React Native ML Kit

Install the text recognition module using npm:

npm install @react-native-ml-kit/text-recognition --save

Linking

• React Native > 0.59: The module is automatically linked via the CLI autolink feature during the app build process.
• React Native <= 0.59: Manually link the module using:

  react-native link @react-native-ml-kit/text-recognition

iOS Setup

On iOS, you must install the native pods using CocoaPods:

npx pod-install

Depending on your React Native version, follow the appropriate linking method:

• React Native > 0.59: The module uses CLI autolinking and will be linked automatically during the app build process.
• React Native <= 0.59: Manually link the module using the React Native CLI:

react-native link @react-native-ml-kit/face-detection

On iOS, you must add the native RNMLKitFaceDetection dependency to your project using CocoaPods:

npx pod-install

Install the face detection module using npm:

npm install @react-native-ml-kit/face-detection --save

Linking

• React Native > 0.59: The module is automatically linked using the CLI autolink feature during the app build process.
• React Native <= 0.59: Manually link the module using: react-native link @react-native-ml-kit/translate-text

iOS Setup

On iOS, you must install the native CocoaPods dependencies by running:

npx pod-install

Install the package using npm to add it to your React Native project:

npm install @react-native-ml-kit/translate-text --save

Note: This package is currently in alpha release. It is recommended for testing purposes but is not recommended for production use until it reaches a stable state.

Depending on your React Native version, follow the appropriate linking procedure:

• React Native > 0.59: The module is automatically linked via the CLI autolink feature during the app build process.
• React Native <= 0.59: Manually link the module using the React Native CLI.

# For React Native <= 0.59
react-native link @react-native-ml-kit/barcode-scanning

Before publishing a new version of the library to npm, you must publish it as a Maven dependency. This requires having the Android SDK and NDK installed and configured in a local.properties file within the Android directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Ensure Android SDK and NDK are installed.
2. Configure local.properties with the correct paths to your SDK and NDK.
3. Delete the existing maven folder.
4. Execute ./gradlew installArchives to generate the new artifacts.
5. Verify that the generated files in the maven folder match the intended version number.

ndk.dir=/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
sdk.dir=/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk

./gradlew installArchives

For iOS projects, use CocoaPods to add the native RNMLKitBarcodeScanning dependency to your project.

npx pod-install

Before publishing a new version to npm, follow these steps to prepare the Android library as a Maven dependency:

1. Ensure the Android SDK and NDK are installed on your system.
2. Create or update a local.properties file in the Android folder to point to your SDK and NDK locations.
3. Delete the existing maven folder.
4. Execute the Gradle task to install archives.
5. Verify that the generated files in the maven folder match the correct version number.

ndk.dir=/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
sdk.dir=/Users/{username}/Library/Android/sdk

./gradlew installArchives
