Rust support

[dougg0k]

Hi,

Nice project.

I was looking for a simple alternative to use Rust in react-native, so far, this seems the most clean.

I checked your packages, there is a ferric-cli and ferric-example, does this mean, if one install ferric-cli as devDep, you can essentially add Rust code into a react-native app / lib with @napi-rs clean api?

@dougg0k I converted this to a discussion.

And yes, this is the main focus of the Ferric CLI: Wrap napi.rs to produce prebuilds for React Native.

It's still a bit rough around the edges, and we're still in the process of making content (docs and examples) on using it, but the essential functionality should be there 👍 If you haven't already come across my talk on the tool, you might find that interesting too: https://gitnation.com/contents/rusty-native-modules-for-react-native
