Compatibility API

These functions inspect the current Kindle process. The firmware argument selects a styling profile; it does not simulate another device.

import {inspectCompatibility, inspectFeature, getFirmwareProfile} from 'react-kindle';

const focus = inspectFeature('5.19.6', 'textInput.focus');
console.log(focus.available, focus.reason);

const report = inspectCompatibility('5.19.6');
console.log(report.features.slider);

const profile = getFirmwareProfile('5.19.6');
console.log(profile.presentation);

Use the running device's firmware release in these calls.

inspectFeature(firmware, feature)

Returns {available, reason}. reason is null when the capability is available; otherwise it describes the missing native contract. Unknown feature names throw.

Common feature names include button, checkbox, switch, slider, trackSlider, textInput, multilineTextInput, staticDocument, paginatedScroll, controlledScroll, and chromeTransport.

Commands have separate names: textInput.focus, textInput.blur, multilineTextInput.focus, multilineTextInput.blur, and controlledScroll.scrollTo.

inspectCompatibility(firmware, presentation?)

Returns the firmware, selected presentation, reference firmware, recovery metadata, and a features map of capability results. Use features to inspect the native managers, props, events, commands, and modules exposed by your launcher.

getFirmwareProfile(firmware, presentation?)

Returns the selected styling profile, including typography and control styles. Firmware below 5.18 selects classic; firmware from 5.18 selects unified. Pass a presentation explicitly to override that choice.

See firmware compatibility for supported runtime versions and known limits.
