useAMAContext

The hook provides information on various accessibility services and can be used to trigger the AMA error banner.

Usage

import { useAMAContext } from '@react-native-ama/core';

const {
  isReduceTransparencyEnabled: boolean,
  isBoldTextEnabled: boolean,
  isGrayscaleEnabled: boolean,
  isInvertColorsEnabled: boolean,
  isReduceMotionEnabled: boolean,
  isScreenReaderEnabled: boolean,
  reactNavigationScreenOptions: {
    animationEnabled: boolean;
    animation: 'default' | 'fade';
  }
  trackError: (id: string) => void; // dev mode only
  removeError: (id: string) => void; // dev mode only
} = useAMAContext();
