SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Web libraries and complex HTML/CSS rely on DOM APIs that aren't readily available in native React Native. DOM components enable web code to run in a WebView on native while rendering as-is on web, supporting incremental migration of web code to native.

Core Features & Use Cases

Run web code inside native apps via WebView while preserving web behavior on the web.
Reuse web libraries and web-based UI in Expo apps, enabling a progressive migration path from web to native.
Use cases include embedding charts, syntax highlighters, or rich HTML content that rely on DOM APIs, with native interactions where appropriate.

Quick Start

Create a component file with the 'use dom'; directive at the top and export a single default component that renders in a WebView on native and directly on web.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run web code inside a React Native Expo app?▼

To run web code inside a React Native Expo app, use DOM components with the 'use dom'; directive at the top of your file. This renders your web code in a WebView on native while preserving standard web behavior on the web platform.

Can I reuse web libraries that rely on DOM APIs in Expo?▼

Yes, you can reuse web libraries in Expo by using DOM components. This allows libraries relying on DOM APIs, such as charts or syntax highlighters, to run inside a native WebView while supporting a progressive migration path to native.

What is the 'use dom' directive in Expo?▼

The 'use dom' directive is a special instruction placed at the top of a component file to enable DOM component behavior. It requires a single default export component and proper dom props to control the WebView across platforms.

Does DOM component rendering work on both web and native platforms?▼

DOM component rendering works on both web and native platforms. On native, the web code runs inside a WebView, while on the web, the component renders as-is, ensuring consistent behavior across both environments without code duplication.

What's the best way to progressively migrate web UI to native Expo?▼

The best way to progressively migrate web UI to native Expo is using DOM components. They allow you to embed traditional web content in a native shell, enabling incremental migration by running web code in a WebView while developing native interactions where appropriate.

What are the requirements for creating a DOM component in Expo?▼

Creating a DOM component requires the 'use dom'; directive at the very top of the file, a single default export component, and proper dom props to control the WebView behavior. This structure ensures the web code renders correctly across native and web platforms.
