Readme
Background
This package provides an opinionated set of polyfills to:
- enable web5 to work on react-native with no custom setup
- increase performance using C++ native libraries similar to what underpins Node and Browser
Pitch
Use this package if:
- You're just getting started.
- You want to get up and running quickly on react native and don't want to spend time perfectly tweaking all of your globals and polyfills.
Anti-pitch
Don't use this package if:
- You want to perfectly understand the global namespace and everything that's going on with your RN runtime and JS engine.
- You prefer to self manage the versions of all of these dependencies.
- You don't want us to version these dependencies for you.

Usage
Install this package along with the following peer packages:
yarn add @tbd54566975/web5-react-native-polyfills react-native-quick-crypto @craftzdog/react-native-buffer react-native-blob-jsi-helper
Add the following code to the top of your index.js entrypoint:
import '@tbd54566975/web5-react-native-polyfills';
Add the following two entries inside the plugins
key of your babel.config.js:
["@babel/plugin-proposal-private-methods", { loose: true }],
[
"module-resolver",
{
alias: {
crypto: "react-native-quick-crypto",
stream: "readable-stream",
buffer: "@craftzdog/react-native-buffer"
},
},
],
For example (Expo):
// babel.config.js
module.exports = function (api) {
api.cache(true);
return {
presets: ['babel-preset-expo'],
plugins: [
['@babel/plugin-proposal-private-methods', { loose: true }],
[
'module-resolver',
{
alias: {
crypto: 'react-native-quick-crypto',
stream: 'readable-stream',
buffer: '@craftzdog/react-native-buffer',
'bn.js': 'react-native-bignumber',
},
},
],
],
};
