How do I use background fetch in React Native?

To use background fetch in React Native, you can use the react-native-background-fetch library. First, install it using npm or yarn.

What are the steps to install the library?

You can install it by running npm install react-native-background-fetch or yarn add react-native-background-fetch. After that, link the library if you're using React Native version below 0.60.

How do I configure it after installation?

You need to configure the background fetch in your app's entry file. Import the library and call BackgroundFetch.configure() with your desired settings.

Can you give me an example of the configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

BackgroundFetch.configure({
  minimumFetchInterval: 15, // minutes
  stopOnTerminate: false,
  startOnBoot: true,
}, async (taskId) => {
  // Your background task code here
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
});
