Polyfills

Recommended: JavaScript SDK for React Native

While this SDK is still supported, we recommend using newer JavaScript SDK, which is optimized for React Native, but also comes with a host of other benefits.

Your React Native project might require polyfills for certain global objects. The requirements differ based on your Expo SDK version.

Expo SDK 54 and above have built-in support for most polyfills.

Expo SDK 53 and below require additional polyfills as described in the sections below.

For Expo SDK 54 and Above

Installation

npm install @react-native-anywhere/polyfill-base64

Include the following code in your project’s entry point:

import '@react-native-anywhere/polyfill-base64';

For Expo SDK 53 and Below

Installation

npm install text-encoding react-native-get-random-values buffer @react-native-anywhere/polyfill-base64

Include the following code in your project’s entry point to set up the polyfills:

import 'react-native-get-random-values';
import '@react-native-anywhere/polyfill-base64';
import { Buffer } from 'buffer';

// Polyfill for @dynamic-labs/solana-extension
global.TextEncoder = require('text-encoding').TextEncoder;
global.Buffer = Buffer;
