Hi all,

I'm not sure why there hasn't been any development on that. RN is now so widespread that that would make perfect sense.

In my current project, I have to implement nodejs-mobile-react-native just to get @azure/identity working.

I really hope there will be much interest in this integration.

@dittmarconsulting thank you for the interests! I am looking into this, currently investigating what's needed to be able to use @azure/app-configuration package in react-native.

Thank you for the pointer to nodejs-mobile-react-native. Would you mind explaining in more details what the package does and how you use it with @azure/identity?

Hi @jeremymeng,

Sorry for the delay.

I have successfully integrated azure-iot-device-mqtt and azure-iot-device into my RN app by installing nodejs-mobile-react-native.

It creates a NodeJS environment within the RN app including its own node_modules folder and package.json file.

The entry point is the main.js file where I hooked up the iot stuff because it's a node env like that

rn_bridge.channel.on('send-image-data', dataObj => {
  const data = JSON.stringify({
    ...dataObj,
    deviceId: 'iot-nextjs',
  });
  const message = new Message(data);
  mqttClient.sendEvent(message, error => {
    if (error) {
      rn_bridge.channel.post('system-message', `Send error ${error}`);
      return;
    }
    rn_bridge.channel.post('system-message', 'Message sent!');
  });
});

The only downside is the app size that will include the extra size of the node_modules folder but I think that can be managed by removing unused modules and some build tool to convert the packages into one small JS file.

I hope that helps.
