Resolving integration issues for Para in React Native and Expo environments
When incorporating Para into React Native or Expo applications, developers may face specific hurdles. This guide offers solutions to common problems and provides best practices for a smooth integration process.
Using an LLM (ChatGPT, Claude) or Coding Assistant (Cursor, Github Copilot)? Here are a few tips:
Before addressing specific issues, try these general troubleshooting steps for both React Native and Expo projects:
Clear Cache and Dependencies
Rebuild iOS and Android folders (Expo)
bash expo prebuild --clean
Rebuild the project
Missing Polyfills
Error: Errors related to missing modules like crypto
, buffer
, or stream
.
Solution: Update your metro.config.js
to include necessary polyfills:
Incomplete Shims
Error: Errors persist despite Metro configuration, often related to global objects.
Solution: Create a shim.js
file at the root of your project and import it in your entry file.
For the complete shim.js
setup, refer to the Polyfills and Shims section in the React Native and Expo setup guides.
Missing Crypto Subtle API
Error: Errors related to crypto.subtle
API or missing cryptographic functions.
Solution: Add the PolyfillCrypto
component to your root App
component.
Storage-Related Errors
