NFR: Create own NPM package for react-native

[ovr]

Hey!

Goals

For now, realm-js ships with module for node and react-native

It's rly awfull, because it's not possible to install react-native package without it

1. Unable to install with latest node

Let's take an example, I am using node 10+ and react-native, I am not able to install latest package for rn only because I will get a lof of errors because node module didnt support latest node.

2. Take time to compile/recompile

Expected Results

Have 2 packages

realm-js realm-react-native

Thanks

I understand your pain on this. We have one package only as it simplifies many things. The downside is that we force you to use a version of node that we support.

As a workaround, have you tried to install Realm using npm install --ignore-scripts?

This helps, but this will ingore all scripts :D It's not a solution :(

The short term workaround is to use a supported node version when working with your RN app. Mid term, we will support node 10.

Node 10 is now supported. Closing.

@bmunkholm This issue is not about NPM, why did you close it?

It's architecture issue as NFR

@ovr Ah sorry - I was too fast there.
