Simple LinkedIn login library for React-Native with WebView into a Modal
## Benefits
- **Light**: No need to link a native library like others alternatives
- **Simple**: Get the token and the expires, you handle your own login with the access_token
- **Sure**: open-source
- **Almost readable & understandable code**: JavaScript & React
## Installation
```bash
$ yarn add @gcou/react-native-linkedin
```
If your project uses expo >= 48, then you need to add expo-crypto to your project.
The [uuid](https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid) library uses the Expo module if present. If Expo >= 48, then the crypto elements are in the expo-crypto module
```bash
$ yarn add expo-crypto
```
## Security
Please note that you should give your linkedin client id but not your secret key to this component.
You should be aware that key can be found if you store it directly to your code.
**I strongly recommend to not declare client secret key on your code but found a way to keep it secret**

```tsx
console.log(`Post this ${authentication_code} to your server.`)}
/>
```
## Example
```JavaScript
// See ./App.tsx file for details
import React, { ReactElement, useRef } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import LinkedInModal, { LinkedInModalRef } from 'react-native-linkedin';
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: '#fff',
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
},
})
export default function AppContainer() : ReactElement {
linkedRef = useRef(null);
return (
console.log(token)}
/>
)
}
```
