I have a Hybrid Android App which uses Android WebView for rendering the Web Pages.
I have Wiziwig Editor (which is written in HTML, javascript, and css). I am using Webkit Interface for communicating between Java and JavaScript
I want to integrate React Native in my Editor. Previously I was using JavaScript models and JS functions for implementing various functionalities in the WiziWig Editor and manipulating DOM.
But its UX is not fast and appealing. Moreover, I had integrated the Twitter BloodHound Engine in Editor. Whenever the user types in the Editor the typeahead list of BloodHound Engine lags.
I am thinking of using the React Native in my Editor. With React Native I can also use the Android Native components for showing messages and other things instead of the JavaScript Models. There are also other possibilities of improvement with React Native.
I built a demo app in which, I am able to communicate between Java and Javascript code using React Native Modules.
Question
My WiziWig has so much Code already written in HTML, CSS, and plain JavaScript. In order to convert my code to React Native and using Native components for UI, it would take a lot of time.
Is there a way in which I can use my old code base in React Native and then I slowly move the code to the React Native using JSX and components.
I have seen There is Render function in React Native for Rendering the html content. But I have to write the plain JS code in JSX. Is there a fast way to do it. Because my file has already 4495 lines of Code.
Thanks in advance

As the title suggests I am looking for a way to precompile a single or set of normal react components to plain html/js so I can inject this into my webview.
Since I am open to any solution I will give you some background on what I am trying to achieve. We are building a react native app and need to use Leafleft maps by customer requirement. Since Leaflet is not available for react native straight away we are looking for a way to implement it. Currently we are looking at compiling the leaflet react code to normal html/js and inject this into a webview. If there are other/ better ways by all means suggest them!
Thanks for your time 😄
I have created a website with react.js, Material-UI, and node.js. Now I want to create a mobile app for that website with React-native. I have used redux,react-redux, and saga on the website. I am new to react-native.
I want to know, Is it possible to create a mobile app and website in a single project structure, If possible then how? Because I don't want to repeat the same state and API calling procedure two times.
React.js uses HTML to render pages and React native doesn't support HTML so you can't use direct HTML.
You can buy react native theme that suits your need and you can re-use services and api call logic from react code.

You can't just use your whole code into the react native app.
First and foremost, you must adhere to the react native architecture before creating your UI with react native components.

The most of the assistance will be found here.
There is also the option of creating a new react-native project and using webview to show your entire website there.

I want to study a course about React, but I don't know couple of things, like:
What is the difference between React, ReactJS, and React Native ?
Well, if there is a big difference, What is the best one of them to study ?
I am really looking forward to study it, so if you got any information on the best way to start learning this course, I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
React and React.Js is one and the same.
React / ReactJs
ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library used to build the user interface for Web Applications. It is responsible only for the view layer of the application. It provides developers to compose complex UIs from a small and isolated piece of code called "components." ReactJS made of two parts first is components, that are the pieces that contain HTML code and what you want to see in the user interface, and the second one is HTML document where all your components will be rendered.
React Native
React Native is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing a mobile application for iOS Android, and Windows. It uses only JavaScript to build a cross-platform mobile app. React Native is same as React, but it uses native components instead of using web components as building blocks. It targets mobile platforms rather than the browser.

React and React native both solves different kind of problem. React is common library between react and react-native which provides supports for hooks and generate virtual dom.
react-dom will render content on web using virtual dom created by react.
However on other side react-native will create bundle for android and iOS.
Main differences between Reactjs and React Native
When it comes to a web platform, Reactjs can be defined as a base
derivative of React DOM, while React Native acts as a base
derivative by keeping workflow and syntax the same alongside
altering components.
React is a JavaScript library that can help your developers in
building a highly responsive UI Layer and React Native on the other
hand is a complete framework to develop cross-platform applications.
Virtual DOM is used to extract browser code in React; native APIs
help in rendering components in mobile in React Native.
In React Native, UI is rendered with the help of JSX but the
applications curated with Reactjs extract HTML in UI.
For styling in Reactjs, CSS is used, and React Native platform
requires a stylesheet for styling.
Using CSS, you can carry out animation in Reactjs; for animation in
React Native, you need to use an animated API.
I am working on a react app with mapbox that gets data from a JSON file and adds the data on the app.. I have successfully built the app. But what I want now is that I want to be able to use my react-app as a web component. In a way that it will be usable in websites and web apps.
Think of it this way:
Your React application is the U-Haul truck that delivers everything from the Web Server (Back-End) to the Browser (Front-End)
Now you say you want everything wrapped in a (native) Web Component:
<move-house></move-house>
It is do-able, but you as the Developer have to develop all dependencies
It starts by fully understanding what React is and does, so you can wrap all its behaviour.
Unlike other Frameworks (Angular, Vue, Svelte) React has no "Make-it-a-Web-Component" option,
because React, with its virtual DOM, is a totally different (and rather outdated) beast that doesn't comply with modern Web Standards. (today [Dec2020] React only scores 71% on the Custom Elements Everywhere test)
See: https://custom-elements-everywhere.com/libraries/react/results/results.html
for what you as the developer have to fix, because React does not do that for you
Some say React compared to modern JavaScript technologies, Frameworks, Web Component libraries like Lit and Stencil or Svelte, is more like:
It is possible in react using direflow. https://direflow.io/
Whether the same REACT codebase can be shared across mobile web and mobile app?
Unfortunately, you cannot. React Native uses a bunch of pre-built components that are really just native iOS components wrapped in Javascript. For example, you could use <div> or <span> in React but in React Native you'd have to use <Text>, images can only be displayed in <Image> components, etc. There are also stricter limitations on what styles, data, or nested components each React Native component can have.
On a side note, trying to do this goes against the React philosphy -> 'Learn once, write anywhere'. You can try taking a look at Ionic if you're interested in something that ports easily over to mobile apps.
