• Available methods and interfaces

interface SmartConfigResponse {
  bssid: string;
  ipv4: string;
}

interface WifiInfoState {
  bssid: string | null;
  ssid: string | null;
  ipv4: string;
  isConnected: boolean;
  isWifi: boolean;
  frequency: number | null; // android only
  type: string; // connection type name i.e wifi/cellular/none
}

function start({
  bssid: string;
  ssid: string;
  password: string;
}): Promise<SmartConfigResponse[]>;

function stop();

function getWifiInfo(): Promise<WifiInfoState>;

• Javascript example

import espSmartconfig from 'react-native-esp-smartconfig';

espSmartconfig
  .start({
    bssid: 'wifi-network-bssid',
    ssid: 'wifi-network-ssid',
    password: 'wifi-password',
  })
  .then(function (results) {
    // Array of devices, successfully handshaked by smartconfig
    console.log(results);
    /*[
    {
      'bssid': 'device-bssid', // device bssid
      'ipv4': '192.168.1.11'   // device local ip address
    }
  ]*/
  })
  .catch(function (error) {});

// to cancel on-going smartconfig process
espSmartconfig.stop();
