This commit makes it possible to share code more broadly between react native platforms. For example, take the following package.json field:
package.json
With this set our components can import from react-native rather than react-native-macos, allowing code sharing between react native platforms more easily.
Having the ability to use the same imports across platforms is incredibly important. Using the
browser
orreact-native
fields of package.json is the accepted way by the community to shim global requires (it's the only way that the React packager accepts shims). The React Native Web project uses a webpack alias to make it possible to use React Native code to target the web without modification.The new
react-native-macos
field in package.json that functions the same way asreact-native
to shim one-level deep requires/imports. See facebook/react-native#5917 for details ofbrowser
andreact-native
fields.I've tested this locally myself and it works fine. I've tried to keep the same rules in this commit, simply adding react native macos as the highest precedence for shimming.
