# react-native-http-bridge

Simple HTTP server for [React Native](https://github.com/facebook/react-native).

Created for [Status.im](https://github.com/status-im/status-react). 

Since 0.5.0 supports and handles GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests.

The library can be useful for handling requests with `application/json` content type

(and this is the only content type we support at the current stage) and returning different responses.

Since 0.6.0 can handle millions of requests at the same time and also includes some very basic support for [React Native QT](https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop). 

## Install

```shell

npm install --save react-native-http-bridge

```

## Automatically link

#### With React Native 0.27+

```shell

react-native link react-native-http-bridge

```

## Example

First import/require react-native-http-server:

```js

    var httpBridge = require('react-native-http-bridge');

```

Initalize the server in the `componentWillMount` lifecycle method. You need to provide a `port` and a callback.

```js

    componentWillMount() {

      // initalize the server (now accessible via localhost:1234)

      httpBridge.start(5561, 'http_service' request => {

          // you can use request.url, request.type and request.postData here

          if (request.type === "GET" && request.url.split("/")[1] === "users") {

            httpBridge.respond(request.requestId, 200, "application/json", "{\"message\": \"OK\"}");

          } else {

            httpBridge.respond(request.requestId, 400, "application/json", "{\"message\": \"Bad Request\"}");

          }

      });

    }

```

Finally, ensure that you disable the server when your component is being unmounted.

```js

  componentWillUnmount() {

    httpBridge.stop();

  }

```
