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

It looks like as of right now, some npm modules are not compatible with the packager. Haven't really dug into why yet, but what I've been resorting to doing is having a vendor folder and copying over the web version but at the top specifically putting

/** * @providesModule moment */

And at the bottom changing it up to:

module.exports = moment;

Not sure if this is the correct way yet, but the packaging is still pretty new to everyone.
