Merge react app with react native app

Question

I want to put React app files in the React Native app.

I used React Native Web to support React Native components in the React app.

Last step I want to put all files from React App folder to React Native App folder.

the difference is in Package.json

React Package.json :

{
  "name": "appname",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.6.1",
    "react-dom": "^15.6.1",
    "react-scripts": "1.0.10"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
}

React Native Package.json:

{
    "name": "appname",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "private": true,
    "scripts": {
        "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
        "test": "jest"
    },
    "dependencies": {
        "react": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
        "react-native": "0.47.1",
        "react-native-windows": "0.47.0-rc.5"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "babel-jest": "20.0.3",
        "babel-preset-react-native": "2.1.0",
        "jest": "20.0.4",
        "react-test-renderer": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
        "rnpm-plugin-windows": "^0.2.7"
    },
    "jest": {
        "preset": "react-native"
    }
}

So is it possible I can merge the two packages together?

Answer 1

For your native app you can use package.json from React Native, no need to merge. You don't need "react-dom" and similar libs in native app. If your components are all from React Native for Web, there will be no problem running them on native.
