Contributions Welcome

Thanks to all the amazing contributors for their support.

Made with contrib.rocks.

Getting Started

Install the react-native-haptic-feedback package using npm or yarn:

$ npm install react-native-haptic-feedback --save # or use $ yarn add react-native-haptic-feedback

Linking

ℹ️ Note: Starting from React Native version 0.60, native modules are auto-linked. For more details, refer to the official documentation.

Automatic Linking (React Native 0.60+)

For React Native 0.60 and above, manual linking is generally unnecessary. Auto-linking handles the process automatically.

Manual Linking

If you're using an older React Native version or face issues with auto-linking, follow these manual linking steps:

1. Link the module:

   $ react-native link react-native-haptic-feedback

2. For iOS, navigate to the iOS directory and install CocoaPods dependencies:

   $ cd ios && pod install

   If you encounter issues with the previous step on iOS, clean up and reinstall the dependencies using these commands:

   $ rm -rf ios/Pods && rm -rf ios/build && cd ios && pod install && cd ../
   $ rm -rf node_modules && rm yarn.lock
   $ yarn install   # or use $ npm install

Manual Setup Guide - Android

1. Configure MainApplication.java: Open android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java.

   • Add the following import at the top of the file:

     import com.mkuczera.RNReactNativeHapticFeedbackPackage;

   • Inside the getPackages() method, add the instance of RNReactNativeHapticFeedbackPackage() to the list returned by the method:

     @Override
     protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
       return Arrays.asList(
           // ... other packages
           new RNReactNativeHapticFeedbackPackage()
       );
     }

2. Modify settings.gradle: Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-haptic-feedback'
   project(':react-native-haptic-feedback').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-haptic-feedback/android')

Usage

To use the library, import it in your JavaScript file:

import ReactNativeHapticFeedback from "react-native-haptic-feedback";

// Optional configuration
const options = {
  enableVibrateFallback: true,
  ignoreAndroidSystemSettings: false,
};

// Trigger haptic feedback
ReactNativeHapticFeedback.trigger("impactLight", options);

Alternatively, you can use the named import:

import { trigger } from "react-native-haptic-feedback";

// Optional configuration
const options = {
  enableVibrateFallback: true,
  ignoreAndroidSystemSettings: false,
};

// Trigger haptic feedback
trigger("impactLight", options);

Available Methods

trigger(method, options)

Use this method to trigger haptic feedback.

Argument	Description
method	Specifies the type of haptic feedback. See the list of available methods below.
options.enableVibrateFallback	📱 iOS only. If haptic feedback is unavailable (iOS < 10 OR Device < iPhone6s), vibrate with default method (heavy 1s) (default: false).
options.ignoreAndroidSystemSettings	:android: Android only. If haptic is disabled in the Android system settings, this allows ignoring the setting and triggering haptic feedback. (default: false).

Available Methods (Version 1.6.0 and Prior)

If you're using version 1.6.0 or earlier, you can use this method:

import ReactNativeHapticFeedback from "react-native-haptic-feedback";

// Trigger haptic feedback with vibrate fallback
ReactNativeHapticFeedback.trigger("method", enableVibrateFallback);

Where method can be one of: "selection", "impactLight", "impactMedium", "impactHeavy", "notificationSuccess", "notificationWarning", or "notificationError". The enableVibrateFallback option is for iOS devices without haptic feedback support.

We recommend using the newer approach for enhanced flexibility and improved compatibility.
