Support react-native

[shaman-apprentice]

What's the Node.js/Browser version?

react-native provides a further JS environment for native mobile apps. I believe for small applications it is best practice to have a "thick client" and let it communicate with azure storage directly, without adding a server in between (to minimize the code / development and maintaining costs, as well as the running cloud costs).

What problem was encountered?

Unfortunately this package is not compatible with react-native, due to missing util, fs in react-native environment and maybe something else. Adding support for react-native in addition to nodejs and the browser would be awesome 😍

Hi, @shaman-apprentice :

Thanks for reaching us!

We've moved to Storage SDK v12 for JavaScript for latest SDK support(which has clean dep tree). That repro is with agile service and latest features.

Welcome to take a look. And please feel free to let us know if there is any issue with using it.

Thanks,
Jiachen

I tried to use this version, as table storage is not (yet) supported in v12. Digging a little deeper I have hope, that v12 will support it very soon :) So I guess just waiting is totally reasonable.

For reference:
Azure/azure-sdk-for-js#5655
Azure/azure-sdk-for-js#8946

@azure/data-tables has been added to repository https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js. You may have already tried with it.

Does this resolve your requirement?

Thanks for pointing out! Unfortunately I will probably have no time in the near future to try it out. But on first sight it looks good. So I would vote for closing this issue and if I or someone encounters issues with v12 of @azure/data-tables we can create a more concrete ticket.

Thanks again for coming back!
