Feature request: React Native Modules

[SohelIslamImran]

Combine instantsearch-ios and instantsearch-android and create an React Native Modules for better performance and capabilities. Also, it would be great if you also combine algoliasearch-client-swift and algoliasearch-client-kotlin for React Native.

Hi @SohelIslamImran, we have no plans to do this, as the architecture of the native iOS and android clients and native InstantSearch is completely different to the architecture of the the web-based InstantSearch flavours.

You can use either:

• React InstantSearch Core for react native, which has been used in production by many applications and has the exact same features as our web flavours
• InstantSearch for iOS and android and create two apps
• create your custom implementation with the javascript client
• create your custom implementation with the swift and kotlin clients and some conditional code
