v0.4.0

October 29, 2019

What's new

• Group encryption primitives (meant as low-level building blocks for implementing group chats in E3kit).
• Autolinking on iOS with React Native > 0.61.0
• Unified error names between React Native and JS

BREAKING CHANGES

• If you're on React Native v0.60.x, you'll need to explicitly disable autolinking of react-native-virgil-crypto. To do that, you'll need to update your react-native.config.js's dependencies entry to look like this (create this file in the root of your project if you don't have it):

  // react-native.config.js
  module.exports = {
    dependencies: {
      'react-native-virgil-crypto': {
        platforms: {
          ios: null // disable iOS platform, other platforms will still autolink if provided
        }
      }
    }
  };

• If you relied on errors thrown by this library to have the name property equal to "RNVirgilCryptoError", you'll need to update your code because this is no longer the case. You can do instanceof check instead. So, if you had code like this:

  import { virgilCrypto } from 'react-native-virgil-crypto';
  
  try {
      const decryptedMessage = virgilCrypto.decrypt(encryptedMessage);
  } catch (err) {
      if (err.name === 'RNVirgilCryptoError') {
          // decryption failed
      }
  }

  It can be re-written like this:

  -import { virgilCrypto } from 'react-native-virgil-crypto';
  +import { virgilCrypto, RNVirgilCryptoError } from 'react-native-virgil-crypto';
  
   try {
          const decryptedMessage = virgilCrypto.decrypt(encryptedMessage);
   } catch (err) {
  -       if (err.name === 'RNVirgilCryptoError') {
  +       if (err instanceof RNVirgilCryptoError) {
                  // decryption failed
          }
   }
