library0.0.3jsnpmunverified

React Native HTTP is a lightweight HTTP service wrapper for React Native applications, designed to simplify API interactions with built-in JWT token handling. Version 0.0.3 is the latest stable release, but the package appears to be in early development with sparse documentation. It provides an abstract base class HTTPService that supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE methods with automatic token management (Authorization header, Bearer prefix, storage key). Key differentiators: minimal overhead, token lifecycle handled internally, supports per-request authorization skipping. However, it lacks TypeScript definitions, testing, and a clear roadmap; alternatives like axios or react-native-netinfo are more mature. The project is currently in maintenance mode with infrequent updates.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

HTTPService

✓ import { HTTPService } from 'react-native-http'

✗ import HTTPService from 'react-native-http'

Default export is not provided; use named import for HTTPService class.

HTTPService

✓ const HTTPService = require('react-native-http').HTTPService

✗ const HTTPService = require('react-native-http')

CommonJS require must access the named export .HTTPService, not the module itself.

HTTPService

✓ const { HTTPService } = require('react-native-http')

Destructuring require works as well.

Creates a custom API class extending HTTPService with GET and POST methods, then instantiates it and calls getUsers.

import { HTTPService } from 'react-native-http'; class MyAPI extends HTTPService { getUsers() { return this.get('users/'); } createUser(data) { return this.post('users/', data); } } const api = new MyAPI('https://api.example.com'); api.getUsers().then(response => console.log(response)).catch(error => console.error(error));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package relies on react-native AsyncStorage for token storage; if AsyncStorage is removed in newer RN versions, token handling will fail.

fix

Consider switching to @react-native-async-storage/async-storage as a polyfill, or implement custom token storage.

affects: >=0.0.3

gotchaThe skipAuthorization option must be passed as the third parameter to methods (e.g., this.get(path, null, {skipAuthorization: true})). Omitting it or placing it incorrectly will not skip authorization.

fix

Always pass options as the third argument; for GET and DELETE, the second argument (body) should be null if not needed.

affects: >=0.0.3

breakingThe package does not handle network errors gracefully; HTTP errors may reject the promise without detailed status codes.

fix

Wrap calls in try-catch or add .catch handlers to inspect error objects.

affects: >=0.0.3

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: _reactNativeHttp.default is not a function

Default import used but package only exports named exports.

fix

Use named import: import { HTTPService } from 'react-native-http'

Cannot find module 'react-native-http'

Package is not installed or is in development mode.

fix

Run npm install react-native-http --save

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this.jwtService.setToken')

JWT token handling requires that the underlying HTTPService sets jwtService before calling methods that expect token.

fix

Ensure the HTTPService constructor is called with a baseURL and that the storageTokenPrefix (default: react_native_http_jwt_token) is set in AsyncStorage.
