(),
},
},
};
useStytch.mockReturnValue(mockStytchClient);
const component = renderer.create(<MyComponent />);
expect(mockStytchClient.magicLinks.email.loginOrCreate).toHaveBeenCalledWith('user@example.com');
});
});
The above example tests that the MyComponent
component calls the StytchClient
method magicLinks.email.loginOrCreate
with a specific input.
Typescript Support
There are built in typescript definitions in the npm package.
