How Do I Use WooCommerce API in React Native?

If you are a React Native developer, you may have noticed that there is not a lot of information out there on how to use the WooCommerce API in React Native. This is because the WooCommerce API is not designed for React Native. However, there are a few workarounds that you can use to get the WooCommerce API to work with React Native.

The first thing you need to do is install the WooCommerce-api npm package. This package will give you access to the WooCommerce API.

Next, you need to create a new file in your React Native project and name it wc-api.js. In this file, you will need to write the following code:

import WC from 'woocommerce-api';

const wc = new WC({
url: 'YOUR_STORE_URL',
consumerKey: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
consumerSecret: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET' });

export default wc;

Replace YOUR_STORE_URL with your actual store URL and YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY and YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET with your actual consumer key and secret. You can find these keys in your WordPress admin panel under WooCommerce > Settings > API > Keys/Apps.

Now that you have set up the WooCommerce API, you can use it in your React Native app. To do this, you will need to make a request to the WooCommerce API using the wc object that you created in the previous step. For example, if you want to get a list of products from your store, you would use the following code:

wc.get('products').then((data) => {
// do something with the data
}).catch((error) => {
// handle error });

This code will make a GET request to the products endpoint of the WooCommerce API and return a list of products in JSON format. You can then do whatever you want with this data in your app.

Products are not the only thing you can get from the WooCommerce API. You can also get orders, customers, coupons, and much more. For a full list of things that you can do with the WooCommerce API, check out their documentation.

Using the WooCommerce API in React Native is not as straight forward as it is for other platforms but it is possible. With a little bit of work, you can get it working in your app.
