Question 1

How do I use react-native-haptic with a button press in React Native?

Accepted Answer

Import the library and call ReactNativeHaptic.generate() in the onPress handler of a component like TouchableHighlight. For instance, use 'impactLight' for light feedback—refer to the README for all type options.

Question 2

react-native-haptic vs react-native-haptics: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

react-native-haptic is iOS-only with a minimal API, while alternatives like react-native-haptics might offer cross-platform support or additional features. Choose based on your platform needs; if Android is required, this library isn't suitable.

Question 3

How can I sync haptic feedback with sound in my React Native iOS app?

Accepted Answer

Use the prepare() method to awaken the Taptic Engine beforehand, then trigger the haptic when the sound plays. This reduces latency and ensures precise timing for an immersive experience.

Question 4

Does react-native-haptic work on Android or is it iOS only?

Accepted Answer

It's iOS-only, designed specifically for Apple's Taptic Engine, so it won't provide any haptic feedback on Android devices—you'll need a different library for cross-platform support.

Question 5

What are all the available haptic feedback types in react-native-haptic?

Accepted Answer

The library supports types like 'impact' (with light, medium, heavy variants), 'notification' (error, success, warning), and 'selection'. Check the generate method's parameters in the README for the full list.

Question 6

Is react-native-haptic compatible with React Native's auto-linking in version 0.60+?

Accepted Answer

The README specifies manual linking in XCode, so it may not be fully compatible with auto-linking out of the box. You might need additional configuration or manual steps for integration.
