React Native Plaid Link auth

Since Plaid.com doesn't have support for React Native and a lot o devs asked for an implementation, I've built this lib that adds support for Plaid authentication using a Webview and Plaid Link

Usage

yarn add react-native-plaid-link

API

Prop	Type	defaultValue
publicKey (required)	string
onMessage (required)	function
env (required)	string
product (required)	string
clientName	string
selectAccount	boolean	false
webhook	string	http://batman.codes
WebView props	-	-

render() {
  return <PlaidAuthenticator
    onMessage={this.onMessage}
    publicKey="YOUR_PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY"
    env="sandbox"
    product="auth,transactions"
    clientName="Catalin Miron"
    selectAccount={false}
  />
}

onMessage = (data) => {
  this.setState({data})
}
