Jitsi Meet React Native SDK

Installation

Inside your project, run;

npm i @jitsi/react-native-sdk

If there are conflicts, you can use --force Additionally, if not already installed, some dependencies will need to be added.

This can be done by running the following script:

node node_modules/@jitsi/react-native-sdk/update_dependencies.js

This will check and update all your dependencies. After that you need to npm i, if some dependency versions were updated.

Because of SVG use in react native, you need to update metro.config your project's file:

const { getDefaultConfig } = require('metro-config');

module.exports = (async () => {
  const {
    resolver: {
      sourceExts,
      assetExts
    }
  } = await getDefaultConfig();

  return {
    transformer: {
      babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer'),
      getTransformOptions: async () => ({
        transform: {
          experimentalImportSupport: false,
          inlineRequires: true,
        },
      }),
    },
    resolver: {
      assetExts: assetExts.filter(ext => ext !== 'svg'),
      sourceExts: [...sourceExts, 'svg']
    }
  }
})();
