Problem
In order for React Native developers to use the MongoDB watch method, they are required to perform the following setup to their project:
// Install the following dependencies npm install react-native-polyfill-globals text-encoding; // Add the following lines to index.js import { polyfill as polyfillReadableStream } from "react-native-polyfill-globals/src/readable-stream"; polyfillReadableStream(); import { polyfill as polyfillEncoding } from "react-native-polyfill-globals/src/encoding"; polyfillEncoding(); import { polyfill as polyfillFetch } from "react-native-polyfill-globals/src/fetch"; polyfillFetch();
Solution
Add react-native-polyfill-globals and text-encoding as optional dependencies to Realm.
Throw a warning when they are not present when trying to use the mongodb watch method.
Give instructions on how to setup.
Make the setup as easy as:
import "realm/polyfills/react-native/watch";
Alternatives
Just document this better and have the developer do the heavy lifting.
How important is this improvement for you?
Would be a major improvement
Feature would mainly be used with
Atlas App Services: Auth or Functions etc
