Situm launches a new plugin for the development of applications with indoor positioning in React Native, the hybrid application development technology created by Facebook.
Indoor positioning is now possible with React Native. Thanks to the popularity of React Native for web applications, the interest in this Javascript technology has been very well received by mobile application developers. The forecast is that it will be used by a large part of this collective thanks to its similarity to React and the advantages it brings:
- Cross-platform code sharing.
- Low cost of creation and maintenance.
According to the growing evolution of this demand, Situm has developed in React Native an indoor location plugin that allows to:
- Access to the information of all the cartography of the user’s account.
- Obtain real time location in buildings, both of the user’s device and the rest of positioned users.
- Obtain routes and navigation directions to guide users between different points of interest.
You can check all the information about the React Native plugin at developers.situm.com and access directly to the code in our Github.
