React Native Libraries vs Web Packages
Jun 28, 2026 · 6 min read
Some React packages work on native. Many do not. Filter by the React Native flag before you copy a web install into Expo.
DOM APIs do not travel
Anything that touches document, window layout, or CSS-in-JS for the DOM will fail on native. Prefer packages that document React Native support.
State libraries and fetch clients often share well. UI kits usually fork into a native line.
How to search the directory
Use the React Native filter on Browse, or open the React Native Libraries category for live npm results.
Confirm peer dependencies against your React Native and Expo versions before you ship.
