React Native KDB Binding

Rationale

fast access to KDB file on React Native

Setup for iOS

initialize a React Native Project

git clone ksanaforge/ksana-corpus ksanaforge/ksana-corpus-rom ksanaforge/ksana-corpus-search

drag *.cor file to project, click the file and tick project name in "Target membership", otherwise the file cannot be found by simulator and device

javascript API is same as web, openCorpus, cor.get and so on.

Setup

• Install Module

npm install --save-dev react-native-android-kdb

• android/settings.gradle

...
include ':react-native-android-kdb'
project(':react-native-android-kdb').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-android-kdb')

• android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
	...
	compile project(':react-native-android-kdb')
}

• register module (in MainActivity.java)

...

import io.ksanaforge.kdb.*; <--- import 

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {
	...
	
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);

        mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
                .setApplication(getApplication())
                .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
                .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
                .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
                .addPackage(new KDBModule())           // <- add heree
                .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
                .build();

        mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "YourProject", null);

        setContentView(mReactRootView);
    }	
}

Usage

So, the first step involves copying your kdb db to the following folder

<ReactNativeRootFolder>/node_modules/react-native-android-kdb/src/main/assets/databases

Substitute <ReactNativeRootFolder> for the folder where your app resides, i.e. AwesomeProject.
