To implement item reminders, we can use a combination of local notifications and a date picker.
Install Dependencies
You’ll need to install @react-native-community/datetimepicker
for date selection and react-native-push-notification
for local notifications.
bashCopy codenpm install @react-native-community/datetimepicker react-native-push-notification
Configure Local Notifications
You need to configure notifications for your app. Here’s a basic setup:
javascriptCopy code// notificationConfig.js
import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';
PushNotification.configure({
onNotification: function(notification) {
console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);
},
// Other configurations can be added here
});
Call this configuration in your App.js
file:
javascriptCopy codeimport './notificationConfig';
Add Reminder Functionality
Update your App.js
to include a date picker for setting reminders:
javascriptCopy codeimport DateTimePicker from '@react-native-community/datetimepicker';
// State to manage reminder
const [reminderDate, setReminderDate] = useState(new Date());
const [showDatePicker, setShowDatePicker] = useState(false);
// Function to handle date change
const onDateChange = (event, selectedDate) => {
const currentDate = selectedDate || reminderDate;
setShowDatePicker(false);
setReminderDate(currentDate);
};
// Function to schedule the notification
const scheduleNotification = (item) => {
PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
message: item.text,
date: reminderDate,
});
};
// When adding an item
const addItem = async () => {
if (textInput.trim() && user) {
const newItem = { text: textInput, completed: false, reminder: reminderDate };
const docRef = await addDoc(collection(db, user.uid), newItem);
setItems([...items, { key: docRef.id, ...newItem }]);
scheduleNotification(newItem);
setTextInput('');
}
};
// Render date picker
{showDatePicker && (
<DateTimePicker
value={reminderDate}
mode="date"
display="default"
onChange={onDateChange}
/>
)}
