How to Build a Kundli Generator App in React Native (Complete Tutorial)

Building a Kundli (Janam Kundali) generator requires accurate planetary calculations, proper Rashi chart visualization, and intuitive user interfaces. This comprehensive tutorial walks you through creating a production-ready Vedic astrology app using React Native and the RoxyAPI Vedic Astrology API.

By the end of this guide, you will have a fully functional Kundli generator app with birth details input, D1 chart display, planetary positions, house descriptions, and nakshatra information.

What We Will Build

Our Kundli generator app includes:

  1. Birth Details Input - Name, date, time, and location with validation
  2. D1 Rashi Chart - Complete birth chart with planetary placements
  3. Planetary Positions - All 9 grahas with Rashi, nakshatra, and degree
  4. House Information - 12 bhavas with detailed descriptions
  5. Lagna Calculator - Accurate ascendant calculation
  6. Chart Visualization - North Indian style Kundali chart
  7. Profile Storage - Save and manage multiple Kundalis

Step 1: API Client Setup

Create a robust API client with TypeScript types:

// lib/types.ts
export interface BirthDetails {
  name: string;
  date: string; // YYYY-MM-DD
  time: string; // HH:MM:SS
  latitude: number;
  longitude: number;
  timezone: number;
  location: string;
}

export interface NakshatraData {
  anga: string;
  key: number;
  ratio: number;
  abhijit: boolean;
  left: number;
  name: string;
  pada: number;
}

export interface PlanetData {
  graha: string;
  nakshatra: NakshatraData;
  longitude: number;
  isRetrograde: boolean;
}

export interface RashiData {
  rashi: string;
  signs: PlanetData[];
}

export interface PlanetMeta {
  graha: string;
  rashi: string;
  longitude: number;
  nakshatra: NakshatraData;
  isRetrograde: boolean;
}

export interface HouseData {
  number: number;
  name: string;
  description: string;
}

export interface BirthChart {
  aries: RashiData;
  taurus: RashiData;
  gemini: RashiData;
  cancer: RashiData;
  leo: RashiData;
  virgo: RashiData;
  libra: RashiData;
  scorpio: RashiData;
  sagittarius: RashiData;
  capricorn: RashiData;
  aquarius: RashiData;
  pisces: RashiData;
  meta: {
    Sun: PlanetMeta;
    Moon: PlanetMeta;
    Mars: PlanetMeta;
    Mercury: PlanetMeta;
    Jupiter: PlanetMeta;
    Venus: PlanetMeta;
    Saturn: PlanetMeta;
    Rahu: PlanetMeta;
    Ketu: PlanetMeta;
    Lagna: PlanetMeta;
  };
  houses: HouseData[];
}

export interface KundliProfile {
  id: string;
  birthDetails: BirthDetails;
  chart: BirthChart;
  createdAt: Date;
}

API client implementation:

// lib/api.ts
const API_BASE = 'http://localhost:3001/api/v2/vedic-astrology';
const API_KEY = 'b91dd626-4d6a-4951-bf87-e1c7c90c45ba.bbdc9613db164edb.ggQtNcDzEx-YqTK6l2ssX4Y_GErDRONUps9vCOlcMrM';

export async function calculateBirthChart(
  details: BirthDetails
): Promise<BirthChart> {
  const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/birth-chart`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'X-API-Key': API_KEY,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      date: details.date,
      time: details.time,
      latitude: details.latitude,
      longitude: details.longitude,
      timezone: details.timezone,
    }),
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    const error = await response.text();
    throw new Error(`Birth chart API error: ${error}`);
  }

  return response.json();
}

// Helper: Convert time string to decimal hours
export function timeToDecimal(time: string): number {
  const [hours, minutes, seconds] = time.split(':').map(Number);
  return hours + minutes / 60 + (seconds || 0) / 3600;
}

// Helper: Format longitude to degrees/minutes
export function formatLongitude(longitude: number): string {
  const degrees = Math.floor(longitude);
  const minutes = Math.floor((longitude - degrees) * 60);
  const seconds = Math.floor(((longitude - degrees) * 60 - minutes) * 60);
  return `${degrees}° ${minutes}' ${seconds}"`;
}

Step 2: Context for State Management

Create global state to manage Kundli profiles:

// context/KundliContext.tsx
import React, { createContext, useContext, useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';
import { calculateBirthChart } from '../lib/api';
import type { BirthDetails, KundliProfile } from '../lib/types';

interface KundliContextValue {
  profiles: KundliProfile[];
  currentProfile: KundliProfile | null;
  loading: boolean;
  createProfile: (details: BirthDetails) => Promise<void>;
  selectProfile: (id: string) => void;
  deleteProfile: (id: string) => Promise<void>;
}

const KundliContext = createContext<KundliContextValue | null>(null);

export function KundliProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [profiles, setProfiles] = useState<KundliProfile[]>([]);
  const [currentProfile, setCurrentProfile] = useState<KundliProfile | null>(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  // Load profiles from storage on mount
  useEffect(() => {
    async function loadProfiles() {
      try {
        const stored = await AsyncStorage.getItem('@kundli_profiles');
        if (stored) {
          const parsed = JSON.parse(stored);
          setProfiles(parsed);
          if (parsed.length > 0) {
            setCurrentProfile(parsed[0]);
          }
        }
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Failed to load profiles:', error);
      } finally {
        setLoading(false);
      }
    }
    loadProfiles();
  }, []);

  const createProfile = async (details: BirthDetails) => {
    setLoading(true);
    try {
      // Calculate birth chart from API
      const chart = await calculateBirthChart(details);

      const newProfile: KundliProfile = {
        id: Date.now().toString(),
        birthDetails: details,
        chart,
        createdAt: new Date(),
      };

      const updatedProfiles = [newProfile, ...profiles];
      setProfiles(updatedProfiles);
      setCurrentProfile(newProfile);

