React Native

The FeedbackJar React Native SDK lets you submit feedback and list public posts from iOS and Android apps. You build your own form — the SDK handles submission with device metadata attached.

• Package: @feedbackjar/react-native-sdk
• Min React Native: 0.70.0
• Platforms: iOS & Android

Installation

npm install @feedbackjar/react-native-sdk

No native modules required — the SDK uses React Native’s built-in fetch, Platform, and Dimensions APIs.

Setup

Configure once before use, typically in your root App.tsx:

import { FeedbackJar } from '@feedbackjar/react-native-sdk';

FeedbackJar.configure({ widgetId: 'your-widget-id' });

Get your widget ID from Settings → Widgets in your FeedbackJar workspace.

Submit feedback

Submissions are anonymous. Each submission automatically includes device metadata (OS version, screen size, locale, timezone).

const result = await FeedbackJar.submit(userText);

if (result.ok) {
  console.log('Submitted:', result.value.postId);
} else {
  console.error('Failed:', result.error.message);
}

A callback variant is available when you are not in an async context:

FeedbackJar.submit(userText, (result) => {
  if (result.ok) {
    // show success state
  }
});

List feedback

Fetch the public feedback feed with optional pagination:

const result = await FeedbackJar.listFeedback({ limit: 20 });

if (result.ok) {
  for (const post of result.value.posts) {
    console.log(`${post.title} — ${post.upvotes} upvotes`);
  }
}

Pass boardId to filter by board, or cursor for pagination.

API reference

All methods return a discriminated union — nothing throws on network errors:

type FeedbackJarResult<T> =
  | { ok: true; value: T }
  | { ok: false; error: Error };

Notes

• Only anonymous submission is supported — no user identity is sent.
• The server rate-limits submissions (5 per 15 minutes per IP).
• Private boards and non-public posts are never returned by listFeedback.
