## Background
This is a small wrapper that allows you to initiate a phone call in React Native.
### Running on iOS simulator
When running on the iOS simulator, you will get a `the URL is invalid` error. This will work on an actual device. **The iOS simulator does not have access to the dialer app.**.
### Running on Android SDK 30+
Android SDK 30 introduced changes around how apps can query and interact with other apps. This means `Linking.canOpenURL` returns false for all links unless a `` element is added to `AndroidManifest.xml`. Adding the following intent to `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml` should resolve the issue:
```groovy
```
### Limitations
This module only provides a simple wrapper around the Linking API and is thus limited in the functionality it can provide. If you are looking for additional functionality, such as being able to initiate a phone call without user confirmation, please use other packages like [react-native-immediate-phone-call](https://github.com/wumke/react-native-immediate-phone-call).
## Install
Install the package locally within you project folder with your package manager:
With `npm`:
```sh
npm install react-native-phone-call
```
With `yarn`:
```sh
yarn add react-native-phone-call
```
## Usage
To use the module, call the function with an object containing the number to call as a argument.
```js
import call from 'react-native-phone-call'
const args = {
number: '9093900003', // String value with the number to call
prompt: false, // Optional boolean property. Determines if the user should be prompted prior to the call
skipCanOpen: true // Skip the canOpenURL check
}
call(args).catch(console.error)
```
### Example with phone and extension.
Use commas to add time between pressing different digits. (ex. dial a number and wait to be connected and menu to start being read. Press a number for an extension. Even wait longer for another menus and press another number for another extension.)
```js
const args = {
number: '9093900003,,,3,,,274', // Use commas to add time between digits.
prompt: false
}
call(args).catch(console.error)
```
## API
For all configuration options, please see the [API docs](https://paka.dev/npm/react-native-phone-call).
