Native Components - Boxo Documentation

Native components are UI components that are natively developed on the iOS and Android that can be used in combination with web UI components with the help of events from the JS SDK. List of native components and native features that are available to your miniapp:

`AppBoxoWebAppSetNavigationBar`

Activates native navigation bar.

Example:

appboxo.send('AppBoxoWebAppSetNavigationBar', {
  title: 'Light nav bar',     // Navigation bar title
  backButton: true,           // Controls back button visibility
  background: '#ffffff',      // Navigation bar background color
  frontColor: '#000000',      // Navigation bar and status bar accent color
  show: true                  // Controls navigation bar visibility,
  isBackgroundTransparent: true,        // When set to true, will make background transparent
  frontColorWhenTransparent: '#ffffff', // Navigation bar and status bar accent color when navigation has transparent background
  changeBackgroundOnScroll: true        // Will smoothly change backgroound from transparent to `background` color on scroll
})

Sending event with only required changes will preserve initial options:

appboxo.send('AppBoxoWebAppSetNavigationBar', {
  title: 'Changed some time later'
})

Tab bar

`AppBoxoWebAppSetTabBar`

Initialized native tab bar component

Parameters

show required boolean Defines TabBar visibility
activeTab required number Active TabBar item id
list required Array<{ tabId: number, tabName: string, tabIcon: string }> Define tabs
options required { color: string, background: string, selectedColor: string, hasBorder: boolean, borderColor: string } Tab bar options
badges optional Array<{ tabId: number, background: string, color: string, value?: string }> Define tab item badges.

Example:

appboxo.send('AppBoxoWebAppSetTabBar', {
  show: true,
  activeTab: 1,
  list: [
    {
      tabId: 1,
      tabName: 'Home',
      tabIcon: ICON_URL
    },
    {
      tabId: 2,
      tabName: 'About',
      tabIcon: ICON_URL
    },
    {
      tabId: 3,
      tabName: 'Services',
      tabIcon: ICON_URL
    }
  ],
  badges: [
    {
      tabId: 1,
      background: '#ff0000',
      color: '#ffffff',
      value: '4'
    },
    {
      tabId: 3,
      background: '#ff0000',
      color: '#ffffff',
      value: '1'
    }
  ],
  options: {
    color: '#aaaaaa',
    background: '#ffffff',
    selectedColor: '#2eb8da',
    hasBorder: true,
    borderColor: '#dddddd'

appboxo.send('AppBoxoWebAppSetTabBar', {
  activeTab: 2
})

appboxo.send('AppBoxoWebAppSetTabBar', {
  options: {
    color: '#ffffff',
