Is the Javascript API Compatible with React Native?

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to get the Javascript API to work with my React Native project. I saw the following post and have been playing around for a couple of days with no success.

https://community.playfab.com/questions/17622/do-you-have-a-sdkwrapper-for-react-native.html

The issue I'm having is described in the following Stack Overflow post.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59700857/javascript-library-with-typings-is-not-a-module-react-native

Has anyone managed to successfully get the Javascript API to work with React Native? Might anyone with more knowledge have insight on how to approach this? Thanks.

Tim

I can't speak to React Native specifically, but I've never been able to get the `playfab-web-sdk` npm module to play well with TypeScript. I usually switch to the `playfab-sdk` module instead; it's supposed to be for server-side node use, but it works great with TypeScript and a modern browser JS pipeline. I'd imagine the same would hold true for RN.

Sorry, didn't mean to focus that on TypeScript — saw the SO link you posted and drew a line that might not be correct.

Either way, my underlying problem was that the playfab-web-sdk npm library isn't properly set up correctly to work as an ES6 module, whereas playfab-sdk is. In my case, switching from one to the other cleared up my issues (although be careful, their APIs are slightly different)
