Bringing Node-API to React Native

We have a need for faster build times, less failures of 3rd party libraries at build time and thoroughly tested native modules. Node-API enables all of the above, through an ABI-safe and -stable boundary and existing support in Node.js and many other runtimes. In this talk, I want to share the latest progress on bringing Node-API to React Native.With a Node-API native modules for React Native, you can get:1) Super fast calls between the JavaScript and native code written in C++, Rust or other languages with support for foreign function interfaces (FFI).2) Libraries published via prebuilds (compiled ahead-of-time) as Node-API provides an ABI stable C-API.3) Unit tests exercising the same native code on Node.js and React Native.I’ll be sharing the story of how this came about, our progress on landing Node-API support in Hermes as well as the `react-native-node-api-modules` package, enabling library authors to lazy-load prebuilt dynamic libraries targeting the Node-API.I can’t wait to see what we end up building with this!
