There seem to be no direct support for React Native through Cosmos DB SDK or npm packages. The JS package #azure/cosmos while works on React Native for the Web, but does not build for the native apps. It fails to build due to Cryto incompatibility.
While Resource Tokens can serve as a solution for authentication, but App still needs to interact with the DB resources using an API.
So, how to go around this? Is utilizing Azure Functions as a mid-tier the only workaround?
Thanks
If you need basic functionality like querying, creating new items etc, you can get the react-native-azure-cosmos package.
However the functionality is a very limited subset of the full JS SDK.
There is no official SDK for now to target react native applications.
You will need to use an API App or Function app to interact with CosmosDB and call the HTTP endpoints from your device.

I'm building my first React Native app and I want to have Google signin.
I first went down the path of trying to integrate the library react-native-google-signin - seemed like a promising library! But then very quickly I got mired in problems with my development environment and figuring out Expo development builds. I never quite got it working.
Then I tried Expo's Google authentication integration, and I've gotten that working, at least on web and iOS via Expo. It returns the logged-in user's Google access_token, which I think is all I'm needing (I currently don't need access to any other of the user's Google data).
My main question is: what are the drawbacks or limitations of using Expo's authentication option, or, why would I want to use the react-native-google-signin library despite its much greater added complexity? Is the Expo option going to break when I try to officially turn my app into a native iOS app?
In order to quickly prototype ideas for a personal project I'm interested in a solution where I use Prisma directly from a react native app. (I'm aware this is not something you'd do in production.) Data for the single user app would be stored in some free SQL cloud DB. I would store auth information locally in the client.
Is this possible just like it would be possible in a nodejs Cli or webapp?
Currently Prisma only works on servers so you would need to use it on Node. There's a request for react-native support so you can add upvote the request.
Can anyone link any documents on using Instagram private API or Instagram web API with react native Expo Cli. I read about it and didn't find a way to do it due to the need for native code. However, I am unable to use XCode for several reasons.
Does anyone have a way to integrate or is anyone able to find any documents about using mentioned APIs (or modules however you want to call them) with Expo (problem lies mainly on the nodejs-mobile-react-native module as far as I have understood). Or is anyone able to link another framework with the capabilities of building Android and iOS applications with the same code or am I asking for impossibilities? I have tried flutter with flutter_insta but it has the limitation of getting only public account data etc.
Any help will be appreciated!
I am developing an Ecpo ReactNative app and i looking to integrate PayPal to allow users to purchase some products using Webview, but I don't know how to do it. I came across this article: https://medium.com/#adityasingh_32512/integrating-paypal-in-your-react-native-app-4dcf89e11dd which explains how to do it but he uses a nodejs server and i won't necessarily implement a Nodejs server...
I also came across this article: How to integrate Paypal using React Native expo? where they offer other solutions, but which didn't satisfy me.
If you don't use a server integration (nodejs or otherwise), then obviously only client-side JS will be available. Here is a demo pattern of what you can do: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client
There's nothing React-specific about it.
We are creating a web site which we want to use RN-web. (it's back port from RN app)
We'd like keep the possibility of converting to PWA later, wonder if it's possible to convert RN-web to PWA?
If you created your application with the expo-cli, now it's super easy to do it.
Expo web projects generate PWA assets and manifest by default, you only need to enable offline web support to get a full PWA.
You can follow the documentation https://docs.expo.io/guides/progressive-web-apps/
And enable service workers on your react native app https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/master/enabling-web-service-workers.md