      // Save to storage
      await AsyncStorage.setItem(
        '@kundli_profiles',
        JSON.stringify(updatedProfiles)
      );
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to create profile:', error);
      throw error;
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  const selectProfile = (id: string) => {
    const profile = profiles.find((p) => p.id === id);
    if (profile) {
      setCurrentProfile(profile);
    }
  };

  const deleteProfile = async (id: string) => {
    const updatedProfiles = profiles.filter((p) => p.id !== id);
    setProfiles(updatedProfiles);

    if (currentProfile?.id === id) {
      setCurrentProfile(updatedProfiles[0] || null);
    }

    await AsyncStorage.setItem(
      '@kundli_profiles',
      JSON.stringify(updatedProfiles)
    );
  };

  return (
    <KundliContext.Provider
      value={{
        profiles,
        currentProfile,
        loading,
        createProfile,
        selectProfile,
        deleteProfile,
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </KundliContext.Provider>
  );
}

export function useKundli() {
  const context = useContext(KundliContext);
  if (!context) {
    throw new Error('useKundli must be used within KundliProvider');
  }
  return context;
}

Step 3: Birth Details Input Screen

Create a comprehensive input form:

// screens/BirthDetailsScreen.tsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import {
  View,
  Text,
  TextInput,
  TouchableOpacity,
  ScrollView,
  StyleSheet,
  ActivityIndicator,
  Platform,
} from 'react-native';
import DateTimePicker from '@react-native-community/datetimepicker';
import { useKundli } from '../context/KundliContext';

export function BirthDetailsScreen({ navigation }: any) {
  const { createProfile } = useKundli();
  const [name, setName] = useState('');
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date(1990, 6, 15));
  const [time, setTime] = useState(new Date(1990, 6, 15, 14, 30));
  const [location, setLocation] = useState('');
  const [latitude, setLatitude] = useState('28.6139');
  const [longitude, setLongitude] = useState('77.2090');
  const [timezone, setTimezone] = useState('5.5');
  const [showDatePicker, setShowDatePicker] = useState(false);
  const [showTimePicker, setShowTimePicker] = useState(false);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);

  const formatDate = (date: Date): string => {
    const year = date.getFullYear();
    const month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
    const day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
    return `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
  };

  const formatTime = (date: Date): string => {
    const hours = String(date.getHours()).padStart(2, '0');
    const minutes = String(date.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');
    const seconds = String(date.getSeconds()).padStart(2, '0');
    return `${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}`;
  };

  const validate = (): string | null => {
    if (name.trim().length < 2) {
      return 'Please enter a valid name';
    }
    if (!location.trim()) {
      return 'Please enter birth location';
    }

    const lat = parseFloat(latitude);
    const lon = parseFloat(longitude);
    const tz = parseFloat(timezone);

    if (isNaN(lat) || lat < -90 || lat > 90) {
      return 'Invalid latitude (-90 to 90)';
    }
    if (isNaN(lon) || lon < -180 || lon > 180) {
      return 'Invalid longitude (-180 to 180)';
    }
    if (isNaN(tz) || tz < -12 || tz > 14) {
      return 'Invalid timezone (-12 to 14)';
    }

    return null;
  };

  const handleSubmit = async () => {
    const validationError = validate();
    if (validationError) {
      setError(validationError);
      return;
    }

    setError(null);
    setLoading(true);

    try {
      await createProfile({
        name: name.trim(),
        date: formatDate(date),
        time: formatTime(time),
        latitude: parseFloat(latitude),
        longitude: parseFloat(longitude),
        timezone: parseFloat(timezone),
        location: location.trim(),
      });

      navigation.replace('Chart');
    } catch (err) {
      setError('Failed to generate Kundli. Please check your inputs and try again.');
      console.error(err);
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

Step 4: Chart Display Screen

Display the birth chart with planetary positions:

// screens/ChartScreen.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { ScrollView, View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { useKundli } from '../context/KundliContext';
import { formatLongitude } from '../lib/api';

export function ChartScreen() {
  const { currentProfile } = useKundli();

  if (!currentProfile) {
    return (
      <View style={styles.emptyContainer}>
        <Text>No Kundli generated yet</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }

  const { birthDetails, chart } = currentProfile;
  const planets = Object.values(chart.meta);

  return (
    <ScrollView style={styles.container}>
      <View style={styles.header}>
        <Text style={styles.name}>{birthDetails.name}</Text>
        <Text style={styles.birthInfo}>
          Born: {birthDetails.date} at {birthDetails.time}
        </Text>
        <Text style={styles.location}>{birthDetails.location}</Text>
      </View>

      {/* Lagna Information */}
      <View style={styles.section}>

Step 5: Navigation Setup

Wire up all screens with navigation:

// App.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import { KundliProvider } from './context/KundliContext';
import { BirthDetailsScreen } from './screens/BirthDetailsScreen';
import { ChartScreen } from './screens/ChartScreen';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

export default function App() {
  return (
    <KundliProvider>
      <NavigationContainer>
        <Stack.Navigator
          initialRouteName="BirthDetails"
          screenOptions={{
            headerStyle: {
              backgroundColor: '#CD853F',
            },
            headerTintColor: '#FFFFFF',
            headerTitleStyle: {
              fontWeight: 'bold',
            },
          }}
        >
          <Stack.Screen
            name="BirthDetails"
            component={BirthDetailsScreen}
            options={{ title: 'New Kundli' }}
          />
          <Stack.Screen
            name="Chart"
            component={ChartScreen}
            options={{ title: 'Janam Kundali' }}
          />
        </Stack.Navigator>
      </NavigationContainer>
    </KundliProvider>
  );
}
