Introduction

Welcome to react-native-nitro-device-info - a high-performance device information library for React Native, built on Nitro Modules for zero-overhead native access through JSI.

What is react-native-nitro-device-info?

react-native-nitro-device-info provides comprehensive device information and system metrics for React Native applications. Unlike traditional libraries that use the React Native bridge, this library leverages Nitro Modules to communicate directly with native code, delivering instant synchronous access to device information.

Key Features

📱 100+ Device Properties

Access comprehensive device information:

  • Device identification (model, brand, manufacturer)
  • System information (OS version, API level)
  • Hardware capabilities (memory, storage, battery)
  • Network and connectivity details
  • Application metadata

⚡ Instant Synchronous Access

Most methods return results immediately (<1ms) with no async overhead. Only I/O-bound operations like network queries remain asynchronous.

📦 TypeScript-first

Full type definitions included out of the box. All APIs are fully typed with comprehensive IntelliSense support.

🌐 Cross-platform Support

Works seamlessly on:

  • iOS: 13.4+
  • Android: API 24+ (Android 7.0 Nougat)

🔄 Easy Migration

100% API compatible with react-native-device-info for seamless transition from existing projects.

Why Choose This Library?

react-native-nitro-device-info is the ideal choice when you need:

  • Best-in-class performance: Synchronous APIs with <1ms latency
  • Modern architecture: Built on React Native's New Architecture
  • Type safety: Complete TypeScript definitions with IntelliSense
  • Hassle-free migration: Familiar API if coming from react-native-device-info
  • Future-proof: Built with the latest Nitro Modules technology

Quick Example

import { DeviceInfoModule } from 'react-native-nitro-device-info';

// Synchronous properties (immediate - <1ms)
console.log(DeviceInfoModule.deviceId);      // "iPhone14,2"
console.log(DeviceInfoModule.systemVersion); // "15.0"
console.log(DeviceInfoModule.brand);         // "Apple"

// Synchronous methods (immediate - <1ms)
const uniqueId = DeviceInfoModule.getUniqueId();
const isTablet = DeviceInfoModule.isTablet();
const batteryLevel = DeviceInfoModule.getBatteryLevel();

// Asynchronous methods (Promise-based - <100ms)
const ipAddress = await DeviceInfoModule.getIpAddress();
const carrier = await DeviceInfoModule.getCarrier();
