How to install Libraries Like Realm

[FlaviooLima]

Hi, I'm currently trying to install Realm, but with no success. How can i do this?

[satya164]

This doesn't have anything to do with navigation

[FlaviooLima]

Can i just do npm install realm and react-native link realm? I thought that i had to do this in a different way because of this library.

You don't have to do anything differently because of this library.

@Kureev @satya164 thank you very much.

@Kureev and @satya164 this is not working on my side as well. Steps I did:

• created vanilla react native project
• add and setup native-navigation
• navigation works awesomely
• I setup realm by doing:

 npm install --save realm
 react-native link realm

and it shows the "Unknown execution context" error.

As soon as I repeat the same steps without adding and setting up native-navigation, it works, realm setup works awesomely.

Any ideas? Thanks 🙌🏼

ps. @flaviotobi did you ever get it to work along native-navigation?

@jpincheira To be honest I do not know xD, I connect the realm manually, but it starts to give me a different error, but I believe the realm has been linked successfully. Now I'm not working with this librarie, but probably tomorrow I'll start over again so in the mean time just try manual link to the realm of iOS Project. And then tell me how it goes :)

@flaviotobi thanks! I tried what you said, but linkage didn't work for me manually with the app. Same error screen.

Native Navigation still doesn't work as promised for now. You cannot install dependencies like Realm. The distinction between what should you really manage, if pods or NPM packages, is not well defined. Hope this gets to 1.0 soon as we can actually use it for most cases.

@jpincheira I'm gonna reopen this issue to see if anyone can help you :) And by the way, can you just try to start a new project with this libraries and after the first run on device (to check if it works the app) try again to install realm and linking manually ?

There's actually an issue related to this here but until they get around to adding pod integration you can try the following, it worked for me.

In the RealmReact xcode project file add

$(SRCROOT)/../../../../ios/Pods/Headers/Public

so that it can access the React headers.

In your xcode project add the libRealmReact.a static library under 'Linked Frameworks and Libraries'. Also make sure that the following is added to your header search paths.

$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/realm/src

Hi @jpincheira!

In order to help you I have to ask a few questions:

• What makes you think that realm installation is related to native-navigation? Did it work before (and stopped after native-navigation installation)?
• Based on your stack trace screenshot, I can conclude that most likely we can figure out the problem if you share part of your Home.js around line 22 & index.js around lines 60-70. Can you, please?

I am having a really hard time getting realm working with native-navigation too. I have been following along this post with no luck. I am working on a project built off of the native-navigation boilerplate.. at which point:

1. npm install --save realm

2.drag RealmReact.xcodeproj file into my ReactNativeStarter.xcodeproj and include header search paths as described above and link libRealmReact.a framework. (alternativley react-native link realm seems to have the same effect???)

3. when I build I am getting an error that 'React/RCTBridgeDelegate.h' file not found in node_modules/realm/react0native/ios/RealmReact. (I notice that the Pods/Header/ folder is completely empty)

Did I miss a step?

@pukeanddie Could it be that you're installing RealmReact version, incompatible with your react-native version?
