Integrating slang buddy on to your react-native app

Prerequisites

Before starting with integrating slang with your react-native app, you must create a slang buddy in our console and configure it.

Slang console - https://console.slanglabs.in/home Slang console guide - https://docs.slanglabs.in/slang/developer-guide/slang-developer-guide

Usage

In your App.js or equivalent file , initialize the slang trigger with the following

import { Slang } from 'react-native-slang';

// Initialize slang
Slang.initialize(
      "<your buddy id>", 
      "<your api key>", 
      { 
        "locale": "LOCALE_ENGLISH_IN", // Other possible values: LOCALE_HINDI_IN, LOCALE_ENGLISH_US
        "position": "CENTER_BOTTOM", // Other possible values: LEFT_TOP, CENTER_TOP, RIGHT_TOP, CENTER, LEFT_BOTTOM, RIGHT_BOTTOM etc. 
      }, 
      () => { console.log("Slang initialized successfully") });

// Listen to slang intent actions. 
Slang.setIntentActionListener((action) => {
  console.log(action);
  Slang.notifyActionCompleted(true);
});
