Plaid React Native SDK

The `react-native-plaid-link-sdk` is the official client-side SDK for integrating Plaid Link into React Native applications, enabling users to securely connect their financial accounts to Plaid's services. As of version 12.8.0, it provides a programmatic API for initializing and opening the Link flow, including an optional preloading feature (introduced in v11.6.0) designed to reduce latency for users. The SDK also offers a declarative `PlaidLink` component and robust callbacks for managing Link success and exit events. It handles platform-specific integrations for iOS (via CocoaPods) and Android (via Gradle). Plaid actively maintains this SDK, with major versions frequently introducing updates to the Link flow or API integration patterns, ensuring compatibility with the latest Plaid Link features and security standards. Developers should consult the official documentation for specific version-dependent integration details.
