Support React Native

[kumar303]

Currently, skeleton-kit only supports the web. This ticket is about supporting an implementation that can be used in React Native.

What's needed?

• A native animation implementation
• Style definitions that are compatible with React Native
• A way to render React Native host nodes such as Text
• A solid example app to show it in action

---

I once made a prototype to see how hard it would be to support both from the same implementation using react-native-web for the web part.

Notes on this prototype:

• Telling web users to rely on react-native-web seems a bit heavyweight. At the very least it requires tree shaking in the bundling step.
• I used react-native-extended-stylesheet for web-like things such as rem units but ran into a blocker for unit testing.
• The react-native-extended-stylesheet lib requires an awkward initialization step
• All in all, it could be used as inspiration if someone wants to pick up this ticket
• It might be simpler just to introduce a compatibility layer at skeleton-kit/native using styled-components/native
