{"id":18027,"library":"autobots-framework","title":"Autobots React Native Native Interaction Framework","description":"Autobots Framework (autobots-framework) is a niche JavaScript library designed to facilitate interaction between React Native (RN) applications and underlying native functionalities. Primarily, it offers a `Native` module to expose platform-specific methods, such as navigating to a home page. The package is currently at version 1.1.64. Based on its GitHub activity, with the last commit in late 2020, it appears to have a very slow release cadence or is possibly no longer actively maintained. Its key differentiator is its direct bridging capability for React Native, but it lacks extensive documentation or a broad community, suggesting it might be an internal or highly specialized tool rather than a general-purpose framework. It requires React Native as a peer dependency.","status":"maintenance","version":"1.1.64","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/autobots88/autobots-framework","tags":["javascript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install autobots-framework","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add autobots-framework","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add autobots-framework","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Peer dependency; this framework provides native bridging functionalities for React Native applications.","package":"react-native","optional":false}],"imports":[{"note":"The library primarily uses ES Module syntax as indicated by its usage examples.
