Is invariant usage endorsed? If yes, how to get it?

[ghost]

See oney/react-native-gcm-android#4 for the problem. The module uses invariant(...) call, but the old require('invariant') is not weorking any more, and the solution (oney/react-native-gcm-android@ca9087f) is less than optimal.

Should invariant be used? If yes, how to obtain it right way?

invariant is a private implementation detail of React Native. The public interface is whatever is exported from require('react-native').
