In this blog, we will discuss How to Use Share Component in Apps Using Bagisto Native.

Introduction

Bagisto Native provides ready-to-use bridge components for Android and iOS applications. These components help connect web views with native functionalities.

Using these bridge components, you can access native features without writing extra native code. This makes development faster and easier.

One of the useful components is the Share component, which allows users to share content using native apps.

What is Share Component

The Share component is used to open the device’s native share dialog. It allows users to share text, URLs, or other content through applications like WhatsApp, Gmail, and more.

This component works as a bridge between the web layer and the native layer.

Prerequisites

Before using the Share component, make sure:

Hotwire Native is integrated into your application. You can follow our Hotwire integration guide here:
How to Build a Mobile App with Hotwire
Bagisto Native is added to your project.
Bridge components are registered properly.
Your application is configured with Hotwire setup

How to Add Bagisto Native in Your Project

Android Setup

First, you need to add the JitPack repository in your project-level Gradle file.

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

dependencyResolutionManagement {

repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)

repositories {

mavenCentral()

maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }

}

After that, add the Bagisto Native dependency in your app-level Gradle file.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.SocialMobikul:BagistoNative_Android:Tag'
}

dependencies {

implementation 'com.github.SocialMobikul:BagistoNative_Android:Tag'

}

Replace Tag with the latest version.

Now sync your project, and Bagisto Native will be added successfully.

How Share Component Works

The Share component listens to events triggered from the web layer inside the WebView. When the Share action is triggered, the event is sent to the native layer for handling.

The native layer then handles the request and opens the device’s native share dialog. This process works similarly for both Android and iOS.

Android Implementation

After setup, the Share component works automatically.

When the Share event is triggered from the web, Android opens the native share dialog.

You can pass text or URLs from the web side, and it will be handled by the native layer.

Android Share Flow

When the user clicks on the Share button, the web layer triggers the Share event. The native layer then receives the event and opens the device’s native share dialog.

iOS Implementation

In iOS, the Share component works similarly after setup.

When triggered, it opens the native iOS share sheet.

No additional native code is required.

iOS Share Flow

When the user clicks on the Share button, the web layer triggers the Share event. The native layer then receives the event and opens the device’s native share dialog.

Benefits of Share Component

Works for both Android and iOS
No need to write native logic separately
Improves user experience

Conclusion

The Share component in Bagisto Native helps you easily add native sharing functionality to your application. You only need to configure it once, and it will work seamlessly with your web layer.
