Exporting React Native app for web (HTML/JavaScript)?

I’ve built a small app with React Native and it looks awesome, but I was wondering - can I just export it for web (HTML/JavaScript) instead making a separate code in ReactJS for it? And if it’s possible, what are the pros and cons? BTW I used a free UI kit for the developing. Thanks!

For the web, you can use expo build:web
It creates a production ready static bundle in the web-build/ directory

You have two options:

  1. Use react-native-web and share 90% the same source code, between native and webapp.

    • Good for non-complex projects;
    • If your app have native/complex navigation, then it will have issues, because this can't work on web.

  2. Use web react and share some components.

    • Recommended for complex projects;
    • If you have a complex native app, share the components can be the best option;
    • bit.dev can be useful to achieve this solution.
