const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
})

export default class AppContainer extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <LinkedInModal
          clientID="[ Your client id from https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps ]"
          clientSecret="[ Your client secret from https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps ]"
          redirectUri="[ Your redirect uri set into https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps ]"
          onSuccess={token => console.log(token)}
        />
      </View>
    )
  }
}

Security

Please not that you should pass your linkedin client id and you secret key to the component. You should be aware that key can be found if you store it directly to your code. I strongly recommand to not declare both on your code but found a way to keep it secret (ie. get it from server, encrypt it, ...)

Roadmap & TODOs

• Better style for modal: border, padding, transparency
• Button to close the modal
• Test every line of code
• Better catch of error into login url
• Add gif example in README
• Publish example to expo
• Add props or other function to fetch more informations like basic profile information
