v2.0.0

Highlights

Note

It was released as a major version because it contains significant changes, but we don't expect any breaking changes. The upgrade should be seamless.

Official support for Expo & web.

We're now testing react-native-url-polyfill against latest versions of Expo to prevent any issues.

Also, previously, relying on react-native-url-polyfill/auto would also apply the polyfill if executed on the web (e.g., via react-native-web). Starting from now, react-native-url-polyfill/auto won't apply on the web platform and will be a no-op. If you would like to still apply it on web, you'll need to rely on setupPolyfill directly as such:

import { setupURLPolyfill } from 'react-native-url-polyfill';

setupURLPolyfill();

Moving away from React Native's internals

To better support different versions of React Native and web usages, we moved away from using polyfillGlobal, which is part of React Native's internals. Instead, we use globalThis. See #373 and #413.

What's Changed

• Remove usage of RN's polyfillGlobal by @charpeni in #373
• Fix a phrasing issue in README by @plbrault in #442
• Add test for Expo 48 by @charpeni in #453
• Use globalThis instead of global in auto.js by @staltz in #413
• Fix Typescript error by @raykle in #444
• Add bundle-size script by @charpeni in #455
• Don't auto polyfill on web by @charpeni in #456
• Only default export is available soon by @charpeni in #458
