hmm?

why does it need to be before anything?

I mean the best place is probably the locations you mentioned since they run before any CLJS output?

its been years since I looked at anything react-native, so what does that look like nowadays?

there used to be a index.js that would then just import the CLJS output file

so just had something like import "./app/index.js" or whatever you called the file?

or is there no extra JS file getting loaded anymore?

https://github.com/thheller/reagent-react-native/blob/master/react-native/index.js

like that example

that file isn't generated, so you can just put the import there manually

that file is no longer required. RN now uses Expo, and you can configure expo to use index.js directly within whatever the :output-dir of SCLJS is

well, the trick still works probably though right?

so just recreate that indirection?

yeah I'll prob try that tomorrow since I'm out of ideas at this point

otherwise you can just maybe require it first in your entry namespace?

so just (:require ["that-thing"] ["react-native" ...])

the order is respected, so it should still end up first

I just tried that and it didn't work unfortunately. But as there are no errors, and "didn't work" is simply an observation of "I don't see anything happening".

Brain's fried at this point so I'll revisit this tomorrow to have another go at it. Thanks for the help 🙂
