Support React Native

[jjrv]

An Objective C bridge (and later Java, when React Native supports Android) is needed to communicate between C++ and React Native, or a similar technology such as NativeScript or Cordova. This would allow writing heavy duty algorithms in C++ while still using JavaScript for the UI. This is important especially on iOS where the JavaScript engine available to apps doesn't support JIT. The tasks are:

• Set up the project with an Objective C or Swift environment using React Native.
• C++ to Objective C bridge, using jxcore-cordova as a reference.
• JavaScript to Objective C bridge.
• Bind the two handling static method calls and...
• Numeric argument and return types
• Pointers wrapped as objects
• Constructors
• Destructors
• Non-static methods
• String argument and return types
• Getters and setters
• Callbacks
• Value types
• Vectors

This belongs in projects now.

It would be great to have support for Cordova even when not using React Native.

It looks like cordova-plugin-cpp-bridge does most of what's required.

Thanks, that's a nice find!
