I am currently using react-native-safari-view
module in my React Native project for showing web views in iOS.
As the module is not yet implemented for Android, when I try to build the project for Android, it gives me an error at this line:
import SafariView from 'react-native-safari-view'
I am going to use the Linking
library for Android, but I don't know how to use the same code for two platforms.
I tried:
if (Platform.OS == 'ios') {
import SafariView from 'react-native-safari-view'
}
And it gives me this error:
import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level
How do I get around this?

To get around this I have been using
require
instead (but mainly for modules rather than components):For this particular situation I would definitely go for Konstantin Kuznetsov's approach - Just sticking this here as it might help someone else where making a wrapper component with separate files may be overkill :)
