How to add new function to this library?

[vvusts]

Hi,

I am trying yo add additional function to library. I want to open another app from my carplay app. So I added:

RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(launchmap:(NSString*)templateId) {
    CPTemplate *template = [[RNCPStore sharedManager] findTemplateById:templateId];
    if (template) {
        CPMapTemplate *mapTemplate = (CPMapTemplate*) template;
        [mapTemplate hideTripPreviews];

        NSString *urlString = @"http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=\(42.3773697),\(7.3966319)&dirflg=d";

        [[RNCPStore sharedManager] openURL:urlString];
    }
}

I also added to MapTemplate.d.ts launchmap(): void; But when I call it from my code: mapTemplate.launchmap(); It doesn't work. What should I do to extend library with additional function?

So with this library, you have to add it in a few more places. MapTemplate.ts has a place where it actually connects it to the native module. I would do a global search of "updateMapButtons" in your code and look at all the places it is declared. Just insert yours along the chain, and it will work!

@vvusts you may want to just add an onClick handler to a button / menu within your carplay template and then execute this code in the callback. I may be missing something but I do not believe that the functionality you are suggesting is generic enough to warrant being added to this codebase. Happy to be corrected on this if you feel otherwise.

Have to agree with @tomdye. Feel free to open the issue if you still feel this is something we should consider. Or if there is some specific CarPlay linking things we need to do.
