Yes.

How so? I have built the single JS file according to the instructions but I get _ is not defined even though I import lodash before ripple-lib - like so

import _ from 'lodash'
import '../lib/ripple-0.17.9'

How is this done properly, @intelliot ?

I have Super expression must either be null or a function, not object error.

I'm having trouble importing this library into my React Native project. I'm getting an error that node_modules/ripple-lib/dist/api.js is trying to require a module called "event" that does not exist in the module map.

This is how I'm importing
import { RippleAPI } from 'ripple-lib';

Not sure if this is a React Native issue or an issue with this library. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm not familiar enough with react-native to debug this too deeply, but it looks like Node.js/NPM packages aren't completely plug-and-play on react-native. For example, "events" module not found is because "events" is a Node.js core module, so it makes sense that this would fail when run outside of Node.

It would be great if someone with more react-native experience could give some guidance here. For example, should this be solved via:

• React Native Bundler / https://gist.github.com/parshap/e3063d9bf6058041b34b26b7166fd6bd
• Publishing uncompiled source so that react-native tooling can better handle?
• Use the bundled browser version in build/?
• Move from node core modules like "events" to userland packages like "event-emitter"?

I'm experiencing this issue as well. Have you managed to find a work around?

After hours of research and testing I found a way to integrate ripple-lib in React Native and created a boilerplate project with a demo and a description of the steps I took to make it work:

FYI - I have created a PR #1341 to update instructions on how to use ripple-lib with React Native.

[intelliot]

Fixed by #1387. Instructions are in the README.
