"dependencies": {

         "@amazon-devices/react-native-device-info": "~2.0.0"
    }

Examples

Copy code Copied to clipboard.

import DeviceInfo from '@amazon-devices/react-native-device-info';

// or ES6+ destructured imports

import { getBaseOs, getBaseOsSync } from '@amazon-devices/react-native-device-info';

const baseOsSync = getBaseOsSync();
const baseOs = await getBaseOs();

API reference

Vega only supports the APIs mentioned in this document. Many APIs from react-native-device-info APIs are platform-specific. If there is no implementation for a platform, then the "default" return values you will receive are unknown for string, -1 for number, and false for boolean. Arrays and Objects will be empty ([] and {} respectively).

Most of the APIs return a Promise but also have a corresponding API with Sync on the end that operates synchronously. For example, you may prefer to call getBaseOsSync() during your app bootstrap to avoid async calls during the first parts of app startup.

Note: The values shown in the examples are for informational purposes only and don't represent the actual output.

getBaseOs()

The base OS build the product is based on.
