Calling locally hosted server from Expo App

Question

I am creating a react-native app and one of the components I have created contains a property which is populated through data coming from an http request.

Right now

Answer 1

To add to Tadeusz's answer, in the current version of Expo (I'm on 32.0.0 right now), you would import Constants rather than Expo (even though the constants are referenced in the docs as Expo.Constants.manifest), so it would look like

import { Constants } from 'expo';
const { manifest } = Constants;

Also, prepending the generated address with the protocol seems to be a must to make it all work.
