can I use this library in a React Native app?

Aha. This SDK currently provides 2 bundles, one for Node.js runtime, another for Browser runtime.

The Node.js runtime bundle includes SharedKeyCredential, and depends on Node.js native modules.
The browser bundle doesn't provide SharedKeyCredential, and doesn't depend on any Node.js native modules.

The bundle entries switches are defined in package.json, all mappings defined in "browser" property will switch from Node.js entries to browser entries.

There should be some configuration work about the bundling and module dependency handling to do I guess to make it work on React Native.

I'm not familiar with React Native bundling and module resolving rules, and kind of busy working on another Azurite project these days. It's appreciated if anyone can have a look at this. Or I will put it into my TODO lists and reach back later.

We didn't test under React Native environment. Welcome to have a try, we will see what happens.

this kind of worked for me:
npm install --save xmldom

then in my code:
`import {
DOMParser,
Document,
DOMImplementation,
XMLSerializer,
} from 'xmldom';

window.DOMParser = DOMParser;
window.XMLSerializer = XMLSerializer;
document = {};
document.implementation = new DOMImplementation();`

However, it looks like that doesn't bundle the Node implementation, so you can't get SharedKeyCredential.

Then I git cloned the library, built the Node variant and copied it into my project. Then I get stuck because it tries to use stream and I get:

You attempted attempted to import the Node standard library module "stream" from "components/azure-storage-node.js". It failed because React Native does not include the Node standard library. Read more at https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/introduction/faq/#can-i-use-nodejs-packages-with-expo

Happy to try other things, but sort of stuck at this point.

@XiaoningLiu some updates on it?

[XiaoningLiu]

Hi @willianhf Can you help create a GitHub issue in https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-js and link to this? We can consider and discuss this as whole Azure JS SDK scope.

XiaoningLiu, does Azure storage provide in-house module for react native? There are a few 3rd party modules for react native and I didn't find in-house RN module. For a RN app which only access/upload the Azure blob storage, what module do you recommend? The scenario is that the mobile app users are getting the temporary key from its nodejs backend server and use the temporary key to access and upload blob images on Azure.

npm i react-native-azure-blob-storage --save

This is the only working RN library that integrates with azure blob storage.

Hi @Elijah23Johnson, is your lib able to use shared key ? Works like a charm when setting account privacy to public and using account key, but I didn't figure out how to make it work with account privacy set to private and the use of a shared key.
