    You might find him on gitter
  • u
    He's still using that stack afaik, and starts new projects regularily
  • u
    He should have a working base somewhere
  • w
    Yep. I've filed an issue also.
  • c
    The app registration code is in the bin folder, in native js
  • w
    Yes, but it seems that 
    $hx_exports["App"] = App;
    isn't "good enough" - at least not for for react-native-cli version 2.0.1.
  • w
    If i use 
    -D js-classic
  • w
    and add the line 
    export default App;
    to the compiled App.js output,
  • w
    it works.
  • c
    Why is that related to RN version? It is just typical js export
  • w
    Just a uninformed guess - I just try to understand why all Haxe React Native demos (including your haxe-react-native-sample) require me to use 
    -D js-classic
    and manually adding that 
    export default App;
    line... 🙂
  • c
    I never need to do that
  • c
    I don't even know there is such a define 😅
  • w
    Strange... 
    -D js-classic
    It just eliminates the function wrapper of the haxe-generated code.
  • w
    Without it, I can't use 
    export default App
    - and without that I get the "Component Exception - Element type is invalid" runtime error... 🥴
  • c
    How did you import it?
  • c
    Haxe doesn't export default, but named
  • w
    I just replace the App.js generated from a standard 
    react-native init whatever
    command.
  • c
    So you need to import it as named import
  • w
    Aha. Where do I define that?
  • c
    You can check out the RN example repo above
  • c
    Basically it is 
    import {App} from ...
  • w
    Ah, I see. You have that extra index.target.js-file that imports the Haxe generated script.
  • w
    Ok, that basically does the same thing as my solution - adds the "glue" needed for react-native consume the Haxe generated code.
  • w
    I was hoping that this wouldn't be needed. (No big deal of course.)
  • w
    Let's hope this es6 export issue will be adressed soon: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues/8033
  • u
    It's in the backlog so unless someone (other than simn/alex) starts working on it, it won't be implemented "soon" =/
  • u
    Hmm it doesn't look like much at all actually
  • u
  • u
    So that'd work with 
    -D js-classic
    only, right?
