Embedding posts from popular social networks in your react-native app.
The library is still in version 0, be cautious when you upgrade it! 🚧
yarn add react-native-socials
It is also needed to add react-native-video in your project because social components usually contains embeded videos. See react-native-video library for more information about the installation.
Finally, it is recommended to wrap those components into PureComponent because some of them can be costly to rerender (videos for instance).
WARNING as of summer 2020, Instagram has added a firewall to prevent scripts to access its unofficial API. It's planned in the migrate and use the official Instagram API.
