Common js modules in react native

Is it possible to make use of common js modules with react-native? The use case is sharing logic between a mobile and web version of a react project.

Ok, I'm new to this too but I think I've figured out how to include js code. I didn't have to add anything to the standard react native installation.

Create a Library of code:

//library.js
exports.foo = function() {

  //Do stuff here
  return "Here";

}

Import into another js file:

var lib = require("./library.js");
var myString = lib.foo();

I found the info from this blog post:
