Pay Now Button Component not displaying in Front End

[mosesegboh]

Hello, installed the library, but I cannot find the "Pay Now" button when I load the component on my app as displayed in the tutorial. Who can help. Is there anything extra I need to do? Regards.

Hello 👋🏾

pay now button was taken out of V4, I’d advice referring to the docs on the use of Ref to initiate payment with pay now button here

Hello Tobi, Thanks for your prompt response. I had already tried using the second approach with useRef, However I get an error with the line of code displayed below: "const paystackWebViewRef = useRef();" Can't seem to figure out a way around it. any suggestions why that is? I have attached a screenshot of my code with the error message below: Kindly assist if you can.

Hello what version are you using ?

[mosesegboh]

I am using "react-native-paystack-webview": "^4.0.3",

I also get the error, "Paystack props is not defined" when I pass in "null as a parameter for the useRef code I highlighted above "as displayed in the image below;

that's a wrong usage, you're not meant to set null with that ref. make sure your code look very similar to this

import React, {useRef} from 'react';
import type { Node } from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView, 
  Text, 
  TouchableOpacity
} from 'react-native';

import { Paystack, paystackProps } from 'react-native-paystack-webview'

const App: () => Node = () => {

  const paystackWebViewRef = useRef<paystackProps.PayStackRef>(); 

  console.log(paystackWebViewRef)

  return (
    <SafeAreaView>
      <Paystack
        paystackKey={'your-pk-here'}
        onCancel={() => { }}
        onSuccess={() => { }}
        billingEmail={'your-email-here'}
        billingName={'your-billing-name-here'}
        amount={'700.90'} 
        ref={paystackWebViewRef}
        // autoStart={true}
      />

      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => paystackWebViewRef.current.startTransaction()}>
        <Text>Pay Now</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

export default App;

Hello, Thanks for the response. I tried it as you have stated in the code, however, I am still getting the same error on that same line of code. I even went as far as disabling javascript validation in my vscode but the code won't compile due to that error. Below is a screenshot of my code with the error message
