## Getting started

### For React Native v0.60 and above (Autolinking)

As [react-native@0.60](https://reactnative.dev/blog/2019/07/03/version-60) and above supports autolinking there is no need to run the linking process. 
Read more about autolinking [here](https://github.com/react-native-picker/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md). This is supported by `react-native-windows@0.64` and above. 

#### iOS
CocoaPods on iOS needs this extra step:

```
npx pod-install
```

#### Android
No additional step is required.

<details>
<summary>Windows (expand for details)</summary>

#### Windows
Usage in Windows without autolinking requires the following extra steps:

##### Add the `ReactNativePicker` project to your solution.

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2019
2. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project
   Select `D:\dev\RNTest\node_modules\@react-native-picker\picker\windows\ReactNativePicker\ReactNativePicker.vcxproj`

##### **windows/myapp.sln**
Add a reference to `ReactNativePicker` to your main application project. From Visual Studio 2019:

Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
  Check `ReactNativePicker` from Solution Projects.

##### **app.cpp**
Add `#include "winrt/ReactNativePicker.h"` to the headers included at the top of the file.

Add `PackageProviders().Append(winrt::ReactNativePicker::ReactPackageProvider());` before `InitializeComponent();`.

#### MacOS
CocoaPods on MacOS needs this extra step (called from the MacOS directory)

```
pod install
```


<details>
   <summary>React Native below 0.60 (Link and Manual Installation)</summary>

The following steps are only necessary if you are working with a version of React Native lower than 0.60
### Mostly automatic installation

`$ react-native link @react-native-picker/picker`

### Manual installation


#### iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click `Libraries` ➜ `Add Files to [your project's name]`
2. Go to `node_modules` ➜ ` @react-native-picker/picker` and add `RNCPicker.xcodeproj`
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add `libRNCPicker.a` to your project's `Build Phases` ➜ `Link Binary With Libraries`
4. Run your project (`Cmd+R`)<

#### Android

1. Open **application** file (`android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java`)
  - Add `import com.reactnativecommunity.picker.RNCPickerPackage;` to the imports at the top of the file
  - Add `new RNCPickerPackage()` to the list returned by the `getPackages()` method
2. Append the following lines to `android/settings.gradle`:
  	```
  	include ':@react-native-picker_picker'
  	project(':@react-native-picker_picker').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/@react-native-picker/picker/android')
  	```
3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in `android/app/build.gradle`:
  	```
      implementation project(path: ':@react-native-picker_picker')
  	```
#### MacOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click `Libraries` ➜ `Add Files to [your project's name]`
2. Go to `node_modules` ➜ ` @react-native-picker/picker` and add `RNCPicker.xcodeproj`
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add `libRNCPicker.a` to your project's `Build Phases` ➜ `Link Binary With Libraries`
4. Run your project (`Cmd+R`)<
</details>

## Usage

Import Picker from `@react-native-picker/picker`:

```javascript
import {Picker} from '@react-native-picker/picker';
```

Create state which will be used by the `Picker`:

```javascript
const [selectedLanguage, setSelectedLanguage] = useState();
```

Add `Picker` like this:

```javascript
<Picker
  selectedValue={selectedLanguage}
  onValueChange={(itemValue, itemIndex) =>
    setSelectedLanguage(itemValue)
  }>
  <Picker.Item label="Java" value="java" />
  <Picker.Item label="JavaScript" value="js" />
</Picker>
```

If you want to open/close picker programmatically on android (available from version 1.16.0+), pass ref to `Picker`:

```javascript
const pickerRef = useRef();

function open() {
  pickerRef.current.focus();
}

function close() {
  pickerRef.current.blur();
}

return <Picker
  ref={pickerRef}
  selectedValue={selectedLanguage}
  onValueChange={(itemValue, itemIndex) =>
    setSelectedLanguage(itemValue)
  }>
  <Picker.Item label="Java" value="java" />
  <Picker.Item label="JavaScript" value="js" />
</Picker>
```
