Prerequisites

Section titled Prerequisites
  1. Follow the instructions from Adobe Analytics for mobile apps ↗
  2. Add the React Native AEP ↗ to your project

Code implementation

Section titled Code implementation

Add the following code snippet in your application code.

adobe-analytics.js
import { Edge, ExperienceEvent } from "@adobe/react-native-aepedge";
import Contentsquare from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
// TODO: Use local storage you prefer here
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage";


export async function sendCSMatchingKeyIfNeeded() {
  const csMatchingKeyRecord = await AsyncStorage.getItem("csMatchingKey_creation_ts");
  if (!csMatchingKeyRecord) {
    await submitNewCsMatchingKey();
    return;
  }


  const { timestamp } = JSON.parse(csMatchingKeyRecord);
  if (Date.now() - timestamp > 30 * 60 * 1000) {
    // if the key is not valid anymore, submit a new one
    await submitNewCsMatchingKey();
  }
  // if the key is still valid, do nothing
}


async function submitNewCsMatchingKey() {
  // Generate the matching key and store it in the local storage
  const csMatchingKeyValue = `${Math.random()}_${Date.now()}`;
  const newCsMatchingKeyRecord = {
    csMatchingKey: csMatchingKeyValue,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  };
  await AsyncStorage.setItem("csMatchingKey_creation_ts", JSON.stringify(newCsMatchingKeyRecord));


  // Submit the matching key to Contentsquare and Adobe
  Contentsquare.sendDynamicVar("csMatchingKey", csMatchingKeyValue);


  const xdmData = { eventType: "csMatchingKey_state" };
  const data = { csMatchingKey: csMatchingKeyValue };
  const experienceEvent = new ExperienceEvent(xdmData, data);
  Edge.sendEvent(experienceEvent);
}

Add a call to the sendCSMatchingKeyIfNeeded() from within the index.js file of your project root folder when app state changes to ‘active’.

index.js
import { AppState } from "react-native";
import { sendCSMatchingKeyIfNeeded } from "./adobe-analytics.js";


// Listen for app state changes to foreground
AppState.addEventListener("change", (nextAppState) => {
  if (nextAppState === "active") {
    sendCSMatchingKeyIfNeeded();
  }
});
How to use deprecated React Native AEP Analytics Extension

Add the following code snippet in your application code. Add a call to the updateCsMatchingKey() from within the index.js file of your project root folder.

adobe-analytics.js
import { ACPCore } from "@adobe/react-native-acpcore";
import Contentsquare from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
// TODO: Use local storage you prefer here
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-community/async-storage";


export async function updateCsMatchingKey() {
  const csMatchingKeyRecord = await AsyncStorage.getItem("csMatchingKey_creation_ts");
  if (!csMatchingKeyRecord) {
    await submitNewCsMatchingKey();
    return;
  }


  const { timestamp } = JSON.parse(csMatchingKeyRecord);
  if (Date.now() - timestamp > 30 * 60 * 1000) {
    // if the key is not valid anymore, submit a new one
    await submitNewCsMatchingKey();
  }
  // if the key is still valid, do nothing
}


async function submitNewCsMatchingKey() {
  // Generate the matching key and store it in the local storage
  const csMatchingKeyValue = `${Math.random()}_${Date.now()}`;
  const newCsMatchingKeyRecord = {
    csMatchingKey: csMatchingKeyValue,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  };
  await AsyncStorage.setItem("csMatchingKey_creation_ts", JSON.stringify(newCsMatchingKeyRecord));


  // Submit the matching key to Contentsquare and Adobe
  Contentsquare.sendDynamicVar("csMatchingKey", csMatchingKeyValue);
  ACPCore.trackState("csMatchingKey_state", {
    csMatchingKey: csMatchingKeyValue,
  });
}
