I want to use stripe.js library with React native which is only available with a cdn.
Is it possible to use a js library with a cdn only with react native?
If your goal was simply to integrate an external JavaScript file in your project, the best way might be to download the file from the CDN manually, or as part of your build process and simply require/import the local file in your app.
However, for using Stripe in your app, I'd recommend looking for a mobile-specific solution such as stripe-expo, or react-native-payments with the react-native-payments-addon-stripe. The stripe.js library is intended for browser use, and while it may work, mobile-specific SDKs are likely to work better in React Native.
Googling "react native stripe" turns out a few other third-party libraries as well. I haven't personally used any of them, but they may be worth evaluating.

I'm building a React Native App for a Chinese Company. I'm using Expo.
I really would love to use Google Maps, but it is not allowed there...
The best solution I found was to use Baidu Map,
I searched for SDKs and found some of them in GitHub.
I decided to use this one: https://github.com/qiuxiang/react-native-baidumap-sdk
which provides great documentation.
Although, I'm having some trouble implementing it to the app. I think that they don't support expo.
Does anyone here ever have a similar problem?
Or used another map...
Would really save my life!
This library uses native (Android & iOS) SDKs and provides a React Native API on top of them. Expo does not yet support custom native modules, which means you'll have to eject from it to use this package (or any other that uses BaiduMap or other native code).
I'm guessing they probably have a web based JS SDK instead which you could try to integrate into your app via a <WebView /> instead?
I am new to react native and expo.
This is the module i am looking at: https://github.com/leesiongchan/react-native-esc-pos
I want to build an app that can print using bluetooth thermal printer. I am not sure if i should build it using react native or expo. Please advise me.
Thank you.
Expo has its own limitations and there are even some bugs there too, Its good for quick development as the documentation suggests the same that it is good to get you started with development within minutes without much hustle. In my opinion, React Native CLI is most of the time the best option even if you are new to react native development. Because of the following reasons
You will learn a lot as you will get your hands dirty in core react native app development.
You won't have to deal with expo limitations
You won't have to be dependent on expo tools
Any Library which requires linking or contains native modules will not work with the expo.
The library you mentioned uses many native modules and usually these type of libraries are not supported and that is the reason why they've built their own APIs and Native Components you can read this,
the developer has not mentioned Expo support anywhere on the docs but still You can open an issue on GitHub and ask the developer if it supports EXPO platform or not, or maybe instead of asking you can try the library yourself and you will find out if its working or not,
I'm trying to build a mobile app which performs OCR. I've decided to use React Native because it's cross platform and Expo for the SDK it provides. However, I'm not quite sure what the best way to perform OCR is. I've found this tesseract ocr library but it seems that I need to eject from expo to use that because it relies on native code. I've also tried using this pure js library but that depends on util from the Node Standard Library which isn't supported by Expo. I've also the anyline library but it seems that using Anyline requires payments which I'd like to avoid if possible.
Is the best path forward using the tessaract OCR library and ejecting from expo?
Seems like there is no expo-native way to perform OCR: https://expo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-optical-character-recognition-ocr
I'd like to use Expo's barcode scanner component in a non-expo app that i've already mostly built:
https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/bar-code-scanner.html
Is it reasonable to do this? Or is it more reasonable to create a new Expo app then migrate my existing codebase into the new expo app?
My existing app was created using react-ignite, not sure if that is relevant or does not make a difference.
Generally speaking, integrating Expo components with native dependencies (such as the camera) into a non-Expo app is possible, but is a bit tricky, as you'd have to lift the source code from the Expo codebase into your application.
The JavaScript code for these modules exists in the expo/expo-sdk module, and are quite straightforward:
CameraBasedBarCodeScanner
Camera
However, the native module that's required to make the Camera work are embedded within the expo/expo client application, and depends on other parts of the Expo codebase.
Instead, I recommend you use the react-native-camera component, which supports barcode scanning out of the box, and is easier to integrate into a plan React Native application.
I'm new in React Native, please bear with me. I have a library, which works fine in NodeJS and in browser. I would like to make it usable in React Native too.
I created an example project, imported the library but it threw an exception - Unable to resolve module `http`. If I try to import the browser version, document is not available.
Since then I'm scratching my head - how am I supposed to make my library to work in React Native if neither the core NodeJS modules, nor document are available?
React Native does not have access to Node.js modules such as http, so any code that relies on that functionality is not going to work. You will have to remove or replace it. As for document, window and other DOM-specific APIs, RN does not use a DOM at all, instead it uses its own rendering mechanism that is coupled to the native APIs. You will also have to remove all those calls and replace them with React Native-compatible ones.
