Any future support for React Native (expo) ?

🚀 Feature request

Would there be support for expo/react-native in the future? Wondering if it's possible given the architecture

Hi @octalpixel,

At the moment, we don't plan to support React Native but I imagine that we can make this work easily once we get the modeling of the component correctly.

I'll move this to a discussion in the meantime.

This would be a great addition.

Hoping to see this eventually roll out!

Zag looks perfect for a cross platform UI. The main challenge is that React Native does not have a defined document as its rootNode, so I guess we'd have to refactor how the rootNode is found when scope is created (createScope()) and make the typings more agnostic.

Once that was done I imagine it would be easy to add a react native framework based on the existing react one.

I'm not familiar enough with how Zag initialises its scope to get a proof of concept working, but I'd like to help in the future if someone else can break the ice :)

Yes please! Libraries like react-native-web and react-native-reusables may provide some inspiration on how to.
I was excited to try this, but we're ReactNative first so I couldn't even see if the library is good because I don't have any web only projects.

Expo 52 supports React DOM components. Hint hint, nudge nudge...
