🔗 React-Native LinkedIn Signin

Simple LinkedIn login library for React-Native with WebView into a Modal

Benefits

• Light: No need to link a native library like others alternatives
• Simple: Get the token and the expires, you handle your own login with the access_token
• Sure: open-source
• Almost readable & understandable code: JavaScript & React

Installation

$ yarn add rn-linkedin-signin
$ yarn add react-native-webview

Security

Please note that you should give your linkedin client id but not your secret key to this component. You should be aware that key can be found if you store it directly to your code. I strongly recommend to not declare client secret key on your code but found a way to keep it secret

    onSuccess={{ authentication_code } => console.log(`Post this ${authentication_code} to your server.`)}
