Getting Started

Installation

npm install react-native-nitro-fetch react-native-nitro-modules

note

Nitro Modules requires React Native 0.75 or higher.

Rebuild your app

After installing, rebuild your app so the Nitro module is linked:

npx react-native run-android
# or
npx react-native run-ios

Verify with a simple request

import { fetch } from 'react-native-nitro-fetch';

export async function test() {
  const res = await fetch('https://httpbin.org/get');
  console.log('status', res.status);
  console.log('headers', Object.fromEntries(res.headers));
  console.log('json', await res.json());
}

Platform details

• Android uses Cronet (via org.chromium.net:cronet-embedded) which is already included in android/build.gradle. No extra setup required.
• iOS uses the native URLSession client.

WebSockets (optional)

Add the companion socket package plus the text decoder (peer dependency):

npm i react-native-nitro-websockets react-native-nitro-text-decoder

Then install native pods and rebuild:

cd ios && pod install && cd ..
npx react-native run-ios

See the WebSockets docs for full setup and API details.
