Explore how Node-API integration transforms React Native development through this 31-minute conference talk from React Universe Conf 2025. Learn about the significant improvements Node-API brings to React Native, including faster builds, reduced native module failures, and enhanced testing capabilities. Discover how Node-API's ABI-stable boundary enables super-fast calls between JavaScript and native code written in C++, Rust, or other FFI-enabled languages, while allowing prebuilt ahead-of-time compiled libraries thanks to its stable C interface. Understand the benefits of unit testing that runs against the same native code in both Node.js and React Native environments, and examine the `react-native-node-api-modules` package for lazy-loading prebuilt dynamic libraries. Gain insights into the current progress on implementing Node-API support in Hermes and improvements to prebuild tooling across platforms, while learning how this technology reduces friction for both app developers and library authors, paving the way for cross-runtime, type-safe, and faster React Native development.
