# Development is on hold
This project is not actively supported because of [this issue](https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-statusbar/issues/28). (Current state of events is that the StatusBar stays in the core for now. We're not sure for how long though.)

## Getting started

`$ npm install @react-native-community/status-bar --save`

### Mostly automatic installation

`$ react-native link @react-native-community/status-bar`

### 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-status-bar` and add `RNCStatusBar.xcodeproj`
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add `libRNCStatusBar.a` to your project's `Build Phases` ➜ `Link Binary With Libraries`
4. Run your project (`Cmd+R`)

#### Android

1. Open up `android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java`

- Add `import com.reactnativecommunity.statusbar.RNCStatusBarPackage;` to the imports at the top of the file
- Add `new RNCStatusBarPackage()` to the list returned by the `getPackages()` method

2. Append the following lines to `android/settings.gradle`:
   ```
   include ':@react-native-community_status-bar'
   project(':@react-native-community_status-bar').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,  '../../node_modules/@react-native-community/status-bar/android')
   ```
3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in `android/app/build.gradle`:
   ```
   implementation project(':@react-native-community_status-bar')
   ```

## Usage

```javascript
import StatusBar from '@react-native-community/status-bar';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <TouchableHighlight
      style={styles.wrapper}
      onPress={() => StatusBar.setHidden(true, "slide")} // or "fade"
    >
      <View style={styles.button}>
        <Text> Hide status bar </Text>
      </View>
    </TouchableHighlight>
  )
}
```

## Api

For cases where using a component is not ideal, there is also an imperative API exposed as static functions on the component. It is however not recommended to use the static API and the component for the same prop because any value set by the static API will get overriden by the one set by the component in the next render.

### Constants

`currentHeight` (Android only) The height of the status bar.
