How we updated our JS libraries for React Native

Algolia's mission is to provide the best search experience for every website or app. They have created clients for various platforms including iOS, Android, Windows/C# and JavaScript. Recently, they became interested in React Native, a new initiative by Facebook that allows developers to build apps for Android and iOS using Javascript. Algolia made their JS libraries compatible with React Native, which is now available along with a sample to help developers get started. They faced some challenges while making the libraries compatible, such as dealing with differences in Node standard libraries and XHR implementations. However, they successfully applied what they learned about React Native to make their JS client and helper compatible with it.
