Usage

Importing the Package

import {
  requestMessagePermission,
  getAllMessages,
  getIncomingMessages,
  getOutgoingMessages,
} from 'rn-awesome-sms';

For Checking READ_SMS Permission and SMS History

Use the following example to check for SMS permissions and retrieve SMS history:

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { PermissionsAndroid, Alert } from 'react-native';
import {
  getAllMessages,
  getIncomingMessages,
  getOutgoingMessages,
} from 'rn-awesome-sms';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [permissionsGranted, setPermissionsGranted] = useState(false);
  const [allMessages, setAllMessages] = useState([]);
  const [receivedMessages, setReceivedMessages] = useState([]);
  const [sentMessages, setSentMessages] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const requestSmsPermission = async () => {
      try {
        const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
          PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_SMS
        );

        if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
          setPermissionsGranted(true);
          getAllMessages().then(setAllMessages);
          getIncomingMessages().then(setReceivedMessages);
          getOutgoingMessages().then(setSentMessages);
        } else {
          setPermissionsGranted(false);
          Alert.alert('Permission Denied', 'SMS permission is required to retrieve messages.');
        }
      } catch (err) {
        console.warn(err);
      }
    };

    requestSmsPermission();
  }, []);

  return (
    // Your component JSX
  );
};

Subscribing to Incoming SMS

The following example shows how to subscribe to incoming SMS messages:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { PermissionsAndroid, DeviceEventEmitter, Alert } from 'react-native';
import { requestMessagePermission } from 'rn-awesome-sms';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [permissionsGranted, setPermissionsGranted] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    const requestSmsPermission = async () => {
      try {
        const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
          PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECEIVE_SMS
        );

        if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
          setPermissionsGranted(true);
        } else {
          setPermissionsGranted(false);
        }
      } catch (err) {
        console.warn(err);
      }
    };

    requestSmsPermission();
  }, []);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (permissionsGranted) {
      const subscriber = DeviceEventEmitter.addListener(
        'onSMSReceived',
        (message) => {
          const { messageBody, senderPhoneNumber } = message;
          Alert.alert(
            'SMS received',
            `Message Body: ${messageBody} \nSender Number: ${senderPhoneNumber}`
          );
        }
      );

      return () => {
        subscriber.remove();
      };
    }
  }, [permissionsGranted]);

  return (
    // Your component JSX
  );
};
