I am using react-native-health package to get user’s health data from Apple health kit,
I can get health data one by one using individual functions, but is there any way to get all health data in a short way?

I am asking for all permissions

const permissions = {
  permissions: {
    read: [
        "ActiveEnergyBurned",
        "BasalEnergyBurned",
        "BloodGlucose",
        "BloodPressureSystolic",
        "BloodPressureDiastolic",
        "BodyFatPercentage",
        "BodyMass",
        "BodyMassIndex",
        "BodyTemperature",
        "DietaryEnergyConsumed",
        "DietaryFatTotal",
        "DietaryProtein",
        "DietaryCarbohydrates",
        "DietarySugar",
        "DietaryFiber",
        "DietaryCalcium",
        "DietaryIron",
        "DietaryPotassium",
        "DietarySodium",
        "DietaryVitaminA",
        "DietaryVitaminC",
        "DietaryVitaminD",
        "DietaryVitaminE",
        "DietaryVitaminK",
        "HeartRate",
        "Height",
        "RestingHeartRate",
        "SleepAnalysis",
        "StepCount",
        "Weight",

    ],
    write: [],
  },
}

and can get different data using different functions like

getEnergyConsumedSamples
getProteinSamples
getFiberSamples
getTotalFatSamples
saveFood
saveWater
getWater
getWaterSamples
getFiberSamples
getInsulinDeliverySamples
saveInsulinDeliverySamples
deleteInsulinDeliverySamples

  1. Yes, you can retrieve multiple types of health data in a more concise way by using the getMultipleData function provided by the react-native-health package. This function allows you to request multiple data types in a single call.

    Here’s an example of how you can use the getMultipleData function to retrieve multiple health data types at once:

    import HealthKit from 'react-native-health';
    
    // Define the data types you want to retrieve
    const dataTypes = [
      HealthKit.Constants.HealthKitSampleType.ActiveEnergyBurned,
      HealthKit.Constants.HealthKitSampleType.BasalEnergyBurned,
      HealthKit.Constants.HealthKitSampleType.BloodGlucose,
      // Add other data types you want to retrieve
    ];
    
    // Request authorization for the data types
    const permissions = {
      permissions: {
        read: dataTypes,
        write: [],
      },
    };
    
    // Get the health data
    HealthKit.initHealthKit(permissions, (err, res) => {
      if (err) {
        console.log('Error initializing HealthKit:', err);
        return;
      }
    
      // Set the query options
      const options = {
        startDate: new Date(2023, 0, 1).toISOString(), // Start date of data retrieval
        endDate: new Date().toISOString(), // End date of data retrieval
      };
    
      // Retrieve the health data
      HealthKit.getMultipleData(dataTypes, options, (error, results) => {
        if (error) {
          console.log('Error retrieving health data:', error);
          return;
        }
    
        // Process the retrieved data
        console.log('Retrieved health data:', results);
      });
    });
    

    In this example, you define an array dataTypes containing the types of health data you want to retrieve. Then, you request authorization for these data types using the read property in the permissions object. After initializing HealthKit and obtaining authorization, you set the query options, specifying the start and end dates for the data retrieval.

    Finally, you call the getMultipleData function with the array of data types and the query options. The retrieved health data will be passed to the callback function, where you can process the results as needed.

    Note that you need to import the HealthKit module from the react-native-health package and make sure you have properly configured the HealthKit capabilities and permissions in your React Native project.

          return;
        }
    
        // Process the retrieved data
        console.log('Retrieved health data:', results);
      }, dataTypes);
    });
