React Native & Meteor implementation - ios

Question

I'm working on a react native app with a meteor backend. I know to tie these two together I have to use the node package ddp-client for the app to connect. https://www.npmjs.com/package/ddp-client
But what is the best practice for going about this. Should I:
Define the DDPClient and connect in index.ios.js where i keep connected and find some way to issue requests from the main app component? (I wouldnt know how to do this however but it would be a start.)
Only connect through dpp on each component that I need this for and issue a request each time?
Really any real example would help. Most of the code I find online are single page examples with not much else. Or just a push in the right direction.
p.s. The app is a marketplace. Thanks!
'use strict';
var React = require('react-native');
var {
AppRegistry,
NavigatorIOS,
StyleSheet,
StatusBarIOS,
} = React;
var DDPClient = require("ddp-client");
class AppWrapper extends React.Component{
componentDidMount() {
var ddpClient = new DDPClient({url: 'ws://localhost:3000/websocket'});
ddpClient.connect(function(error, wasReconnect) {
if (error) {
console.log('DDP connection error!');
return;
}
if (wasReconnect) {
console.log('Reestablishment of a connection.');
}
console.log('connected!');
});
}
render(){
return(
<NavigatorIOS
barTintColor='black'
titleTextColor='white'
tintColor='white'
style={styles.container}
translucent={false}
initialRoute={{
backButtonTitle: ' ',
component: Homeios,
title: 'hombro',
}}
/>
)
}
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
});
AppRegistry.registerComponent('someApp', () => AppWrapper);

You can use react-native-meteor package in your react native app which is pretty easy. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-meteor check this link for documentation it has many awesome functions including Accounts package ready to use.
