How can I use javascript library such as moment.js in react native

Question

What is the recommended way to use native javascript libraries in react native? Are there any specific restrictions?

Answer 1

Some of the moment methods work in React Native and others don't. I suspect it has to do with listeners.

I can use moment for formatting:

moment(new Date()).format("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss")

But not for active formatting:

moment(new Date()).format("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss").fromNow()
