JavaScript API

The airborne-react-native package exposes a small set of JavaScript functions for reading what the native SDK downloaded — the release config, the bundle path, and the contents of individual files inside the downloaded package. Each function takes the namespace (the application/namespace identifier you configured in the native integration) and returns a Promise.

This API is identical across the plain React Native and Expo tracks.

Not available in Expo Go

These functions are backed by a native module. They throw a linking error if the native module is not present — for example in Expo Go, or if you have not rebuilt the app after installing the package.

readReleaseConfig​

Reads the release configuration that the native SDK downloaded for the given namespace.

function readReleaseConfig(nameSpace: string): Promise<string>
ParameterTypeDescription
nameSpacestringThe application/namespace identifier whose release config to read.

Returns: Promise<string> — the release config as a JSON string. Reject if the config cannot be read.

import { readReleaseConfig } from 'airborne-react-native';

const handleReadReleaseConfig = async () => {
  try {
    const config = await readReleaseConfig('airborne-example');
    console.log(config);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};

getBundlePath​

Returns the path to the downloaded JS bundle for the given namespace.

function getBundlePath(nameSpace: string): Promise<string>
ParameterTypeDescription
nameSpacestringThe application/namespace identifier whose bundle path to return.

Returns: Promise<string> — the file path to the bundle. When no downloaded bundle is available, the native layer falls back to the bundled asset path.

import { getBundlePath } from 'airborne-react-native';

const handleGetBundlePath = async () => {
  try {
    const path = await getBundlePath('airborne-example');
    console.log(path);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};

getFileContent​

Reads the content of a file from the downloaded bundle for the given namespace.

function getFileContent(nameSpace: string, filePath: string): Promise<string>
ParameterTypeDescription
nameSpacestringThe application/namespace identifier the file belongs to.
filePathstringThe relative path of the file within the downloaded package.

Returns: Promise<string> — the file content as a string. Reject if the file cannot be read or does not exist.

import { getFileContent } from 'airborne-react-native';

const handleGetFileContent = async () => {
  try {
    const content = await getFileContent('airborne-example', 'test.js');
    console.log(content);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};

Default export​

The package's default export is the underlying native module. Prefer the named functions above; they are thin wrappers over Airborne.readReleaseConfig, Airborne.getFileContent, and Airborne.getBundlePath.

import Airborne from 'airborne-react-native';
