Peer Dependency

FeatureDeck uses zustand for internal state management. If your project doesn't already include it:

npm install zustand

Quick Start

1. Initialize the SDK

Call init in your app entry point (e.g. App.tsx). Get your API key from the FeatureDeck dashboard.

import { FeatureDeck } from '@featuredeck/react-native';

await FeatureDeck.init({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
});

await FeatureDeck.setUser({
  externalUserId: 'user-123',
  username: 'johndoe',
  email: 'john@example.com',
});

2. Wrap Your App with the Provider

Add FeatureDeckProvider at your app root. This renders the feedback board modal.

import { FeatureDeckProvider } from '@featuredeck/react-native';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <FeatureDeckProvider>
      {/* Your app content */}
    </FeatureDeckProvider>
  );
}

3. Open the Feature Board

Trigger the board from anywhere — a button, menu item, or settings screen.

import { FeatureDeck } from '@featuredeck/react-native';

function SettingsScreen() {
  return (
    <View>
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => FeatureDeck.openFeatureBoard()}>
        <Text>Feature Requests</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </View>
  );
}

What's Included

The SDK opens a full-screen modal with two tabs:

Features Tab	Roadmap Tab
Browse all feature requests	View planned, in-progress & completed items
Upvote features with optimistic UI	Grouped by status with clear labels
Submit new feature requests	Pull-to-refresh for latest updates
Delete features you created
Pull-to-refresh & infinite scroll

User Management

Users must be identified to submit features, vote, and delete their own requests.

// When user logs in
await FeatureDeck.setUser({
  externalUserId: 'user-123',  // Required — your app's user ID
  username: 'johndoe',         // Optional
  email: 'john@example.com',   // Optional
});

// When user logs out
await FeatureDeck.setUser(null);

Customization

Theme

Customize colors to match your app's design. Pass a theme during initialization or update it later.

await FeatureDeck.init({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  theme: {
    colors: {
      primary: '#8B5CF6',
      background: '#FFFFFF',
      text: '#1F2937',
    },
    isDark: false,
  },
});

// Update theme at runtime
FeatureDeck.setTheme({
  colors: {
    primary: '#10B981',
  },
  isDark: true,
});

// Quick dark/light mode toggles
FeatureDeck.enableDarkMode();
FeatureDeck.enableLightMode();

Theme Utilities

Create themes from a single color or merge with defaults.

import {
  createThemeFromColor,
  mergeTheme,
  lightTheme,
  darkTheme,
} from '@featuredeck/react-native';

const customTheme = createThemeFromColor('#E85D04', false);
const merged = mergeTheme(lightTheme, customTheme);

await FeatureDeck.init({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  theme: merged,
});

async function bootstrap() {
  await FeatureDeck.init({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

  await FeatureDeck.setUser({
    externalUserId: 'user-123',
    username: 'johndoe',
    email: 'john@example.com',
