Compatibility with React-Native about comlink HOT 4 CLOSED

That sounds amazing!

It would be great if this worked out of the box. I’m not sure everything you did was actually necessary, but I’d be happy to help sort this out. For example, I already wrote MessageChannelAdapter.ts to support string-based channels (like WebRTC data channels), so that could probably be re-used there. I am very conscious of Comlink’s size, so obviously I aim to add as little special cases to the core library as possible.

I have very little experience with React and React native, so I’d be super helpful if you opened a PR and gave me instructions on how to run a demo project of yours using Comlink. Then we can work through your changes and figure out which ones are necessary.

It took some more effort that expected, but I ended up wrapping comlinkjs with React-Native's WebView into a new package rn-webview-rpc that exports both a React WebViewRpc component, and a matching web endpoint. I hope you that find that OK.

After sorting out many React-Native problems, I think that there is one issue that should be addressed in the comlinkjs package:
Currently Comlink is provided either in ES6 or in UMD (or globally).
At the moment, ES6 dependencies are not supported by Create React App (read more about it here).
Also, UMD modules seems not to play nicely with WebPack: I've encountered a similar warning as in this thread.
Hence, to make it easier on fellow developers, I think that Comlink should be also provided in an ES5/commonJS format.

+1!

I've been trying to get clooney and now comlink to play nice with a create-react-app demo, but, so far, no joy.

Hey @gpolyn,
From my experience, you can make it work if you copy Comlink's es6 files (2 of them) to your src folder, so they get compiled.
