'Share file with React Native

I use { Share } from 'react-native'. I shared message successfully, no problem.

Now, I generate dynamically a PDF and save it at local. Is it possible to share the PDF like when I share an url? I didn't find solutions.

After thinking, if PDF isn't possible to share. I have the idea to create dynamically HTML file with react native, then I can share the html file, but it's the same problem. There are no informations about sharing file with { Share}.

I think it's possible with the { Share } from 'react-native' because I saw the same thing on another app on Android.

I had the same problem with the share of react native. I just used this library React Native Share.

And you can pass the url to the file in your file system and it will work properly:

 Share.open({
                title: "This is my report ",
                message: "Message:",
                url: "file:///storage/emulated/0/demo/test.pdf",
                subject: "Report",
            })

This seems to work with the basic Share library from React Native, as long as you have the file:// URL of your PDF file:

Share.share({
  url: `file:///path/to/your/file.pdf`,
  title: 'Download PDF'
})

I've only tested on iOS, so YMMV.

here is my code currently are used in my app for share image link:

shareMessage =async (PhotoLink) => {
   try {
     const result = await Share.share({
       title:"title goes here",
       // url:,
       message: "see the photo"+JSON.stringify(PhotoLink),
       
       
     });
     if (result.action === Share.sharedAction) {
       if (result.activityType) {
         // shared with activity type of result.activityType
       } else {
         // shared
       }
     } else if (result.action === Share.dismissedAction) {
       // dismissed
     }
   } catch (error) {
     alert(error.message);
   }}
...
onPress={() => this.shareMessage(this.props.route.params.url)}

the share component imported from react native; you can use the like of your PDF to share; my problem is how can I share link with a small image...you know...like telegram ... when you share a photo, like+ massage+photo will share in a frame. I don't know how!
