Here is a getting started guide for integrating Dalle 2 into a React Native app:

Getting started

Prerequisites Make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

Node.js npm (comes with Node.js)

Git clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/sisoalbert/dalle2-react-native.git

Install dependencies. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

yarn

Then follow step 7 below.

The creation process:

1. Create a new Expo app using the npx create-expo-app my-app command. You can use vanilla react native as well.
2. Install the react-native-url-polyfill/auto package by running yarn add react-native-url-polyfill/auto.
3. Import the package at the entry point of your app, typically index.js, using import "react-native-url-polyfill/auto".
4. Install the react-native-dotenv package by running yarn add react-native-dotenv. This will allow you to use environment variables in your app, which can be useful for storing sensitive information such as API keys. The installation a bit finicky you have to update the babel.config.js add it has a plugin check my github code below.
5. Import the necessary components from the react-native package at the top of the file where you will be using Dalle 2, including SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, Text, TextInput, TouchableOpacity, View, Image, and ActivityIndicator.
6. Import the Configuration and OpenAIApi classes from the openai package.
7. Define an API_TOKEN constant in your environment variables and import it using import { API_TOKEN } from "@env". This will be used to authenticate your API requests to Dalle 2.
8. Create a new Configuration object, passing in your API_TOKEN as the apiKey option.
9. Create a new OpenAIApi object, passing in your Configuration object as an argument.
10. Create a function to handle generating an image using Dalle 2. This function should use the createImage method of the OpenAIApi object to send a request to Dalle 2 with the desired prompt and other options, such as the number of images to generate and the size of the images. The function should also handle any errors that may occur and set a loading state while the image is being generated.
11. In your component’s render method, include a form for entering a prompt and a button for triggering the image generation function. You can also include a loading indicator and display the generated image when it is available.
