A library that unifies both android and iOS chromecast sdk
$ npm install react-native-google-cast --save
$ react-native link react-native-google-cast
- This library requires Cocoapods to manage Chromecast SDK.
- Add
pod 'google-cast-sdk'to your Podfile. This is the easier way to have the SDK up to date.
// Require the moduleimportChromecastfrom'react-native-google-cast';// Init Chromecast SDK and starts looking for devicesChromecast.startScan();// Does what the method says. It saves resources, use it when leaving your current viewChromecast.stopScan();// Returns a boolean with the resultChromecast.isConnected();// Return an array of devices' names and idsChromecast.getDevices();// Gets the device id, and connects to it. If it is successful, will send a broadcastChromecast.connectToDevice(DEVICE_ID);// Closes the connection to the current ChromecastChromecast.disconnect();// Streams the media to the connected chromecast. Time parameter let you choose// in which time frame the media should start streamingChromecast.castMedia(MEDIA_URL,MEDIA_TITLE,MEDIA_IMAGE,TIME_IN_SECONDS);// Move the streaming media to the selected time frameChromecast.seekCast(TIME_IN_SECONDS);// Toggle Chromecast between pause or play stateChromecast.togglePauseCast();// Get the current streaming time frame. It can be use to sync the chromecast to// your visual media controllersChromecast.getStreamPosition();Chromecast uses events to let you know when you should start playing with the service, like streaming the media.
// To know if there are chromecasts aroundDeviceEventEmitter.addListener(Chromecast.DEVICE_AVAILABLE,(existance)=>console.log(existance.device_available));// To know if the connection attempt was successfulDeviceEventEmitter.addListener(Chromecast.DEVICE_CONNECTED,()=>{/* callback */});// If chromecast started to stream the media succesfully, it will send this eventDeviceEventEmitter.addListener(Chromecast.MEDIA_LOADED,()=>{/* callback */});DEVICE_AVAILABLE,DEVICE_CONNECTED,DEVICE_DISCONNECTED,MEDIA_LOADED,Refer to the example folder to find an implementation of this project. Remember to use
pod installreact-native link react-native-google-cast
to try it!
