I'm trying to utilize a vcard parsing module written in Javascrip but it relies on node.js core modules, fs and path. My application is written in React-Native. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can emulate the file-system and path modules of npm for use inside the vcard parsing javascript module?

The file in question is the index file of vcards-js and is located inside my node_modules folder of my application. So app/node_modules/vcards-js/index.js

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');

  • React Native is not running on Node, it's running on a pure Javascript environment, not only node API won't work, many Web API does not work either. Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 2:02

I forked vCards JS for use with React Native: https://github.com/idxbroker/vCards-js/tree/react-native

Instead of trying to emulate fs one to one, I use a package: react-native-fs Which has very similar methods and functionality as the Node equivalent. vCards JS only required minimal adjustments.

Feel free to use this version.

npm install react-native-vcards@https://github.com/idxbroker/vCards-js.git#react-native --save

It's funny you mention this because it's something I've actually already tried but couldn't quite get it to work @Daniel IDXBroker. FYI there is no directory at reart-native-vcards. If you have a working version, I would love to use yours
Sorry, we changed the repo name right after I posted this. I updated the original post to reflect the new repo location.
