React Native WinJS

A framework for building WinJS apps with a React Native compatible API, based on the hard work already put in by the react-web project.

Adding to an existing React Native project

If you already have a React Native project and want to add WinJS support, you need to execute the following commands in your existing project directory:

1. Install npm install react-native-winjs-cli -g
2. Execute react-native-winjs init <ExistedProjectDir> that install react-native-winjs and devDependencies to your project and make a web directory with webpack.config.js file under your project.
3. Edit the root js file eg index.ios.js, or create index.web.js : adding the following to the end would usually get you started, assuming the root component is registered as 'MyApp'

import {Platform} from 'react-native';

if(Platform.OS == 'winjs'){
  var app = document.createElement('div');
  document.body.appendChild(app);

  AppRegistry.runApplication('MyApp', {
    rootTag: app
  })
}

4. Execute react-native-winjs start that starts the web dev server
5. Execute react-native-winjs bundle that builds the output

Getting Started

Install

npm install react-native-winjs --save

Add Webpack configuration

Inside your webpack configuration, alias the react-native package to the react-native-winjs package, then install and add haste-resolver-webpack-plugin plugin.

// webpack.config.js
var HasteResolverPlugin = require('haste-resolver-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'react-native': 'react-native-winjs'
    }
  },
  plugins: [
    new HasteResolverPlugin({
      platform: 'winjs',
      nodeModules: ['react-native-winjs']
    })
  ]
}

What does HasteResolverPlugin do?

When using components of react-native-winjs, just require('ReactActivityIndicator'), and Webpack will build a bundle with ActivityIndicator.web.js for web platform.

HasteResolverPlugin will do the following for you:

1. Walk over all components and check out the @providesModule info.
2. When webpack build bundle, it makes your components recognised rather than throwing an error.
3. It will help webpack build bundle with correct file depending on the tar* platform.

You can find something like @providesModule ReactActivityIndicator on react-native-winjs component's comment, it's for HasteResolverPlugin.

Fix platform differences

1. Native events without direct pageX/pageY on web platform

if (Platform.OS == 'winjs') {
  var touch = event.nativeEvent.changedTouches[0];
  pageX = touch.pageX;
  pageY = touch.pageY;
} else {
  startX = event.nativeEvent.pageX;
  startY = event.nativeEvent.pageY;
}

2. Should run application on web platform

AppRegistry.registerComponent('Game2048', () => Game2048);
if(Platform.OS == 'winjs'){
  var app = document.createElement('div');
  document.body.appendChild(app);
  AppRegistry.runApplication('Game2048', {
    rootTag: app
  })
}

3. Should care about fetch domain on web platform

var fetch = Platform.OS === 'winjs'? require('ReactJsonp'): require('ReactFetch');

4. Component without setNativeProps method on web platform

var setNativeProps = require('ReactSetNativeProps')
setNativeProps(this.refs.foo, {
  style: {
    top: 0
  }
})

5. Without some APIs like LayoutAnimation on web platform

var LayoutAnimation = require('ReactLayoutAnimation')
if(Platform.OS !== 'winjs'){
  LayoutAnimation.configureNext(...)
}

6. Need fetch?

  fetch = require('ReactFetch');
