Congrats to me, I guess. Sorry @expo.dev, but the credit is all mine.

The last time I used Gulp was almost a decade ago. Funny that GitHub shows it as a suggested workflow

React Native 0.79 (Metro 0.82) enables package.json#exports by default. It was added back in 2019 in Node.js 12 for ESM, but the ecosystem is still catching up, and Node.js itself has undergone significant changes regarding how it works with ESM & CommonJS.

One of the coolest features in React Native 0.79 is built-in support for "aliases" based on `package.json#imports`

1. Add the alias in `package.json` under `imports`

```json
{
"imports": {
"#lib/*": "./src/lib/*"
}
}
```

2. Update `tsconfig.json` to enable `resolvePackageJsonImports`:

```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"resolvePackageJsonImports": true
}
}
```

3. Then you can import from `#lib` in your code:

```ts
import { someFunction } from '#lib/someModule.ts';
```

Many libraries in React Native ecosystem are shipping untranspiled JSX which makes it more difficult since I can't even rename them. Something like this seems to work

Seems these got out of order

It'll definitely make it much easier, but it's already possible. React Navigation lets you override how URLs are parsed and converted back reactnavigation.org/docs/navigat... Here is a possible config

Working on regex support for linking config in React Navigation ✨ Any param name in linking config can be followed by a parenthesis containing a regex. Feedback welcome! Let me know if you want me to test any specific scenario!
