Jitsi Meet React Native SDK

Installation

Inside your project, run npm i @jitsi/react-native-sdk.

Additionally, if not already installed, some dependencies will need to be added.

This can be done by running the following script:

node node_modules/@jitsi/react-native-sdk/update_dependencies.js

This will check and update all your dependencies.

Because of SVG use in react native, you need to update metro.config your project's file:

const { getDefaultConfig } = require('metro-config');

module.exports = (async () => {
  const {
    resolver: {
      sourceExts,
      assetExts
    }
  } = await getDefaultConfig();

  return {
    transformer: {
      babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer'),
      getTransformOptions: async () => ({
        transform: {
          experimentalImportSupport: false,
          inlineRequires: true,
        },
      }),
    },
    resolver: {
      assetExts: assetExts.filter(ext => ext !== 'svg'),
      sourceExts: [...sourceExts, 'svg']
    }
  }
})();
