Integrating real-time collaboration into your React Native application

Nutrient React Native SDK with Instant makes it easy to add real-time collaboration features to your Nutrient-powered app. It allows users to seamlessly share, edit, and annotate PDF documents across Android, iOS, and web apps.

Requirements

Nutrient React Native SDK with Instant

Nutrient React Native SDK supports Instant by default. No additional setup is required on the client side. To run Instant, provide the server URL and the JSON Web Token (JWT) from the server that contains the user authentication, permissions, and Instant layers.

Document Engine instance

To set up a Document Engine instance and set up an example project, follow the example projects guide.

Quick start with the Catalog example

To run the React Native Catalog example with a built-in Instant example:

1. Go to the Nutrient Web demo page.

2. Click the Collaborate in Real-time button in the top-left corner.

3. A dialog appears with a collaboration URL and a QR code.

4. Run the React Native Catalog example on an emulator or a physical device.

5. In the Nutrient Instant example, enter the collaboration URL, or scan the QR code (when using a physical device), to open the Instant document.
