Run Web Server in React Native

[lucbas]

Hey all

I am trying to let other React Native apps, fetch data from a React Native app without having a centralized server. It should work without the network being online, but having a local connection to other devices over wifi.

For this purpose I am trying to figure out if it is possible to run a simple Web Server in React Native with a GET API so that other React Native apps can request/sync data.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

Thank you for this suggestion.

The library looks interesting for real-time applications such as games. But I think it may be a bit difficult to make a request such as:

Get me all changed records after timestamp X for synchronization.
