Announcing the React Native SDK

This is huge! We shipped a React Native SDK 😄

With this new SDK, we wanted to take the hassle out of using TalkJS in React Native apps.

Before, it used to take a lot of boilerplate code to get things done.

• creating an HTML file for the webview
• creating the JS code to mount a TalkJS chatbox or inbox
• passing parameters from the app to the JS running in the webview
• sometimes also adding handlers so that code in the webview can call back to the app

All of this has been abstracted away now and condensed into a couple of React Native Components, an API that will feel natural to anyone using React Native.

Integrating TalkJS now requires significantly less code. Saving developers time and making their code less error-prone. Also, by using the SDK, developers get the guarantee for backward compatibility. Meaning they can be assured that even as TalkJS evolves, their code won't stop running.

We can't wait to see what you're building!
