I want to be able to send music to sonos using its API. Unfortunately the only way I know is to send an URI to the device so it can download it.

I have visited already the package react-native-httpserver. This one has not been tested in Android. So I had a look over Android's nanoHTTPD and other similar packages in iOS as CocoaHTTPServer is.

It should not very difficult to create a wrapper over those packages to build something cross-platform but I wonder if there is another solution in Javascript or some work developing over react-native-tcp

Thanks for this! It is so difficult to search for this and not get basic tutorials on react-native-cli.
I am now searching for one of these two things and I'm having similar trouble: Serving a webm file over one of these http servers, or starting a Websocket server. Any thoughts?
For serving files I guess I'd use HTTP Static server
I am trying to create an app that cast local files but I am unable to do that, any idea how to access local files on server using above module
