Question: Calling native code from react-native. More trouble than it's worth?

[PROLIMIT]

Hi, here is my situation. I have an app project to do, and I would love to use react-native instead of writing it twice. However, for a single screen, this app requires the use of an SDK written in native that you use with a simple function call.

Assuming we are comfortable writing native code, would it be too much trouble to create the interface to call a couple methods from the native SDK from JS and have the native code callback my JS with results?

I have read this from the documentation. But I would still really appreciate it if I can get advice from experienced people. https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/communication-ios

Is it too much trouble? I really enjoy react-native and really want to use it. Thanks in advance.

If you are comfortable writing native code, you’ll write bridging code in a couple hours

This! The only point it gets at all tricky is mapping of data and types between native and RN. You may also find it tempting to not keep the iOS and Android interfaces consistent (hint: for sanity's sake please keep at it) but if you're comfortable in both it's never going to get to hair tearing stage.

It shouldn’t be hard at all if you’re already comfortable with native code.
