Record Viewer—React Native

This React Native app shows you how easy it is to use the Salesforce User Interface API to create, read, update, and delete Salesforce records.

Salesforce uses User Interface API to build the Salesforce1 and Lightning Experience apps. Not only do you get data and metadata in a single response, but the response matches metadata changes made to the org by Salesforce admins. You don’t have to worry about layouts, picklists, field-level security, or sharing—all you have to do is build an app that users love.

Set Up the App

The Record Viewer app gets and sets data from a Salesforce organization.

To authenticate Record Viewer with a Salesforce org:

1. In the Salesforce org, configure a connected app.

   • For the Callback URL, enter any URL that starts with https://.
   • For OAuth Scope, select either api or full.
   • Make a note of the OAuth consumer key to enter in the Record Viewer Config.js file.

2. Clone the RecordViewerNative repository.

3. In the Config.js file:

   • Set oauthRedirect to the callback URL in the connected app.
   • Set consumerKey to the OAuth consumer key in the connected app.

Build the App

1. Install react-native, watchman, and XCode.
2. From the RecordViewerNative directory:
   1. Run npm install.
   2. Run react-native run-ios. (The Android build might work, but we haven't tested it.)
