React Native and VR

Beginning with version 0.4.0, Slinky has official support for React Native and VR through modules providing external component definitions for each.

React Native

The slinky-native module contains component interfaces for React Native as well as Scala.js bindings to React Native APIs.

The easiest way to create a new native project is to use Expo Scala Template. This template creates a starter project with a minimal React Native build configuration that enables hot reloading and bundling into a production app.

You can use this template from the command line with NPM:

$ npm install -g expo-cli
$ expo init --template expo-template-scala

React 360

Similarly, the slinky-vr module contains interfaces for React 360 components and bindings for React 360 APIs.

The easiest way to create a new VR project is to use Create React VR Scala App. This template creates a starter project with a default React 360 build configuration that enables hot reloading and bundling into a production app.

You can use this template from the command line with SBT:

sbt new shadaj/create-react-vr-scala-app.g8
