## Usage

Hooks API:

import { useBluetoothStatus } from 'react-native-bluetooth-status';

...

const [btStatus, isPending, setBluetooth] = useBluetoothStatus();
return (
  {!isPending && <Text>{btStatus ? 'On' : 'Off'}</Text>}
  <Button title="Toggle BT" onPress={() => setBluetooth(!btStatus)} />
)
Variable Description
btStatus Current Bluetooth status. Starts undefined, but updated asynchronously right away. Updated automatically if status changes.
isPending Starts at true and after getting first Bluetooth status, is set to false. Helps to know when btStatus is not undefined anymore.
setBluetooth Android Only Enables / disabled bluetooth. Takes boolean parameter (defaults to true) to select the operation.

Imperative API

import { BluetoothStatus } from 'react-native-bluetooth-status';

...

async getBluetoothState() {
  const isEnabled = await BluetoothStatus.state();
}

For further usage examples, see the example project using this library.

Method Description
state Returns a promise, which will return a boolean value, true if bluetooth is enabled, false if disabled.
addListener Takes function parameter, which will be run when BT status changes, with the new BT on/off status (true / false).
removeListener Removes listener.
enable Android only Changes bluetooth state. Takes boolean parameter (defaults to true), true to enable, false to disable.
disable Android only Disables bluetooth, same end result as calling enable(false).
