How to port Javascript library to React Native?

Question

Could anyone give some general guidance or point to an example of how to port a JavaScript library into a React Native component?

Specifically, I am interested in building a React Native component wrapper for AR.js, but I have no idea how to go about converting their system (which uses HTML<a-scene> elements) into something I could use as React Native markup.

Not very familiar with react native, I just use plain react... but the process for making components should be pretty much the same I imagine. If your 'scenes' are going to be pretty similar with only a few properties changing and such, it;d be pretty easy to make your component, but otherwise I'd recommend just going with a prebuilt binding for AR.js, like this — Poootaatoooo

You cannot port AR.js into React-native without writing a binding

But still there is a dummy option: use WebView and feed with html files (test it by opening AR.js demo on Safari of iOS first)
