react-native-open-file

Why

We want an easy to way to open documents on disk (and possibly remote files as well) using default native behavior on both android and ios without dealing with the details of the two platforms.

How

On iOS, use DocumentInteractionController to present a preview. On android...TBD

Status

Very early stage WIP. Only iOS is supported, and only in the most basic way.

import {RNDocumentInteractionController} from 'NativeModules';
RNDocumentInteractionController.open({path: filePath, name: "Text displayed in header bar"}); // name is optional

Usage

npm install --save react-native-open-file@https://github.com/wootwoot1234/react-native-open-file.git

And the usual iOS linking business for DocumentInteractionController.xcodeproj.
