Update package.json "react-native" field instead of "browser"

[siuying]

As react-native has added support of "react-native" field to package.json, maybe this package can modify that field instead of browser?

I'm trying to build an app have share code based between web app, electron and react-native app, limit the hacks on react-native seems proper.

@siuying yea, I was the one added the "react-native" field support in react-native, but i see that they only released it in 0.17. Would you like to take a stab at a PR? For example, perform react-native depedency version detection, and choose the field accordingly?

I just made a tiny change and it work for my purpose: siuying@a3385e2 .

After some testing I figure react-native is not the best solution for my problem, so I didn't really use it. But apps like popcorn time for react-native is definitely something I want to build later 😁

popcorn time in react-native is a good idea :) I've gotten webtorrent working in react-native, so it's definitely possible. I'm curious, why did react-native turn out to be no the best solution for your problem?

I have written an app use apple tv to drive a remote peerflix and work well, if it can run peerflix itself then it would save the time to open the companion mac app...

I'm writing a hybird app which contains both web and native element, run on desktop (electron) and mobile. I'd also need to run pouchdb/couchdb for p2p sync. It'd be great if I can use one code base, reuse the business logic across app. I figure the business logic i can reuse is not that much, and prefer to write them again in Swift rather than fighting with the react packager / webpack / npm install.

@siuying sounds cool! If you end up open sourcing it, send me a link. I know what you mean about fighting the tooling

This one is fixed by https://github.com/mvayngrib/rn-nodeify/pull/8 and can be closed

@mvayngrib I've made an experiment to use JXcore to run peerflix

[mvayngrib]

@siuying very cool! I actually read your article before your comment :) If you're interested in comparing JXCore with React Native, you can try the same experiment with rn-nodeify. I know for a fact that webtorrent worked in React Native with rn-nodeify a few months ago.
