uniffi-bindgen-react-native
UniFFI is a multi-language bindings generator for Rust.
This project, uniffi-bindgen-react-native, is a uniFFI bindings generator for using Rust from React Native.
It provides tooling to generate:
- Typescript and JSI C++ to call Rust from Typescript and back again
- a Turbo-Module that installs the bindings into a running React Native library.
If you're ready to start, then start with a step-by-step tutorial to make a Rust turbo-module.
If you're new to uniFFI, then the UniFFI user guide or the UniFFI examples are interesting places to start.
Why uniffi-bindgen-react-native?
- Spend more time writing Typescript and Rust
- Full compatibility with
uniffi-rs - Your Rust SDK is portable across multiple languages.
Why not, say WASM, via wasm-bindgen?
WASM is an amazing virtual machine however:
- your Rust crate must make alternative arrangements if it needs things that the virtual machine does not offer:
- threads and
- file access.
- you need to maintain a separate FFI (this is a temporary issue, solvable by something like uniFFI).
