SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables Expo apps to run web-only code inside native environments by embedding web content through DOM components, allowing web libraries to render without rewriting.

Core Features & Use Cases

Embed web libraries in native apps via DOM components to render libraries that depend on DOM APIs inside an Expo application.
Migrate web code to native incrementally without a complete rewrite, easing portability between web and mobile.
Use cases include charts, syntax highlighters, HTML content, and other embeds that require a browser context within a mobile or web app.

Quick Start

Create a minimal Expo example that renders a web-based chart inside a native app using a DOM component.
