Run a separate Node.js process behind a React Native app

Github

Overview:

The React Native NodeRun is a deprecated library that allowed developers to run a real Node.js process in the background behind a React Native app. It facilitated activities such as running HTTP servers in Android, using Node streams, interfacing with the filesystem, and offloading heavy processing from the JS thread in React Native. However, developers are encouraged to use the more updated and maintained Node.js Mobile by Janea Systems, which also supports iOS.

Features:

  • Run HTTP servers in Android
  • Use Node streams
  • Interface with the filesystem
  • Offload heavy processing out of the JS thread in React Native
  • Equivalent functionality to Node.js on desktop

Summary:

React Native NodeRun is a deprecated library that allowed developers to run a real Node.js process in the background behind a React Native app. It provided functionalities like running HTTP servers in Android, using Node streams, interfacing with the filesystem, and offloading heavy processing from the JS thread in React Native. However, developers are now recommended to use Node.js Mobile by Janea Systems for a more updated and maintained solution that also supports iOS.
