If you're running React Native 0.60.0+, you're done, this module supports autolinking. If you're using React Native 0.59.10 and lower, check tag v1.0.7 instructions.

Manual linking

iOS

  1. Open your project in Xcode, right click on Libraries and click Add Files to "Your Project Name" Look under node_modules/@shoutem/react-native-calendar-manager and add CalendarManager.xcodeproj.
  2. Add libCalendarManager.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
  3. Click on CalendarManager.xcodeproj in Libraries and go the Build Settings tab. Double click the text to the right of Header Search Paths and verify that it has the lines $(SRCROOT)/../../node_modules/react-native/React/** and $(SRCROOT)/node_modules/react-native/React/** - if it doesn't, then add them. This is so Xcode is able to find the headers that the CalendarManager source files are referring to by pointing to the header files installed within the react-native node_modules directory.

Android

  1. in android/settings.gradle
#!groovy
   ...
   include ':@shoutem/react-native-calendar-manager'
   project(':@shoutem/react-native-calendar-manager').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@shoutem/react-native-calendar-manager/android')

  1. in android/app/build.gradle add:
#!groovy
   dependencies {
       ...
       implementation project(':@shoutem/react-native-calendar-manager')
   }
  1. and finally, in android/src/main/java/com/{YOUR_APP_NAME}/MainApplication.java add:
#!java
   //... MainApplication.java
   import com.shoutem.calendar.CalendarManagerPackage; // <--- add this!
   //...

   @Override
   protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
     return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
       ...
       packages.add(new CalendarManagerPackage()); // <---- add this!
     );
   }
