Happens on the tor constructor

const tor = Tor();

Hope this is the proper way to contact you guys. It is my first in life issue to open source repo. Your work is great, I search for solution like that for quite some time. Is there a way to contact you guys outside git?

[marcosrdz]

This package contains native modules. I could be wrong but I don't think Expo is able to access native modules. Only pure JS

[AdamTo]

OK. I'll test it natively and update the issue.

[AdamTo]

Have an almost identical situation with pure react native.

Implementation

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  const tor = Tor();

  const makeTorRequest = async () => {
    // Start the daemon and socks proxy (no need for Orbot and yes iOS supported!)
    await tor.startIfNotStarted();

    try {
      // Use built in client to make REST calls to .onion urls routed through the Sock5 proxy !
      const resp = await tor.get(
        'http://xmh57jrknzkhv6y3ls3ubitzfqnkrwxhopf5aygthi7d6rplyvk3noyd.onion/cgi-bin/omega/omega',
      );
    } catch (error) {
      // Catch a network or server error like you normally with any other fetch library
    }
  };

  makeTorRequest();
  return (
    <>
      <Text>A</Text>
    </>
  );
};

Do you have some example apps for reference?

[gabidi]

• Yes repo contains a sample application you can check https://github.com/Sifir-io/react-native-tor/blob/main/example/src/App.tsx
• Move const tor = Tor(); outside of the component or wrap in a memo

If the error persist, please repost with:

1. Your package.json
2. The whole app file to see your imports etc..

Thanks !

[AdamTo]

now works just great, sorry for the inconvenience.
